man oh man..boycott is up to you I guess..or at least let them know about this crap..

Attention Santas:

This missive is directed at the guardians of, and donors to, tiny humans. If you fall into that category you likely are already familiar with Build-A-Bear, a world-wide corporation that provides the most innocent of services. They sell customizable stuffed animals. Make your own bear, dog…penguin. Cute concept.

So cute, in fact, that the Build-A-Bear empire sweeps across nearly every state and into 17 other countries. You’ll find their outlets in shopping malls everywhere and even some ballparks. The company also has a website called Build-A-Bearville.com where children can play an interactive video game that, on it’s surface, is unlikely to raise suspicion or sound alarms.

But when your unsuspecting tot logs on and hops a virtual train to the North Pole…you should know that he or she will be informed — by Santa Claus — that Christmas may be canceled this year due to Global Warming. Below is part two of the 3-part video.

That is a great post Stephanie. This is the kind of stuff you should look to expect however in the future. Brainwashing our children's minds one way or the other. Now they can't even wait to get them to school.

from a couple of people at big government who contacted build a bear..

More from Build a Bear CEO: Maxine Clark.

Our goal with the online webisodes was to show children, through two animated polar bears and a penguin, how they could also make a difference in big and small ways. The animated story occurs in the North Pole where the 2 polar bear characters live and they want to help keep the ice from melting so Santa and the reindeers can take off safely in time to deliver all their gifts. Thanks to the giant ice cubes created by the bear and penguin team they replace the melting ice and all is well so Santa and the reindeers do not miss a beat.

We had no other intentions with the story whatsoever. we do hear you and will certainly take your opinion into consideration when developing future stories. It is interested customers like yourselves that help us do a better job.

Sincerely,

Maxine Clark

another....

When a caller named "Anna" called Glenn Beck last week, I sent off a couple of emails to Build a Bear.

They responsed very quickly...

"through the voices of our animal characters, how they could also make a difference in big and small ways"

then when I likened their approach to "Amimal Farm" caracters, I heard from Maxine Clark...CEO.
