Teddy Bears the Way They Were Intended - With Fangs and Nails in their Giant Paws!

Hello Fellow Travelers!

I was going to start a big discussion on some important, tumor-specific topic (Brain Cancer and Cialis;  why "ED" is a problem for tumor patients.  Or is it "all in their heads"?) and then this happened.  I've always liked Steiff Teddy Bears, vampires,  and the band Muse.  I've always been interested in the Third Reich, I never knew why.  I saw somewhere that all you had to type to see the Muse video that won the 2010 MTV Award for Best Animation were the words Muse and angry teddy bears to U-Tube.

I'm usually game for anything having to do with teddies so I thought I'd have a look.

I vaguely recall the awards show from 2010 in fact Muse was the only thing I remember about the show because they brought the house down with  a live version of "Uprising".  So recently I looked at the 2009 video and it worked on every level for me.  Giant teddy bears, running amok with vampire fangs!  Giant angry, teddies in a tiny town, rising from the dead and catching fire, ending with a teddy bonfire and all the plastic people get their faces melted off! At the teddy bear bonfire.  It's  perfect!

In this video, several of my lifelong interests are all explored and explained.  And there is a teddy bear bonfire!   Presumably with vampire teddies!  And it is awesome!  Remember what happened to the SS officer in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"?  His face melts off!  Same thing happens to all the teeny, tiny, townsfolk at the Steiff Bear BBQ!  When I was a little kid I wanted a Teddy Bear Picnic, now I'd like a safe and sane Teddy Bear bonfire!

Now that mystery has been solved I can move onto more pressing issues, like cookies!
