Horrible People Do Awful Thing To Teddy Bear
Terrible news from North Carolina, where a symbol of innocence and hope has fallen prey to the innate cruelty and emptiness of heart that seem to be the hallmark of the age:
One week ago today, villains… sneaked onto Tara Wilson's front porch and stole the life-size black bear her father gave her for Christmas when she was 5. They gouged out its eyes, ripped open its gut, tore out its stuffing and wore its hide around the neighborhood like a trophy.
When the cry went out along her South Raleigh street – "Henry is missing!" – neighbors knocked on doors, quizzed the mail carrier and scoured dark corners until they spotted the culprit on a bicycle, Henry's brutalized remains around his shoulders.
Henry "was all dirty," said Wilson, 26. "And violated."
This sickens me on every level. But I would like to know more about the violating, for some reason. [Via]

What the FUCK did you do to your avatar?!?!?!?
Ack, Jolie, what Clarence said. If we can't count on your avatar every day, what CAN we count on?!?
mumble, mumble the day Dylan went electric, mumble, mumble.
But part of Henry will never return: the part that promised friendship and shelter to a little girl, the part that kept secrets from grown-ups, the part that guarded childhood innocence in its paws.
THIS IS WHY YOU'RE DYING, NEWSPAPERS.
One might feel more sympathy for Tara Wilson had she not been the heartless one who left her stuffed bear out on the porch to fend for itself in the notoriously raw, wet and windy North Carolina winter. For her to now complain about Henry being disemboweled by a local miscreant rings hollow. For shame Tara Wilson, you horrible cunt.
When my family was systematically mailing me every. single. thing I owned as a child, they sent me a stuffed bear I definitely don't remember at all? Like, this might as well be a stranger's stuffed bear. So I gave it to the cat to attack.
Bring back Jolie classic.
"Wilson, 26,"
Today we are all vandals.
