Kinkier than the average (Valentine's Day) bear

Want to whip that special someone into a frenzy this Valentine's Day, guys?

Well now you can with the Fifty Shades of Grey Bear from the Vermont Teddy Bear Company.

Inspired by the best-selling book, Fifty Shades of Grey, by E.L. James, the limited edition Christian Grey Bear, from the Vermont Teddy Company, is guaranteed to help you dominate this Valentine's Day. 

Seriously, what woman could possibly resist 15 inches of silky smoothness -- wrapped up in a suit? And are those mini handcuffs* I see in Christian Grey Bear's paw? Why yes, yes I do.

Act now, and for only $89.99 the Vermont BDSM Teddy Bear Company will not only send you (or your personal Anastasia) this adorably inappropriate bear but will also throw in some gourmet chocolates (no doubt so that you can lick them off her stomach... or other parts).

Btw, lest you missed the fine print, the Christian Grey Bear is not suitable for children.


*What, no whip? You should get your money back!

Having a bear of a day?

You've got nothing on Sulo Karjalainen, who runs the Kuusamo Large Carnivore Center in Finland and has a bear of a day every day.

Indeed, this modern day Grizzly Adams is known affectionately as "the bear man," and not just because he looks like a great big teddy bear -- but because of his symbiotic relationship with the many brown bears who reside at Kuusamo.

Prepare yourselves for unbearable cuteness, people....



Slurp!

[Also, how cute are those little brown bear cubs?! Moosh.]

Smarter than the average bear?

Hey, Boo-Boo, check out this video of a black bear scratching its back against a tree and then swiping a (I presume jelly) doughnut from a pic-a-nic basket bear trap at Jellystone Tuscarora State Park in Pennsylvania.

(What, they couldn't find a picnic basket?)

I wonder what Ranger Smith would think...

[Anyone else think that "bear" was actually a guy in a bear suit, at least when he was scratching his back?]

What's a bear gotta do to get a drink around here?

This Thursday evening, like many other denizens of Hayward, Wisconsin, a 125-pound black bear wandered into a local liquor store in search of a six pack, causing a bit of a scene.

While the non-ursine shoppers were ushered out of the store, the bear strolled the aisles for over an hour before winding up in the beer cooler, where authorities administered a breathalyzer test and took him away.


No word on which beer the bear chose, or whether he was a Green Bay Packers or Minnesota Vikings fan.
