UPDATED. Build-a-Bear joins the AGW cult

UPDATE: Vid has been pulled. Thanks to all the commenters putting me some knowledge, including SAHMmy who makes the astute observation that while the B-a-B CEO may not understand Climate Change, she understands market forces.

We did not intend to politicize the topic of global climate change or offend anyone in any way.

Original post follows:
------------------------

Via Big Government, a tale of propaganda presented by an innocuous and fluffy source.

The popular chain Build-a-Bear has a short cartoon playing at their website wherein Santa, Mrs. Claus, the elves, some polar bears and a penguin tell your children that Global Warming is going to melt the North Pole in two (not a typo: 2) days.

This would be a hysterically funny parody if it weren't targeted directly at kids. If you tried to write a send-up of the AGW cultists, you'd be hard-pressed to come up anything more patently ridiculous. The only thing missing is a cameo by ManBearPig.

Girl Elf: Santa, it’s gone!

Papa Elf: It’s gone, It’s gone!

Santa: What’s gone?

Girl Elf: Tell ‘em, Dad!

Papa Elf: The North Peak.

Santa: A mountain? A mountain’s gone? How is that possible?

Ella the polar bear: Santa, sir, that’s why I’m here. That’s why we’re here. The ice is melting!

Santa: Yes, my dear, we know, the climate is changing. There’s bound to be a little melting.

Ella: It’s worse than that, Santa, a lot worse! At the rate it’s melting, the North Pole will be gone by Christmas!”

Santa: My, my…all of this gone by next Christmas? I don’t think so.

Ella: No sir, not next Christmas, this Christmas! The day after tomorrow!

Anyone else just a little creeped out?
