Being v. Nothingness: Challenge #5 Winner

And the winner is...

BEING!


Why?

1. The bears’ aggressive cuteness begs us banish it to a nebulous oblivion, doesn't it? Its manufacture, however, gave someone a whole few seconds of work, even if they got fluff in their trachea and eyes.


B. No sober person would buy this for themselves. Perhaps it's an impulse gift from your mother, or a stuffed animal you grabbed with a claw machine that you were glad wasn't bright blue (the animal, not the machine). It’s an inanimate stand-in reminding you of a person, an unanticipated hospital stay, or warning never to use that dating site again.


3. Brought to a developing country, this little guy could be significant in a way we couldn’t imagine-- or may not wish to imagine, depending on if an adult or a child gets it and their religious affiliation. In any case, it would be a lot cooler there than it is here.




NOTE: In 2009, the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt determined that the bear pictured below was the most happening bear around.
