Vermont's WPTZ/NewsChannel 5 reports critics say the Vermont Teddy Bear Company's Mother's Day creation, "Bear-foot & Pregnant" is unbearable and offensive to women:
The company said it "was intended to be a lighthearted celebration of pregnancy."But the bear's name is disturbing some women's rights advocacy groups and is spurring negative feedback on several consumer Web sites.
The self appointed critics need to get a grip. Regardless of the complaints, the $69 Bearfoot and Pregnant TEDDY sold out. According to WPTZ, the Bearfoot and Pregnant teddy is selling on the Internet for four times the original price.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
I love this bear, not only is it sooo adorable but it is also true. I am a mother of two kids and I don't understand what the negativity is all about. The bear is wearing stylish flare pants, the ice cream w/ the pickle on top is genius, and bear-foot and pregnant is just a pun, a play on words. What could possibly be bad about this bear. When I was pregnant I wore tee-shirts and jeans and no shoes. I think they could have put the teddy bear in flannel pjs and with a chocolate, pickle, and peanut butter sandwich too. They should have came out with a whole line of them. I wish the price wasn't so high. My best friend is pregnant with her third and I wish I could afford to buy her one. I am trying to hunt one down on ebay. Thanks for listening to me ramble. Lotsa Luv, -Mother of 2

I think that people need to grow up and being a pregnant mother, I think that the bear is adorable and there is no need for people to take as a point to them. I think that people have nothing better to do than take critisism for stupid things.
