    They need to put a “do not cheer up the bear” sign on the side of the road or it won’t stop.

      Florida signmakers had a booming business in manufacturing signage for Florida Man.

      Nothing would make me more likely to hang out with the bear. Which isn’t to say it would be likely even then, but the temptation…

        How about: “WARNING: Cheering up bears could result in a fine of no less than $5000 or a 1-year jail term.”

          That would probably do it, though I was enjoying having a silly argument about it to keep me out of other threads.

              Drives to the bear with beehive full of honey and anti-depressants.

              Confuses anti-depressants with ADHD meds.

              Accidentally recreates Cocaine Bear.

              Bear is happy though.

    Leave Bear Affleck alone, he just wants to wallow and drink his Dunkin’ in despair.

    My favorite part of this article is what England thinks of the technology in Florida when they said the bear was “sitting beside a telegraph pole.”

    Why are the bears depressed?

    Edit: OK after reading the article it mentioned a Florida bill that allows people to shoot bears they perceive as a threat to their person, pets, of dwelling and the Republican sponsor of the bill wrote it because of bears high on crack. WTF…
