Crazy For You
The Vermont Teddy Bear Company is taking some heat for offering a straitjacketed bear for Valentine's Day.
The "Crazy For You" bear, it seems, is upsetting some mental health crusaders.
Jerry Goessel, executive director of the Vermont chapter of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, said the bear is "a tasteless use of marketing that stigmatizes persons with mental illness."
Yes, because all people struggling with mental illness wear straitjackets. Oh-kay. Jerry needs some new hobbies.
