Oh no, I'm sorry, I don't think I said it right. What I was trying to say is that it sort of seems to me like the Vermont Bear Company is trying to sound like they did something good, but they sold every one of those bears they made, and got plenty of free publicity as well. And after saying "no one can tell us what we can and can't sell" earlier, when they were refusing to pull the bears off the market, now that the bears are all sold, they are trying to portray themselves as compassionate. But their actions really only turned one of their bears into a hot property.

It was Vermont's handling of the situation that I was thinking of, not the conversation surrounding it.
