Vermont Teddy Bears and Pajamagrams
Can we talk about their Christmas and Valentine's commercials?
I'm home with a cold today - these are the cheesiest ads ever!!! We all know sex sells - but do they think the average dude is so dumb to think buying this crap is how to get lucky? Sheesh!

Yea, I wonder how many over age 21 women in the USA really do want a giant teddy bear? Maybe a few but not many.
Now my dog would LOVE that teddy bear to death for a few hours. Then it would be a big mess.

I personally think any chick that whines about valentines day, the size of the ring, etc, ain't worth having. I have 364 more days of the year to be romantic, I don't need to bow to some contrived Hallmark holiday and get suckered into spend 2x what I would normally pay....

Wait, what exactly was the wording? "I want to go to In N Out" is very different from "I want some In N Out"!  Those two days have very different endings!

They spend a FORTUNE on radio and TV ads. There must be some real cash changing hands.

Wow - last time I heard an ad like that was over 5 years ago -- I don't listen to commercial music radio anymore - I have Pandora One -- pay the $5 a month for unlimited time and no commercials. Worth the $5 / month for no Vermont Teddy Bears and PJ-grams.

Every single woman I know wants one of these damn bears. Even my trans friend Kristen has one. She's 6' 6", rebuilds transmissions and plays drums in a punk band.
I got my wife one a few years ago. She was happy.

The BIGGEST scam has to be the Star Registry thing. I mean who gave them naming rights to stars?

My wife would be upset if I spent money on that stuff.
I bought her a dozen roses after our second date. She thanked me but told me she doesn't need flowers as they just die anyway. We don't get cards or gifts for Valentine's Day.

I'm glad I don't have to buy 1000 X mark-up $$$ roses. They remind her of funerals!

At work they have TVs around that are on the news all day and the news channels have ads for the Vermont Teddy Bear. The commercials are insulting, but worth watching anyway...
This one is very hot. She's even better in the commercial. They've got a redhead too. The blond is ok.
