Awwww, wookit da cute widdle teddy bear! How can I be hatin' on an adorable bear like this? I'll tell you why: Timmy is New Age creepiness defined. The product description boasts that "The more you hug Timmy, the more he'll hug you back! (the greater the benefit)" And under "What's inside Timmy?" it lists both "gentle magnetic fields" (translation: magnets) and "natural daylight energy" (translation: rainbows, pixie dust, and a heaping dash of The Crazy).
I'd let 'em off the hook with just an eyeroll, I suppose, if not for the fact that they start off recommending Timmy for children with asthma or other breathing problems. Um, folks? If your child has asthma, please don't put him to bed with stuffed animals of any kind, magnetic moonbeams or no. (If you still want to purchase Timmy, he's £29.99 at Revital.)
