Build-a-Bear sucks

[SLCentral]

How can someone get this goddamn bear and give it as a V-Day present? What ever happened to creativity and romance? Fvcking bear costs $50+ and is easily the dumbest gift I've ever seen for any occasion.

If anyone is getting their SO a build-a-bear for tomororw, throw it out.

Marketers and advertisers think people are stupid.

$50 for a bear? WTF? I thought they were $10 or less. Talk about markup

My roommate got his g/f one of these a year ago. When he was telling me the story of what he had to do in the store to build the bear, I was on the floor laughing. I thought it was the most retarded thing I've ever heard. However, his g/f loved it. It depends on the girl...some girls like the cutesy fruitsy stuff and are all for it, but others, don't even go near it.

Even if a girl is into that, avoid BAB. That sh!t is the anti-christ.

flowers are an even bigger waste of money IMO

No, people themselves prove that they're stupid. The marketers and advertisers just take advantage of that fact.

You can't think of flowers as a waste of money. You should equate them to apologizing ever if you were right, going to see a romantic comedy instead of an action flick or leaving the seat down when she should be able to check for herself. It's a small investment necessary to make your life easier.

My wife would be one of those who wouldn't go near it. Seriously, why the fvck would I buy my wife a stupid teddy bear? So we could give it straight to our son to play with?

Flowers are what she's getting...assuming I can pick some up on my bike ride home tomorrow. Maybe I'll just get her a card.

I bought one and put my voice in it the other day for $23. She loved it.

I'm guessing it includes fornicating with momma bear.

Vermont Teddy Bears are even more expensive I think

Seems like the OP made a fool of himself and does not want to admit it.

. I bought my ex-girlfriend a BAB about a year ago, and now I'm realizing just how stupid they are...haven't really bothered to think about it until now.

I think anything could get her clothes off, hence the reason she's an ex.

Stupid but at least it was something that you picked and "made".

Also BAB has some local only stuff too, in Europe you can get them with guards uniforms in various countries.

I love stuffed animals. My fiance got me one from BAB for our anniversary last. It was the perfect thing for me.

Yep.

When I first saw the Build-A-Bear stores open a few years ago I thought, "Oh, this is a store that isn't going to last long." I couldn't have been more wrong as store after store has opened and they are packed with girls and women every time I pass by one.

Please note my last post. :laugh:

Things he had to do included:

Kiss the bear
Rub the bear's tummy with "love"
Name the bear
Give it a personality
Clothe the bear
Etc.

Each time the girl helping him asked him to do something for the bear, he responded with a "wow, I can't believe I'm doing this."
