"Those are definitely not Trolli Gummi Bears in the video because Trolli Gummi Bears would never be that rude. Trolli bears would extend their chubby little arms and give Katy a big old bear hug and whisper, 'Everything is going to be alright.'"
-Senior brand manager John Leonardo tells MTV that the Gummi Bears in Katy Perry's "California Gurls" video, one of whom appears to flip the singer off, are not at all representative of the brand.

I guess if Gummi Worms slithered into her cupcake-sprinkled bustier, that wouldn't be representative, either.
That's some Japan-style freakiness, Art.
hey, When in Rome.
Wow, his version is so much dirtier.
Leonardo's response is either incredibly creepy or adorable, depending on how seriously he's taking himself.
I like to imagine that after that opening line the chubby Gummi asks: "Now we gonna do this the easy way or the hard way?"
Gummi sharks however would turn her into Lemon Squares for tonight!
"...a big old bear hug and whisper, 'Everything is going to be alright.'"
I know what creep-A is, but this is creep-E.
Why do they have to whisper? It's the whispering that isn't cool!
Pedo Gummi Bear? No, seriously - how much better is this than the standard outraged bluster?
"After whispering 'Everything is going to be alright', the Trolli Gummi Bear would slip its knife between her ribs and rock her gently to her final sleep as her life's blood leaked out onto the floor. 'Shhh, shh, shh. Don't struggle.'"
Russell Brand's manager really didn't need to get involved in this.
The first Gummi bear's finger was too big. The second Gummi bear's finger was too small. The third Gummi bear's finger was juuuust right.
I think that "brand manager" is not aware of just how annoying Katy Perry can be.
Meanwhile, Haribo gummi bears are definitely in support of double handys.
I'm thinking Pulitzer.
