OK, this is positively the last posting on this topic, but this is just too whacky to pass up.

Someone sent me a link to a website run by a company that offers teddy bear vacations. You can send your beloved bear to them for a week and they will take it bungee jumping, paragliding, fishing, golfing, or just on a sightseeing tour of the local town. Then they send it back to you with the photographs to prove it. All this for just $140 - $210 (€99 - €149) - in other words, probably ten times what you paid for the bear in the first place.

Can people really be so gullible, I wonder? Just for fun, many years ago, I once did a photoshoot of a teddy bear of my own relaxing in style on my lounge sofa, but sending a bear on vacation as if it were a sentient being that knows the difference between being at Paris or being at home is more than a touch out of touch with reality.

In case you're tempted to treat your own bear to such an experience, I am not going to post a link to the company's website here!
