Crazy for You

The Vermont Teddy Bear Co. plans to continue selling its "Crazy for You Bear" through Valentine's Day, despite protests from mental health advocates. The 15" bear, that comes with a “Commitment Report” stating “"Can'’t Eat, Can'’t Sleep, My Heart’s Racing. Diagnosis: –Crazy for You!”", will be pulled after the day when millions under some strange mind control spend far too much to prove they love their partners for one day out of the year.

"A straitjacket is not a symbol that we want to associate with sales of a teddy bear for loved ones over Valentine's Day," says Jerry Goessel, executive director of the Vermont chapter of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill said. "And the use of commitment papers, legal documents committing an individual to involuntary treatment, is not something to be taken casually." I say he gave them more publicity than they could pay for.



I think it's hilarious and cute.

And you don't hear any complaints about the 'Horny Devil' bear, the 'Gangsta of Love' bear or the hip hop inspired 'Loverboy' bear.

Another case of "some one needs to relax"

If every single product that offended me was off the market there would be no:

Jessica Simpson products
Barbara Streisand
Beany baby anything
Dark Chocolate
pink
"******* for dummies" books
Etc etc etc.....

Jerry Goessel should learn to laugh a little. What a weinie
