A friend e-mails: “I once got a bear for valentine’s day that was in a prison outfit and said ‘prisoner of your heart.’ do you think this might offend the incarcerated?”

Actually, the Vermont Teddy Bear Company has a “horny devil” and a Playmate Bear, so I see this story getting bigger before it fades away. Where’s the Vermont governor on hellfire and teddy bears? And where’s the Department of Justice on the “Gangster of Love” bear?

Clearly, the Vermont Teddy Bear Company is a menace.
