Build-A-Bear

"Build-A-Bear"
I love this store's concept.

Your kid gets to come in, pick out all the stuffings and fixins for their ideal teddy bear.. and then MAKE it themselves.

So let me get this straight. Children... do all the labor involved in a specific textile-like product.
Yeah that's called a "sweatshop" using "child labor."

More power to the creators of the Build-A-Bear stores. They get cheap (free actually) sweatshop labor.. and then we pay THEM to allow us that priveledge.

There are some kids in a third world country saying: "suckers, at least over here WE are the ones that get paid 10 cents a week making your toys."

Oh it's funny to me.
