Call me crazy but...

The idea of a teddy bear in a straight jacket just makes me laugh. But apparently some in the mental health field disagree. The Vermont Teddy Bear company is receiving protests after it came out with the "Crazy for you bear" which is wearing a straight jacket. Click here for story.

The company has decided to discontinue the bear, but not until it can make as many sales as it can during the valentine holiday season.

    I think it's crazy that there is a company called "The Vermont Teddy Bear Company".

    Well, in the company's defense they do make teddy bears and they are in Vermont. They advertise to the radio constantly.

    But more disturbing than the "crazy for you" bear is the playmate bear, licenced by Playboy. That's just wrong.
