Like a Good Neighbor, Who'll Choke Your Kids ...

Posted by Alex in Toy & Video Games on March 23, 2009 at 2:04 pm

File this under irony: State Farm gave away some 800,000 cuddly "State Farm Neigh Bears" to show what good neighbors they are, only to recall them because the teddy bears’ eyes could pop off and choke a kid.

Maybe they should change their motto to "Like a good neighbor, you know, the one who’ll choke your kids, State Farm is there." I kid, I actually have a State Farm policy, and my agent has always been nice to me, though I’ll be suspicious the next time I get a teddy bear from them ;)

Time Out Teddy Bear

Everything you’ve ever heard of that "terrible twos" is right. But thank the gods of commercialism, there’s a gadget for everything nowadays, including a timer for time outs.

Here’s a Teddy Bear Timer, which supposedly teaches your kid the concept of time, but I think it’s just another toy for him or her to play with while supposedly contemplating their bad deeds during a time out.
