Build-A-Bear Just Launched A Line Of Sexy Teddy Bears For Adults—And The Internet Is Weirded Out

"Sexy Build-A-Bear," once considered an outlandish concept circa 2008, is now heading toward shelves just in time for Valentine's Day 2022.


The line, Build-A-Bear After Dark, features a line of bears drinking wine, wearing cheeky shirts, holding bottles of champagne in silk pajamas, with messages that run the gamut from "Rosé over Roses" to "I love you."

The bears, while relatively innocuous at first, raised some questions in their mini photoshoot for the Brand's official Facebook announcement.

The announcement features a lion, patiently waiting by two poured glasses of champagne and a rose in a silk robe.




“Who said stuffed animals were just for the kids?" the brand began their announcement with.

"Why should they get to have all the fun? The Build-A-Bear stuffed animal gift collection has something for everyone—including stuffed animals for adults who are just kids at heart."


Despite the relatively innocuous nature of the bears, the website portion of Build-A-Bear: After Dark requires the user to be 18 years of age or older to browse and purchase.





While these gifts are cute, the selling point, as Build-A-Bear put it, is likely to only "get you hugged" rather than what the title and marketing might suggest.





The bears retail between $30 and $50 and will be on sale through Valentine's Day.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

MAGA Politicians Called Out After Falling For AI-Generated Photo Of U.S. Airmen Rescue In Iran

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
