"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.

Erin Brockovich Perfectly Lays Out Why AI Data Centers Are 'Pushing People Too Far' In Viral Clip

Self-described "people advocate"—a term she prefers over environmental activist or consumer advocate—Erin Brockovich recently sat down with comedian Theo Von on his podcast This Past Weekend. They spoke about her now adult children, the court case and resulting film that made Brockovich a household name, and what she's done since.

About a third of the way into the hour and a half long sit down, Von noted that what made him want to connect with Brockovich was an article she wrote for her Substack, The Brockovich Report, titled, "If Data Centers Are So Great, Why Are They Being Built in Secret?" which launched her mapping initiative posted on the website Brockovich AI Data Center Reporting.

Gay Conservative German Politician Resigns After Welcoming Child Via Surrogacy Despite Publicly Opposing It

German conservative Jens Spahn resigned from his position as the leader of the joint CDU/CSU (Union) parliamentary group in the 21st Bundestag after it emerged he and his husband welcomed a child via surrogacy despite openly opposing it.

Per the 1990 Embryo Protection Act, surrogacy remains illegal in Germany, a position long supported by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which reaffirmed its opposition earlier this year. While German law allows parents to raise children born through surrogacy abroad, arranging a surrogate within Germany is punishable by up to three years in prison or a fine.
