I was sorting through my photo Folders recently and came across this image I'd taken in downtown, 'Old Town', Scottsdale AZ, as an exact juxtaposition to this news story a few weeks ago.

Curious what others visualize the use of Teddy Bears for....

Wow! That robot is amazing!
I'd like one of those just to carry the laundry basket upstairs!! :crackup:
I'm not so sure I'd call it's appearance friendly. Needs some fur!

The photo of the bear with a gun in his arms..... BAD!  bear_angry

Ok, that first photo is just sick bear_shocked  It's like having a toddler in the same position...that's an assault rifle!  It's the ultimate sicko advertising for kids....if they think joe camel and Snap Crackle and Pop are influencing kids, this sign here takes the cake.  Sheesh what's wrong with this world??

The second one can come to my house for lifting groceries, gardening and laundry after he's done at Daphne's.  bear_laugh

That sign wouldnt last two minutes over here. Some bugger would shoot it full of holes.
That aside,  It is advertising directed at minors. Totally immoral if not illegal.

I have to admit, I'm at a loss to see the connection between a gun and a teddy bear.   bear_wacko

I've seen this sign for over a decade. I think in the next visit out to family, I'm going to go into Mandall's  and ask them for their rationale...
