TV newsrooms get all kinds of weird-ass junk sent to them all the time. Stalker food. Crappy books and CD's. And tons of other, random press-release-related stuff. So, it was no surprise to my friend (and news producer), Hasser when he found a dumb stuffed bear lying on the floor near his desk.

He immediately adopted the bear as his temporary mascot and then somehow accidentally got soy sauce on the 'bottom' of the plush toy. Never to be one to shy away from toilet humor, Hasser named the toy "Poopy Bear" and made sure that everyone knew it.

One of those imaginary lightbulbs lit up above Hasser's head and he went home and auctioned the bear on eBay. The results weren't quite what he expected. Which is weird, I mean who wouldn't want their own "Poopy Bear" toy?

Anyway, the auction soon ended and full-time genius/part-time verbal abuser, B. Alan Orange won the bear. Hasser reluctantly parted with his toy, and sent it to Orange in Los Angeles.

Last night Hasser opened his inbox to see the photos of the bear posing with a bunch of celebrities, like Paris Hilton and Elisha Cuthbert at the premier of House of Wax!

Okay, how weird is this getting?

Knowing Orange, this bear is gonna be everywhere - much to the chagrin of b-list celebrities all over Southern California. And Hasser? He's out of control:




I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of this bear.
