No, it’s not New Zealands take on the Teddy Bear, it actually is supposed to be Tiddy Bear. This bear has to be the best example of a clever product idea targetting the wrong primary audience ever. Have a look:

I just can’t comprehend what went down in the marketing department, let alone any department responsible for Tiddy considering it’s just a shoulder pad shaped like a teddy bear. At least the infomercial did feature children looking disinterested and attempting to get the damned thing off enjoying the bear, which probably should have been who they were trying to sell the thing to.

This has to be the most interesting disturbing confusing whacked out weird fest I’ve ever seen. OK that’s taking it a bit far, still an interesting commercial apparently on Australian TV (I haven’t seen it yet).

Aww kittys.

This picture actually makes a lot of sense:

The image was snapped by a speed camera in Germany, where the camera is optimized to take a picture of the person driving the car (a picture and allegation aren’t enough over there). In Germany the driver sits on the left hand side, which is where this gets interesting. The car (and presumably the driver) are from Britain where the person driving the car sits on the right hand side. The driver (and I have to agree with them) thought it would be a laugh to put a life size doll of Animal from The Muppets in the seat where the camera is designed to take a clear picture, frustrating the authorities who said:

This may be an example of the famous British sense of humour but it is still dangerous driving. The driver has been caught on camera on several occasions and the puppet is on the passenger seat every time. We suspect he positions the toy deliberately before accelerating past the camera.

NBC Bay Area has put together a collection of photos of animals as babies. Not just any animals though, zoo animals! Check out these persian leopard cubs:

Two Persian leopard cubs, the female Csiu, right, and the male Csenge, are held by keepers after they were vaccinated in the Budapest Zoo in Budapest, Hungary. The babies were born on September 26.

They may seem like a good idea now, but then they grow up… NBC Bay Area for more.
