I suppose that’s one the advantages of being female. We're allowed to get away with fluff-indulgence a lot more readily.

Apropos Share Bear, Wikipedia gives a slightly different account of the reasons for her makeover to the official site:

"Originally, Share Bear's symbol was a heart-sprinkled sundae with two straws. In 2004, it was changed to two heart-shaped lollipops, on the grounds that sharing milkshakes can spread germs, according to present-day distributors Play Along Toys. She is lavender in color."

Doesn't that just fill you with the urge to go out there and start punching something?

I guess the Care Bears didn’t manage to install quite as much love and kindness in me as they'd hoped after all. Well, sometimes you’ve got to do things the Professor Coldheart way.
