There, I feel better now. I've defended the teddy bears.
I just contacted the Vermont Teddy Bear Company and told them politely but firmly that I'd never buy one of their products as long as Rush Limbaugh was going to be used to promote their products.

Imagine using that fat headed, pus-gutted, whiny, drug addled, lying, disgusting, self-centered, bloated, hate mongering, anti-American, slimeball, fetid, piglike creature to sell your teddy bears on Valentine Day?

Gawd, what a stupid thing for them to do. Is nothing sacred - associating a cuddly teddy bear with that piece of shit?

Rant off.

Thank you for looking. Now move along.

1. Thanks for giving me..

..another reason not to buy one. Why would anyone spend $100 on a teddy bear anyway? Few people have money for that these days.

2. I don't think I can take 3 more days of that horrid commercial.
I'd rather they advertise on Rush so I don't have to hear it as often while watching hockey.

8. Yes, and the women squealing and moaning like they're approaching orgasm is soooo realistic.

Where do they find enough guys stupid enough to by those gawd-awful things for $100 bucks?



Oh.

I can see why they advertise on Rush after all.

4. I love envisioning the sort of men who listen to Rush and would think that one of these bears is a
great gift. It actually makes me sad to think about such a staggering level of cluelessness.

6. Valentine's Day Scenario
Freeper's Wife: Oh...a teddy bear. Hmm....

Freeper: Yah, I heard about it on Rush's show...

Freeper's Wife: Well, if you really wanted to give me a Valentine's Day gift that meant something, you'll change your shirt at least once a week, stop fapping to porn on the internet, and quit farting in bed.

Freeper: Aww...geez...

9. Have you guys seen the ad suggesting guys buy their wives/girlfriends lingerie? It is so cheesy!
Edited on Wed Feb-11-09 09:30 PM by SCRUBDASHRUB
It was on around the holidays and now they're advertising for Valentine's.

http://www.pajamagram.com/

Notice each "pajamagram" comes with a Do not disturb sign. Cheesy.

Oh, and it even has suggestions for what to write in your card:

10. Fat Freddy's Cat!
I have one. His name is Freddy, too. "One fluffy orange cat is the same as another" "I'll get you for that, Freddy prrr prrr"

When I met the husband, he had long frizzy reddish blond hair, is a little on the chunky side, and had a fluffy orange cat (although her name was Yoyo) so when we acquired some fuzzy orange cats for the barn last year, one HAD to become a Freddy of some sort. (and he has elevated himself to house status, by getting mangled by a coyote or something - once in for first-aid no going back to the barn!)

13. You realize, of course, that
recognizing Fat Freddy's Cat dates you, right?

Edited on Thu Feb-12-09 12:33 PM by Kali
:hippie: but my (~20 year olds) kids all know the Fabulous Furry Freak Bros. and Mr Natural too. :P
THEY are the real cause of my age!

15. Yah...well your kids are probably hippy stoners, then...
I was really disappointed when I thought about selling my complete collection of FFFB comics, all bought when first published. Then I found out that Rip-Off Press is still publishing the damn things. I know who's been ripped off! Me!

There's still hope, though...my old Whole Earth Catalog collection's bound to be worth big bucks. :think:

11. The long version of the Vermont Teddy Bear TV commercial is even worse than the short one.

Vile, vile, vile.

Oh, and those cats are adorable.
