Bears of Bedlam

« Last Post | Next Post »

National news out of Vermont today.

And it involves bears.

One of the top stories on Yahoo! News this afternoon: the Vermont Teddy Bear Co. has caved to protests and stopped production on their Valentine's "Crazy For You" Bear -- which featured the fuzzy teddy wrapped up in a cute-as-a-button straight jacket.

"The $69.95 bear — which comes with a straitjacket and commitment papers — no longer appeared on the company's Web site Thursday."

I can see the point of mental health advocates, but it still seems like a lot of fuss over a little bear.

I could make a joke about anybody selling out $70 for a stuffed animal being nuts, but I'll resist.
