I’ve read over and over the controversy on the “cute or boot” the bear rugs. I’ve decided to create a thread giving my opinion on the topic that has been put to us. I myself have gone ahead with voting “cute” for many different reasons. Others who have decided to vote “boot” have their decent reasons for their vote. I don’t want any flaming or ranting, but this is just my true opinion.
Many people support animals and do not want the need to kill animals for clothing, furniture, etc. In real life I understand the need for this, with the increasing number of endangered animals with each coming day. But if you think logically you can see that we are playing a virtual game and we haven’t seen any bears in the game. Logically if you think about it there are no bears to kill, therefore the bear rugs must be fake in other words it’s a faux rug. I understand some people think that any rug representing an animal means an animal had to be killed to produce the furniture but that’s not true. They can go either way, killing for the rug, or producing a rather cleaver imitations of the animal
My second reason that drove me to vote “cute” on the issue of the bear rugs is influence from the game. I read from another post that having a bear rug in a game makes kids think that it’s okay to shoot and kill animals for clothing, furniture, etc. But as others have stated, if kids are that easily influenced by a single furniture item, then why do we have violent games such as The Pirates of the Caribbean game where we are allowed to shoot other ships in hopes of sinking them. Does that drive kids to go out and become a pirate just to shoot down another enemy’s ship? I haven’t seen that in present day yet. I have seen kids been influenced by non-age-appropriate games, but VMK is a gigantic game and players have not been influenced that easily by the games and furniture we use. It might drive kids to learn that bears are made to be killed, but the majority of kids on VMK probably would use their common sense and see that the bear rugs are just a bunch of pixels.
Another reason I discovered is that this furniture item would make a great addition to many guest rooms (such as Briar Patch) as well as a new trading item. I have found that trading is getting harder and harder and VMK releases items for extended periods of time or just keeping them there permantly. They also have re-released items which reduce the value and rareness of many items such as the sorcerer hat and red penny press. If VMK continues with this then we may no longer have a rare trading world. But if VMK keeps releasing new items we would keep the rare trading in VMK. It would be a good decision.
I hope this thread has given you a new point of view in this controversy between the “cute or boot” bear rug argument. I don’t expect all people to agree. All people are different so therefore all people will have different opinions and views on this topic. This is simply my opinion and my thoughts on this topic. I researched the other posts and saw that majority of people agreed with me so I thought this topic would be a good one to discuss. Once again I’ll say that this is purely my thoughts and opinions and I hope I have not offended anyone through this thread. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Please use this thread for your opinons and be kind to to others :)

Ok so people I have posted about this a bit and want to share in my own post my wonderful example. You say this rug is a bad influence because it might encourage children and/or people to hunt and make their own bear rugs in real life. There are two very funny things about this.

Thing #1:
There is actually an argument in real life that has been going on for quite sometime now and is going on currently. It is the issue with parents saying that tv, video games, and movies encourage kids to be violent and do things in real life they shouldn't or can't do. I just find it funny that VMK will now be added to it.

Thing #2:
So like I said a bit ago the argument here to put a stop to the bear rug is that it will encourage little kids to one day hunt bears and make their own bear rugs. So if you think about it this one potential item is the onlything encouraging. So to the people that are saying this why don't you think other things in the game encourage little kids to do stuff. I will use me as an example on what you are saying applying it to other items and games inside VMK.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Examples
Items:
Dancing Inferno Magic Pin: So doing this magic encourages me to light myself on fire and dance to impress people.

Fireworks Magic Pin: Doing this encourages me to shoot fireworks right above my head.

Snowman Magic Pin: This shows me that I need to surround myself with snow and make myself a snowman so I can freeze.

Native American Headdress: VMK shows me that I need to walk around in a Native American outfit which might offend people.

Games:
Pirates of the Carribean Game: This game lets me know that I should get in a boat and go blow things up.

Jungle Cruise Photo Safari: This shows me that I can get on a boat and take pictures of dangerous and wild animals whenever I want.
----------------------------------------------------------------

You all aren't offended by any of those but they are capable of sending a negative message as well so why aren't you concerned about these? I just don't see how you have an argument because you don't disagree with any of the stuff I just said. If those are allowed there why can't the bear rug? It is the exact same thing. You don't have to hunt to obtain the bear rug. I don't know what you do but you probably will just have to buy it. So I am playing a VIRTUAL GAME where I BUY a RUG. This doesn't teach me anything bad. Like my examples above I am playing a VIRTUAL GAME and wearing PINS or playing a GAME! Just read the capped out words. See that is what you are disagreeing about.


My Final thought on this rediculous issue is:
This is a GAME people. VIRTUAL Magic Kingdom (VMK). Here are two definitons of VIRTUAL by dictionary.com.

1) "Existing or resulting in essence or effect though not in actual fact, form, or name"
2) "Created, simulated, or carried on by means of a computer or computer network"

Look at the keywords in both of these definitions. IMAGINATION, NOT ACTUAL IN FACT,FORM, OR NAME, CREATED SIMULATED "BY MEANS OF A COMPUTER."

Also it is just a game people. You over analyze things too much and you think into things too much. I read the arguments and hear things people disagree with on the news and tv all the time and I just think it is hilarious. You and/or these people over analyze and think too much into all these things yet you/they miss the most important part. It is fake. You/they are so worried about children doing or saying these things. Very few children have actually done things they have seen in movies and in tv but you/they miss something important. You/they blame whatever you/they think the cause, but the reason the child did or does it is because he/she was not raised well enough to know it is wrong or he/she probably shouldn't do it. So I don't think anyone should be too afraid of this VIRTUAL item because it is in a GAME and is NOT REAL.

Thank you for listening to my argument everyone and anyone who is thinking of voting boot that has read this, I hope that you think of what I have said and tie it into your argument and find how you are thinking about literally NOTHING too much.

Hope you had a nice Holiday Time and have a Happy New Year!

Here is a trivia question for anyone to see if they know. Disney actually I think two years or three years ago got in trouble for something because people thought it encouraged people to act a certain way in real life.

What Disney attraction had to be changed in order to remain up and running?

Please post replies on what you think of my post because I want to keep this up and running for everyone to see. I think it is a pretty stable and understandable argument that might change the way people think lol.

Well since the boot people have thier own thread(which got spammed by everyone,including me,I admit it)I think the people whom are voting cute need thier own thread. Go on,post your opinions

http://i13.****************/albums/a277/SoarinSoarin/BearRug.jpg
Its so cute <33

I love the bear rug. I agree with you, it's real cute. It would finish off my rooms!

cool thread schmoof, good idea. I hope nobody spams this one.

Now i see it, the bear is cute. But who knows what crazy me O_o will vote for.
;)

-CUW

I Vote Cute? I Think...

It's Kinda Cute, But Bears are Animals Not Rugs!

cool thread schmoof, good idea. I hope nobody spams this one.

Oh I dont care if they spam here,I did too much on thier thread,which I shouldnt have. I am hoping for the mods to clean up what I did...

ya it's so cute... It's like a virtual teddy bear.

-coolgogogirl

hehe my friend came up with this:

VOTE CUTE ON Prop-Bear Rug!!

I created a thread stating the same opinon. I'm glad someone agrees with me :)

-coolgogogirl

How do you vote?

I Keep thinking of a classic Donald Duck cartoon where a bear was cold for winter and took up residence in his cabin by pretending to be a rug. Since this is VMK and Disney, how do we know that the bear rug isn't a rug at all but just a bear taking a winter nap? Anyway, that's what I think so I am voting cute so that we may get sleeping bears for our own rooms.

I couldn't agree more:xmas16: :xmas16:

ya it's so cute... It's like a virtual teddy bear.

-coolgogogirl
Yeah! That's what it is! It's like a virtual teddy bear. As schmoofy said in another thread, it has a smile on its face. It's happy lol

What Disney attraction had to be changed in order to remain up and running?
WDW or DLR is it? And I totally agree with you

It would look good in my x-mas kind of room lol even though x-mas is way over..:D

I support the bear rug campaign! Voting cute, I am. ^_^

LOL its happy because it sees ppl! IDK im babbling here

How do you vote?
Read the news in news section of these forums or on front page of VMK home page

To Schmoofy I know for sure WDW and I am guessing DL too. I am a WDW person so I don't keep up with DL too much. But everyone try to guess. That is to lighten up the mood of all the intense arguing.

ah! Must escape from bear threads! ;)
LOL jk. The issue has gotten bigger than it should be. But opinions are always great to see:)

I'am pro- bear rug lol

So you can't get the shirt yet?

this cannot be Jungle cruise can it? (shoot the hippos) or is it Kilimanjaro Safari? (It had a extra prop that was around during Cast opening, that dissapeared by soft opening)

look, how about you just vote cute or boot in the game, and then after the votes are tallied you then voice your opinion why it should have been around or never been used..

I support the bear rugs, and will vote "Cute." I think they can easily settle this if yavn renamed "Bear Rug" to "Faux Bear Rug" as to ensure it's not a rug made of a "real virtual" bear. Now that was an oxymoron on my part lol

Lol Nedakh, I will be voting cute too.

LOL virtual real fur! Woot! now thats funny.
Yes, it was a oxy moron :)

Same here.

I think they look awesome. I'll vote..... "cute." :lol:

I love the bear rug! Long live the bear rug! Lol

its cute they should make like a log cabin room that would fit perfect in it.Its just adorable.And for the people who say boot sometimes they use dead bears for it.

ah! lol (too short )

Oops I already spammed their thread! Well once anyways........

Omg that is so cute I mean it's smiling and almost looks like a Stuffed bear... AWWWWW

Faux!! My favorite Word! just like I support my Faux Hawk! Anyways I am not sure if Cute is the correct word, because i don't think its Cute, but if that gets my support vote, then Yes Cute it is. My Main concern was people would take this Bear Rug as a Act against animals. We must all remember that Frontierland is a part of VMK. Its extremely Appropriate to see this Bear Rug, when thats what they in that time period Survived on. Hunting and Growing Crops. I understand the Cruelty part for this time periods society, but VMK is not advertising that, there showing us and helping us theme our rooms to the appropriate magic Kingdom park. thats all.

While you are both on the topic of real life debates AND the fine line between virtual and real, you may want to include something about Mr. Thompson in your post (the lawyer infamous for taking GTA: San Andreas off shelves... temporarily. Or something to that effect. Oh, and can someone check my speeling? lol)

On topic: Yes, I agree. Some (not all) people take VMK WAY TOO seriously. It's a game. Enjoy it. If you have a problem with it, stop playing. It's not like your paying for it anyway. And, may I ask, how are you sure said "influenced" kids know that it's a dead bear, anyway? The stereotypical dead bear would be a rotting corpse at that age, no? and for those who have breached that wall of child stereotypes, how are they supposed to go out and kill said bears, anyway? Do they give firearms permits to kids, even teens for that matter? I think not. And you say it influences them to do it in the future. Even IF they remember VMK 10-20 years from now, do you HONESTLY think they will wake up every day and say: "I'm going to go kill a bear because I have a dead bear in VMK!!!!" I didn't think they would. If you still have any doubt, I would like to use myself as an example. I have been playing video games since the age of five (Which, I assure you, is years upon years ago), and I have yet to kill a bear, cut someone's head off, assult a police officer, snipe civilians, get in bar fights, do death-defying stunts, etc. etc. (In real life, that is) On the contrary, in real life, I try to be a pacifist whenever possible.

Yeah, all those socratic seminars at school are going to my head XD

Yes, that bear is kind of cute. You just have to be sure not to place it near or around a Herbie couch.. it just reminds me too much of road kill then.
(check out schmoofy's posted photo) :poison:

I think the bear rug will have no problem getting approved. After all, who could resist that face? http://img527.**************/img527/2637/bearrug8ss.jpg (http://**************)

Yup,I would still love to see this lump of pixels added to my room though. MrL-You might want to organize the event on the forums,have just one thread for cute and one thread for boot,and maybe one for nuetral. Just a thought...

Will do you can actually help out, send me a PM of all the Cute Links and all the Boot Links, I'll merge them :) thx.

Hey if its an oppurtunity to get another piece or rare furniture and sell it for more of my beloved animal pins than i say "THAT IS THE CUTEST THING EVER" :)

Will do you can actually help out, send me a PM of all the Cute Links and all the Boot Links, I'll merge them :) thx.
Will do,give me 5 minutes to find them all...and nice sig too :) LOST pwns

If i may, maybe i could help too. I just dont understand what u are asking for O_o

Good idea but I actually intentionally avoided real life names and events. I kept the parents disagreeing with tv,movies, and video games bold for a reason. ;)

Ill vote cute

Ok so the attraction changed is in Adventureland. ;)

Well, I completely agree with that and dont understand how some people could be offended or physically impaired because of playing a certain video game. I think people look for a reason why others do stupid things and one of the things they think they can blame it on are video games. However, some video games have subliminal messages that can mess with you brain. But i dont think vmk is that type of game.

I think it would add a touch of coolness to the new Briar Room, like right in front of the fireplace.

I think it is Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse for some odd reason.

Nope lol closer to what the attraction is though like in how far away it is.

Is it POTC?

Is it POTC?


!!!!!!CORRECT WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!

Now next question and last:

Why was the attraction changed? For what reason did people find it offensive and in needing of change?
:xmas16:


P.S to mods this is still G rated don't worry. ;)

Is it POTC?
It is the only attraction left,lol. It has to be...Or is it Aladdin's flying carpets?

!!!!!!CORRECT WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!

Now next question and last:

Why was the attraction changed? For what reason did people find it offensive and in needing of change?
:xmas16:

Evil political correctness... Pirates chasing women, changed to women chasing pirates for many reasons, like pirate took her food, or stole something.. many things toned down, for a while "We wants the Red head" was almost muted... Even though the auction still happened

Same reason for so long the guns were missing from Jungle Cruise..

and why other stuff changed around the parks...

I don't know about the WDW attraction, but with the DLR one, they changed the part where the pirates were chasing the women. So now it's a woman chasing pirates who are stealing food. Political correctness at its greatest.

However, some video games have subliminal messages that can mess with you brain.

Yes, it is true that some video games have subliminal messaging (You hear that, Mr. Thompson? I ADMIT IT!!!... oh... sorry for that outbreak there...), but, contrary to popular belief, these messages have nothing to do with killing, violence, or doing anything stupid. In reality, these subliminal messages are either advertisement (for example, in Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, occasionally you will pass by a Burger King during a police pursuit), or complete nonsense (the most popular regarding the phrase "All Your Base Are Belong To Us"), or even abstract pictures. (Case in point: During the secret ending to Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix, titled "Another Side, Another Story [Deep Dive]", somewhere during the segment called "The Thirteen Points" the screen is covered in random shades of red for about 3-6 frames. Idk, I have to go count them again LOL.) So these messages are in no way harmful.

Correct and that is the EXACT answer I was looking for congrats figment! lol.

Ok with the whole video games infulence things i thinks that wrong becuase kids have a brain and and the ability to do something.If they chose the wrong path its not the video games fault.Anyway that my opnonion on this kind of matter.Also i have played shooting games and Madden but they dont make me wanna go shoot someone or become a football player.

Ah but you forget about games like grand theft auto or at least one of them.....That has a bad subliminal message. In fact that game is amost illegal.

I hate the P.C. I mean its a ride. Its what pirates did. Its not Boy Scouts of the Caribbean its PIRATES (the last statement was from X Antenico(sp))

They are the reason that they made Brer Rabbit stuck in honey not tar because of "racial" stuff or something like that

Ah but you forget about games like grand theft auto or at least one of them.....That has a bad subliminal message. In fact that game is amost illegal.
Ya buy if "You have your head on staright" then you could make the choice not react badly to what the game is about or doing.

Do you know what subliminal message means? It means even if you think right it will change the way your brain thinks not in everything but grand theft auto is one of them, but it does not affect everyone

So your saying the game is brainwashing kids to go kill people.

You seemed to have missed my witty remark about Mr. Thompson, the lawyer you seem to be siding with :P I jest, I jest.

Yes, if I am on the same page as you, you are talking about GTA: San Andreas' infamous "Hot Coffee" scene? That is not subliminal messaging. What it was (or is, my friend was lucky/unlucky enough to get his hands on the original and now illegal copy) is a minigame that was supposed to be cut from the final product. However, Rockstar Games being the lazy programmers they are (Again, I jest), they did NOT delete the minigame, only the path that led to it. So, later on, a group of hackers found the minigame and created a patch that allowed access to said minigame. I can go no further on this topic, or else mods will ban me for my post not being G-rated. But in no way does it involve killing or violence, just mature things. And only those with such devotion as to spend hours hacking the game may see it. Not anything most little kids can do (although I'm sure with so many forum members, there MUST be at least one child prodigy amongst the masses ;))

Do you know what subliminal message means? It means even if you think right it will change the way your brain thinks not in everything but grand theft auto is one of them, but it does not affect everyone

And no, that is not what it means. A subliminal message is a hidden message that the brain picks up, but does not conciously notice. In the words of wikipedia:
"A subliminal message is a signal or message designed to pass below the normal limits of perception. For example it might be inaudible to the conscious mind (but audible to the unconscious or deeper mind) or might be an image transmitted briefly and unperceived consciously and yet perceived unconsciously. In the everyday world, some have claimed that subliminal techniques are used in advertising and propaganda."

And in no way does it ACTUALLY change your way of thinking. Give it another few decades XD

I hate the P.C. I mean its a ride. Its what pirates did. Its not Boy Scouts of the Caribbean its PIRATES (the last statement was from X Antenico(sp))

They are the reason that they made Brer Rabbit stuck in honey not tar because of "racial" stuff or something like that
It is political correctness. Long time ago,the sons of liberty,as they were known,rounded up tax collectors and poured melted tar on tax collectors,then dumped feathers on them while the tar was still wet. Hot tar and feathers,then they were forced to walk through town ashamed of themselves. Rather good idea,then the British stepped in,all leads up to the American Revolution

Hahaha yeah that is exactly what I'm talking about thx LordIllidan :) And ElementSun in some ways it does brainwash kids but kids shouldnt be playing it!!!

Actually for a while Blockbuster was not allowed to rent it out anymore for like all this past summer and some stores were not even allowed to sell all versions of Grand Theft Auto (GTA)

Actually for a while Blockbuster was not allowed to rent it out anymore for like all this past summer and some stores were not even allowed to sell all versions of Grand Theft Auto (GTA)


Quoting myself never done that yet lol. But did you also notice there was the huge problem with every version before GTA III and then they came out with Vice City which was even worse in content? Now they even did the new one which is EVEN WORSE? I think it is funny that rockstar is just rubbing it in the people's faces. lol The content is terrible yes, but the game is still very fun none the less and does not make me want to go out and do the things I do in the game. I will never do any of that in real life and I hope no one else does or ever continues on doing it but it is life. Sad truth is until people learn that no one knows things for sure and we don't have to believe or agree on the same things there will always be war, there will always be crime, and there will always be a bad influence. That sounded deep wow I am following in Ghandi's footsteps lol. But seriously that is why are world is so messed up today because people don't see that.

Hahaha yeah that is exactly what I'm talking about thx LordIllidan :) And ElementSun in some ways it does brainwash kids but kids shouldnt be playing it!!!
I meant adults teens whatever my friend that is the same age as me plays it.But idt she is gonna shoot someone.

I made a little something for my dear bear...

As you can see, I edit my posts ALOT in debate threads. My train of thought must not be derailed!

EDIT: WOW that thread merge was disorentating LOL. I think I fell out of my speeding train of thought...

Exactly. I have to agree with you 1000%.

lol is 1000% even real?

Two things I LOVE LOST! When is a new episode coming out man? Last one took three weeks this one we are waiting for is taking even longer. AGGHHH!

And did you all notice there is even a happy face on the bear lol. He likes being a rug I guess. See how can you say boot he is happy. :xmas16:

Ok so people I have posted about this a bit and want to share in my own post my wonderful example. You say this rug is a bad influence because it might encourage children and/or people to hunt and make their own bear rugs in real life. There are two very funny things about this.

Thing #1:
There is actually an argument in real life that has been going on for quite sometime now and is going on currently. It is the issue with parents saying that tv, video games, and movies encourage kids to be violent and do things in real life they shouldn't or can't do. I just find it funny that VMK will now be added to it.

Thing #2:
So like I said a bit ago the argument here to put a stop to the bear rug is that it will encourage little kids to one day hunt bears and make their own bear rugs. So if you think about it this one potential item is the onlything encouraging. So to the people that are saying this why don't you think other things in the game encourage little kids to do stuff. I will use me as an example on what you are saying applying it to other items and games inside VMK.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Examples
Items:
Dancing Inferno Magic Pin: So doing this magic encourages me to light myself on fire and dance to impress people.

Fireworks Magic Pin: Doing this encourages me to shoot fireworks right above my head.

Snowman Magic Pin: This shows me that I need to surround myself with snow and make myself a snowman so I can freeze.

Native American Headdress: VMK shows me that I need to walk around in a Native American outfit which might offend people.

Games:
Pirates of the Carribean Game: This game lets me know that I should get in a boat and go blow things up.

Jungle Cruise Photo Safari: This shows me that I can get on a boat and take pictures of dangerous and wild animals whenever I want.
----------------------------------------------------------------

You all aren't offended by any of those but they are capable of sending a negative message as well so why aren't you concerned about these? I just don't see how you have an argument because you don't disagree with any of the stuff I just said. If those are allowed there why can't the bear rug? It is the exact same thing. You don't have to hunt to obtain the bear rug. I don't know what you do but you probably will just have to buy it. So I am playing a VIRTUAL GAME where I BUY a RUG. This doesn't teach me anything bad. Like my examples above I am playing a VIRTUAL GAME and wearing PINS or playing a GAME! Just read the capped out words. See that is what you are disagreeing about.


My Final thought on this rediculous issue is:
This is a GAME people. VIRTUAL Magic Kingdom (VMK). Here are two definitons of VIRTUAL by dictionary.com.

1) "Existing or resulting in essence or effect though not in actual fact, form, or name"
2) "Created, simulated, or carried on by means of a computer or computer network"

Look at the keywords in both of these definitions. IMAGINATION, NOT ACTUAL IN FACT,FORM, OR NAME, CREATED SIMULATED "BY MEANS OF A COMPUTER."

Also it is just a game people. You over analyze things too much and you think into things too much. I read the arguments and hear things people disagree with on the news and tv all the time and I just think it is hilarious. You and/or these people over analyze and think too much into all these things yet you/they miss the most important part. It is fake. You/they are so worried about children doing or saying these things. Very few children have actually done things they have seen in movies and in tv but you/they miss something important. You/they blame whatever you/they think the cause, but the reason the child did or does it is because he/she was not raised well enough to know it is wrong or he/she probably shouldn't do it. So I don't think anyone should be too afraid of this VIRTUAL item because it is in a GAME and is NOT REAL.

Thank you for listening to my argument everyone and anyone who is thinking of voting boot that has read this, I hope that you think of what I have said and tie it into your argument and find how you are thinking about literally NOTHING too much.

Hope you had a nice Holiday Time and have a Happy New Year!

Sidenote:
Here is a trivia question for anyone to see if they know. Disney actually I think two years or three years ago got in trouble for something because people thought it encouraged people to act a certain way in real life.

What Disney attraction had to be changed in order to remain up and running?

Please post replies on what you think of my post because I want to keep this up and running for everyone to see. I think it is a pretty stable and understandable argument that might change the way people think lol.

Best. Post. Ever.

You people need to listen to this guy! He knows his stuff. And personally, I think it looks really happy.. The bear is smiling for pete's sake!

Pfft Napthali fan club :) hahaha it was a good post :)

Vote cute for Napthali. xD

I hear ya Figment. Maybe we should see how it turns out first. Then again, it was like this in Toontwon when they held the first election. Anyhoo, I'm going to vote cute, because to me, there's not really a big fuss over it. I mean, it's virtual! If we treated them like real things, then we basically defeat the purpose of the game.

Anyhoo, I think the answer to the trivia question is the Hall of Presidents. I read that it had to be fixed before it could run properly in DisneyLand back when it was transfered from the world fair.

Two things I LOVE LOST! When is a new episode coming out man? Last one took three weeks this one we are waiting for is taking even longer. AGGHHH!

And did you all notice there is even a happy face on the bear lol. He likes being a rug I guess. See how can you say boot he is happy. :xmas16:

on topic- i agree he is smilling, maybe he wants people to vote for him..

I think we should have a vmk Debate team

gr bear rug is going to be popular i'll just buy one to trade it i think it's cruel even tho it's virtual it might get ppl to start wanting a real one, just my opinion

gr bear rug is going to be popular i'll just buy one to trade it i think it's cruel even tho it's virtual it might get ppl to start wanting a real one, just my opinion
this thread is for people who vote cute just to let ya know

gr bear rug is going to be popular i'll just buy one to trade it i think it's cruel even tho it's virtual it might get ppl to start wanting a real one, just my opinion

I respect your opinion, but i just want to tell you are kids trying to go out and buy bublling couldrens or hats with chickens on them?
Not to be mean just saying..

People are just mad because they don't believe in hunting or eating meat. It's a dull point.. I've never met a kid that is that impressionable.

Why can't we all just get along? -.-"

What Disney attraction had to be changed in order to remain up and running? btw OFF TOPIC: what is it? LOL


and on topic: this bear rules VOTE CUTE or DIE lol just like p.diddy LOL :P

igamma do u mind if i use ur ICON so i can promote to vote cute? LOL

btw OFF TOPIC: what is it? LOL


and on topic: this bear rules VOTE CUTE or DIE lol just like p.diddy LOL :P

igamma do u mind if i use ur ICON so i can promote to vote cute? LOL
LOL, I just found it so go ahead xD
I'm going to make a new one.

kool lol im going to edit it later so it looks all cool LOL

I dont know why people want to "boot" the bear rugs its a virtaul game after all really but hey thats just my opinion.
(ps how to you make a thread?)

There. xD

...

People are just mad because they don't believe in hunting or eating meat. It's a dull point.. I've never met a kid that is that impressionable.

Why can't we all just get along? -.-"

I myself do not belive in hunting OR eating meat. I myself am a vegetarian but i am fine with the rug because no bear was harmed in the making of this rug(it should say that on the tag of the bear LOL)

True that.
I got nothing against vegans or vegetarians.. Anything like that, so I think your mentality on this subject is very true.

iGamma that is too funny im using it as my icon :D

Well since the boot people have thier own thread(which got spammed by everyone,including me,I admit it)I think the people whom are voting cute need thier own thread. Go on,post your opinions

http://i13.****************/albums/a277/SoarinSoarin/BearRug.jpg
Its so cute <33
I think the fact it is smiling make is A OK.Even though there was a preivous post about this topic might want little kids when they grow up to kill a bear or animal.That is why you always keep your parents updated about what is going on in vmk if you are indeed a little kid,so if the family actually like hunting that is their problem but I highly doubt that if something is volient on VMK that parents would actually let their children play on it.



-HCL

Thanks Dxf, I just threw it together.
100th post in the thread :0

It is a fake bear. Its not like we have little 2 year olds playing vmk. There is no evidence of a vmk staff member saying "To make all these rugs we had to kill 800000 virtual bears".I say in favor as long as the bear is faux.lol.There are no virtual bears and we don't have little toddlers playing this game.This is not sending any messages to anyone about future carrers.Fur is sort of being illegal now.Most ppl are into prints and faux furs.I am supporting the bear rug and this won't be sending the message to some little kid in Wyoming to become a hunter.:xmas5: :xmas5: NOT:xmas5: A:xmas5: REAL:xmas5: BEAR!!:xmas5::xmas5:

-blue:xmas35: :xmas24: :xmas5:

I see the point in this. I honestly would vote 'cute' for others to get a running chance to get a new item. If I was against it, I'd still vote 'cute', to give others another chance at finishing their collections of some sorts, which involve bears, or rugs, but since I'd be against it, I wouldn't buy it, though, just vote for it for others.

Vote Cute!!! It's Not Going To Harm Anything And When I Vote Cute I Will Be Having All My Accounts Wearing Them So Come In And See For Yourself If I Can Keep Them All In 1 Room At The Same Time.... If This Causes Problem Than Thats There Fault They Should Have Just Released It Because Now This Will Cause Fights Even Though I Think "those" Certain Ppl Think That Virtual Bears Are Real??? That Has Me Puzzled How About You??? And It May Influence Ppl But How Many Ppl Will Be Influenced To Go Out And Get A Bear And Make It A Rug??? (sorry But I Dont Think Ppl Will See A Virtual Rug And Go Get Them Sleves There Own!

Reasons!
firstly, who said that bears are dumb? well their wrong! wayyyyy wrong!!!
I think vmk needs something like this, since some ppl cant get inferno or rare
stuff like quest junk..... well im all for it!! Well, for all those guests who have
no @_@clue@_@ on wut a bear rug is..its a virtual bear(notice i said virtual)

Plus, i was in a debate room, this person was debating on why it shouldnt be
there! they said "why would u want a bear in ur house?, get wut i mean?"
Well, its not real its fake for pete's sake......! Fake stuff should be allowed
on vmk..lol

Notice there is a thread up saying that "boot bear rug" Well, they obviously
went the wrong direction.......omg! we have a chicken hat! why cant we have a
bear rug!? i have lots of plans for these buds.....i love chicken hats(seagull etc.)
Well!! chicken hats(seagull etc.) are animals too, and we wear them our your
head, and use them! Aren't bear rugs animals? well, we can use them too....
If u say no...to bear rugs then ur saying no.... to animals!

These bear rugs are based on the movie: Country Bears! which i love!!
If...ur vegetarian, and u dont like dead animals, then u have like a big
excuse..I hope u choose "Cute To The Bears!"

So....if u say no...to bear rug then ur saying no...to animals(bird hat!)

Vote Bear If You Care?

Question: Do the bear rugs, have anything to do with Smokey Bear?LOL

I agree what's so bad about them good stating coolgogirl

Just wondering what are bear rugs?? LOL i have no idea what they are...
but VOTE for bear rugsbear are cute!!(well teddy bears are anyways)

http://i13.****************/albums/a277/SoarinSoarin/BearRug.jpg
This is a bear rug! Vote Cute!

Just wondering what are bear rugs?? LOL i have no idea what they are...
but VOTE for bear rugsbear are cute!!(well teddy bears are anyways)
They are rugs made out of bear skins, real or fake. In our case, we are talking about the virtual emulation of such an item in vmk. (meaning, we are talking about a virtual bear rug LOL. sorry, it is in my nature to use big words ;))

VOTE CUTE FOR BEAR RUG!

i will vote cute and if it wins the ones that vote boot do not have to buy it

i will vote cute and if it wins the ones that vote boot do not have to buy it
LOL kittykatz u have a point there

i vote cute!

i vote cute!
omg! im so happy, people are going in the right direction by voting cute!

i think the bear rugs are soo cute but..

It is kinda sad when you think about it because in real life they die and it kinda sets off a bad example for little kids but im still going to vote cute!

Vote "Yes" on propesition i mean the bear rug!

i saw some posts of ppl agaisnt the rug say it is cruel for animal killing, etc..



THIS IS A VIRTUAL ( NOT REAL LIFE ) INTERACTIVE GAME!!!


what did we go behind splash mountain and kill the briar bear or w/e ????





common sense plz




also, we need actual frontierland furniture, besides rivers ( which doesnt really considerer being frontier furniture )

i think besides the shirts, we should make rooms like this and say stuff to everybody everywhere ( especially guests )


also, i thought of something "cute" for us to put in our signatures:


" cute the bear, say it everywhere!"




lol

This just feels great, we have control to determine an items future. We had no contorl with beta and green flips, holiday decorations, ( yes, I am still the only person that wants halloween main street back), changed games in late august, and much more. This is probably the first shown type of a democratic VMK society.

Well back on topic, I think the bear rugs should be sold, or voted "cute". This is only a virtual game and needs to be taken that way. The wild frontier was famous (or infamous, depending on who you are) for hunting in the mountains of Montana and Oregon. VMK just wants to bring that old west feeling to us. Pirates of the Carribean people are getting fired at, blowing up fireworks, getting up close and personal with wild animals, these are all seen in VMK. Even in haunted mansion, knights weilding axes at the end of a level attack the ghost chasers, and if caught they go poof. These are all considered violent and/or hazardous tasks to perform, but not one person has conplained. Most people complain how they did not sink enough ships to win! Why should the bear rug be any different? Even in frontierland, there has never been a bear shown! Look far and wide, you will never see a bear there. Most likely, VMK will put faux, or fake, before bear rug if it comes out. This can either be a contrivestial matter, or a simple end it matter. People should not care if this item is released, for they don't have to buy it. No item is required to buy, except for one pair of shoes, pants, and a shirt. I feel that this will be great addition to VMK. Plus, i really need it for my room.

TRIVIA: Another case of political correctness, which dinsey film was never released to home vidoe, but it's characters are featured in a ride at Disneyland and Disneyworld?

I say CUTE!

Examples
Items:
Dancing Inferno Magic Pin: So doing this magic encourages me to light myself on fire and dance to impress people.

Fireworks Magic Pin: Doing this encourages me to shoot fireworks right above my head.

Snowman Magic Pin: This shows me that I need to surround myself with snow and make myself a snowman so I can freeze.

Native American Headdress: VMK shows me that I need to walk around in a Native American outfit which might offend people.

Games:
Pirates of the Carribean Game: This game lets me know that I should get in a boat and go blow things up.

Jungle Cruise Photo Safari: This shows me that I can get on a boat and take pictures of dangerous and wild animals whenever I want.


NOW, are you really going to go out and do those things? I don't think so!

If you don't want Bear rugs, just don't use them! Don't make it so others, the ones who want them, can't have them. Just don't use them if you don't think its right.

If given a choice between human rugs or no human rugs what would the bears do?

This is one of the fringe benefits of being at the top of the food chain! Bear rugs for all!!!

cute is the right way to go!!

im kinda torn on this one , i think be haveing some cute bear killed and used as a rug its not that cool, but if they used a bear with his teeth showing that looked really mean, that would be like a big prize to use as a rug, kinda like the one in beauty and the beast. so i like the bear rug idea but not sure if it should look like a teddy bear:xmas30:

Did anyone else notice the bear is smiling at you?
Creepy..

My two cents on the bear rug...

1. In real life you have a choice to buy things like that. you also have a choice in a VIRTUAL game.

2. Its completely virtual. You know how in movies in the end credits they say no animals were harmed in the making of this film? NO REAL ANIMALS WILL BE HARMED BY THE BEAR RUG!

3. It goes well with Frontierland. Its the spirit of the gun smokin' american west.

4. Im sure if you sent in a suggestion to VMK they would change the name to Faux Bear rug. Thus, no animal activists harmed.

5. If you look at the picture it looks more like a teddy bear than a real bear.

Yeah Plus, the Bear is on the California flag! And Disney Land is in California so I say Cute! VIVA LA Bear Rug!!

I vote cute!! because some people might want it and some ppl dont..so why cant we just vote yes or cute to the bear for the ppl who wants it and dont and if we get it the bear lovers can buy it when the others dont...

say cute everyone. Just like some people say yes but killing a bear is wrong. Well to those people, it is pixels and you have to realize it is a virtual game. If you can't accept that, just think that it is faux.

My two cents on the bear rug...

1. In real life you have a choice to buy things like that. you also have a choice in a VIRTUAL game.

2. Its completely virtual. You know how in movies in the end credits they say no animals were harmed in the making of this film? NO REAL ANIMALS WILL BE HARMED BY THE BEAR RUG!

4. Im sure if you sent in a suggestion to VMK they would change the name to Faux Bear rug. Thus, no animal activists harmed.

5. If you look at the picture it looks more like a teddy bear than a real bear. i totally agree 100% It does look like a teddy bear too. :)

ok listen before you vote BOOT. it is only virtual. nothing is wrong with it and no bears got harmed in the making of the rug. if you think it looks weird or because VMK is "killing" animals and that is why you are voting BOOT. why? VMK didn't kill animals...it is a pixelized item on the computer!!if it looks weird, don't BOOT it,don't vote! those of you who are voting BOOT are just ruining it for the ppl who really want this rug(like me ). if you don't want it, don't buy it. at least let the ppl who want it enjoy it. this is just my opinion on how things should be and what is going on.

Well since the boot people have thier own thread(which got spammed by everyone,including me,I admit it)I think the people whom are voting cute need thier own thread. Go on,post your opinions

http://i13.****************/albums/a277/SoarinSoarin/BearRug.jpg
Its so cute <33


0MG 0MG 0MG!! The bear looks sooooo cute. I am against killing animals for hunting or w.e basically pleasure but come on its pixels!! they arent really killing any bears... I <3 bears...and lions...and tigers....camels...sea lions...yeah thats about it. but yeah they arent really killing bears.. kids should have common sense about that.

http://i13.****************/albums/a277/SoarinSoarin/BearRug.jpg
It looks so cute! Just like a little teddy bear just taking a nap

and hey! the bear is smiling, it must be happy.... :)

-coolgogogirl

:D:) Vote cute!! :d:).

8325

it is called Virtual Magic Kindom . VIRTUAL. which means virtual items ect.. this bear rug is jus t a pixel. it is not like someone shot the bear, and used it as a rug. these are not real bears. plus look at it's little smile! how cute. i also agree that it is just a sleeping bear :)

Vote Cute :)

Ok, I just got on and voted cute so now you have Shogg on your side. Woot Woot! :woohoo: And it looks like the "Cute" people are winning but you never know.

~Q/S

i voted cute. hooray for bear rugs. also, for those who don't like the bear rugs, here's what i think:

here's what i think. i personally think this is ok because:

-it's not a real bear
-just because it's there doesn't mean the vmk players are all of a sudden gonna go out and kill bears
-if you don't like it, don't buy it
-adds another pretty neat item to vmk
-no real bears whatsoever were harmed in the process

. . . may not be hurt but someone sure musta shot your SHIFT key, Appleson! It's much easier to read things if you use capital letters. Anyway, I think the bear rug is very cute, even though I haven't seen it yet. Where is it?

By the way, wouldn't it make more sense to make this a "POLL" type thread? Much easier to keep track of opinions.

Go bear rugs! They are just so cute, and I got some reasons to why it's ok:

1. You can't really go hunt a bear at mostly everyone's age on VMK (estimated age 8-14 years old).

2. The bear smiles!!

3. Staff are accepting it, so why hold a grudge over them?

4. Everyone has been complaining for new items to come out. Well, here's an item!

just let the bear thing go
it is going to be in vmk wether u like it or not
so deal
u dont have to buy it ( i am sure it will be a rare item )
dont look at it if u dont like it



the many reasons why the bear is in vmk so care cute cute cute

disney is going nuts about bears...bears in tt, bears in this game...there going nuts..i'm going nuts

vote cute everyone if you vote boot look here http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=391688&posted=1#post391688 at my post at the bottom cute ppl can look too and anyway it is just pixels nobody did anything if you vote boot take off that shirt and don't vote when it comes out don't buy it just let other ppl buy it when it's finally sold out will you be happy i guess yes since you say boot and if you go to a room with a bear rug don' go back in that room just let them enjoy it also just go to rooms without them don't boot them from vmk make ppl who vote boot go in your room without bear rug and like i said in the other post go look and see then read this(unless you already read it): ppl could do wat i said in the other post in rl just don't boot them it is ruining other ppl who vote cute just like i said if you don't like it don't buy it and don't vote don't ruin it for other ppl that is sad for them just don't this is how you vote vote cute or no vote this is plz ruining it for others might make them never come to vmk again i know you don't want that so don't make that happen(this post made me cry in rl after reading it)

. . . that last one takes the prize for being the all time hardest to read! I'm impressed! (Sorry, off topic I know, but I think the topic got blown away a long time ago anyway.)

yeah i vote cute but it aint cute its cool

yeahaaa reppin da dirty south(so off topice but im bored)

I like virtual teddy bears. LOL :)

some ppl vote on it because its cute but if it wasnt they would vote boot .. now thats just wrong

i think that this thread is the best one yet . i also think that people should remember that this is just a game ! and nothing in this game is getting harmed in any way . people should really think before they vote boot on the bear rug , i mean its cute and does not mean to have any relation to any dead or killed bear what so ever ! people should just relax . this is VMK and i am sure that the people who created VMK wanted this to be a fun place where everybody could come to have fun and not be offended at all , so i am also sure that they did not want this bear rug booted seeing as how they made it so cute
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
hey look i made my own my signature
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
any way plz be sensible and vote this cute little bear rug CUTE . i do not mean to offend anybody or make anyone upset , but plz just think before u vote BOOT !

any way plz be sensible and vote this cute little bear rug CUTE
thx for making my point
