This Teddy Bear Will Sing At You For HOURS Unless You Destroy It

If you want to annoy your friends (who doesn’t?) then this teddy bear is guaranteed to make their life a misery.

You see, the Annoying Teddy Bear is its actual name and it is annoying for one simple reason - it sings Happy Birthday at you for a VERY long time.

In a high-pitched voice.

The only way to stop it singing is to wait for the battery to run out or basically destroy it completely.

And let’s be honest - who could ever destroy such a cute and cuddly toy? Have you not seen Toy Story 3?

So you’re back to the first option of letting the battery run out - however a video made by the creators of the bear shows that it will take three-and-a-half HOURS before that happens.

The bear is the subject of a Kickstarter campaign by Cornelius Malcolm Wilson and his eight-year-old daughter Mikayla, who want to make a whooping 50,000 of them.

Revealing the reasoning behind the project, Cornelius said: “We love to play jokes on people and thought what an awesome idea it would be to ship a musical teddy bear to someone that would not stop singing.”

He added: “We spent more than two years crafting the perfect annoying teddy bear that would p*** off someone you dislike or like.

“We performed a quality control test with over two dozen people to help us reach the perfect annoyance level.”

There is actually a safe mode where the bear doesn’t sing on repeat - but once you remove that safety tab, all hell will break loose.

Sleep-deprived parents may be ordering a few to take revenge on their little ones…

  • Even the gloomiest modellers admit it: Britain is not facing a third Covid wave

    It has finally happened. After months of dire predictions, modellers have concluded that Britain is not facing a deadly third wave, and that deaths are likely to be five times fewer than previously suggested. On Monday, as Boris Johnson announced that Step 3 of easing lockdown will go ahead, the Government released new models which paint an uncharacteristically hopeful picture of the coming months. Gone are the mountains of infections, admissions and deaths that were predicted in February, replaced with the gentle hills of a slight upswing once full restrictions are lifted. Here is how the models have shifted: Deaths When the Government set out its roadmap proposals on Feb 22, it was based on modelling from Imperial College and Warwick University, and pulled together in a summary by the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Modelling (SPI-M). The Government had hoped for a major easing of lockdown by Easter, but was forced to slam on the brakes after SPI-M warned lifting restrictions could lead to an extra 30,000 deaths. Imperial went further, suggesting 55,000 lives would be lost up to June 2022, even under the most cautious scenarios, and warned a third wave could be comparable to January, calling for masks and social distancing to remain in place even after lifting. Roll forward three months and the models have been proven to be way too pessimistic.

  • What is Prince Harry trying to tell us with his new series The Me You Can’t See?

    Just over four years ago Prince Harry sat on a sofa in Kensington Palace and told me about the absolute chaos he had experienced emotionally after the death of his mother. Back then, there was a real sense of positivity in the air – not just for Harry, who had finally arrived in a good place and was in a new relationship with the woman he would go on to marry, but for the country as a whole, which was, at long last, having a national conversation about mental health. Optimism abounded. As Prince Harry would later tell me, he thought he was out of the woods. But as he now knows – as we all now know – you can never predict what is just around the corner. Mental health, like so many other elements of life, has no absolutes. The work Harry has done on himself since – and the work he has done in understanding mental health more generally – is reflected in The Me You Can’t See, the documentary series he has been quietly working on with Oprah Winfrey and Apple TV+ for the past two years. The five-parter, which will premiere on the streaming service later this month, will put to bed any suggestions that the Duke of Sussex regrets the interview with Oprah that was aired in March. The entire series is based on a conversation between the two about mental health, the pair shepherding the way for experts and sufferers – including a few well known faces – to talk about some of the most misunderstood illnesses and conditions: schizophrenia, OCD, PTSD and the effects of unresolved trauma. If one of the criticisms of the mental health movement has been an unwillingness to talk about these more complex conditions such as psychosis, then this series will be a ray of light for those who often feel ignored by the mainstream conversations that tend to focus on anxiety and depression (debilitating conditions, of course, but not the only debilitating conditions). Both the Duke and Oprah know that star power can draw people to these subjects, and so there will be conversations with the likes of Lady Gaga, who has suffered PTSD, and Glenn Close, whose sister has bipolar disorder and whose nephew has schizoaffective disorder. But Prince Harry has been adamant that this is not simply a space for celebrity confessionals. They have also spent time speaking to people around the globe about their experiences, all of whom the Duke is fiercely protective of, knowing, as he does, how hard it can be to talk openly and in public about mental health issues.

There were no changes in the 14 constituency seats on the last results in 2016, with Labour retaining nine seats – including marginal areas such as Barnet & Camden and Ealing & Hillingdon – and the Tories five, including increasing their slender majority 10-fold in Havering & Redbridge.
