Is this what they mean by tough love?

A Christmas toy intended to spread the peace and love of the holiday apparently spews hatred.

As first reported by The Columbian, a Vancouver, Wash., family discovered that the toy they unsuspectingly attached to their son's crib utters the words "I hate you" amid the rhythmic ocean sounds designed to lull the baby asleep.

I can just imagine the parents sitting in another room, listening to the baby monitor and suddenly hearing "I hate you" now and then and completely freaking out. I also love Wal-Mart's response when asked about it. I think I can see a market for this though. Start young and have your child work through adversity to become a stronger person.
