Build-A-Scare seems more apropos. See Part 2 of their 3-part indoctrination series:
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!
You can watch the other parts here and here.
Apparently, angry parents elicited this response from Build-A-Bear’s founder Maxine Clark. Excerpt here:
Our intention with the Polar Bear story was to inspire children, through the voices of our animal characters, to make a difference in their own individual ways. We did not intend to politicize the topic of global climate change or offend anyone in any way. The webisodes concluded this week with Santa successfully leaving on his journey to deliver gifts around the world. The webisodes will no longer be available on the site.
We did not intend to politicize the topic of global climate change — snort! No, not at all. Like all Climate Commies, you advance your agenda by instilling fear in children. This is child abuse.
