Poopsie Slime Surprise in hot water over 'My Humps' parody
Looks like Poopsie made an oopsie!
BMG music group is taking legal action against the creators of the Poopsie Slime Surprise toy unicorns for making a parody of the Black Eyed Peas hit song, 'My Humps'.
According to TMZ, MGA Entertainment - which also behind the Bratz dolls - created the parody to promote the toys which, uhm, poop slime.
The Poopsie Slime Surprise unicorns are extremely popular and retail for more than R1,000.
"With water, a little unicorn magic and some sparkle, you can customize unicorn poop and transform it multiple times! Add surprise scent to make slime smell fabulous," a description of the toy reads.
A promotional ad for the unicorns, which have been around for years, sees an animated version of the toys singing 'My Hoops'.
The Poopsie song is very similar to the Black Eyed Peas single. "My poops, my poops, my poops, my sparkly glitter poops!" the unicorns sing in the video.
Have a listen.

The Black Eyed Peas, which is made up of members Will.i.am, Fergie, Taboo, and Apl.de.ap, released their version of the song in 2005.
The group's record label owns most of the song's copyright and is demanding MGA fork out $10-million (R171-million) for the infringement.
Mmmm, looks like Poopsie made an oopsie - figuratively and literally!
