The Bad Habit Bears

Wasn't that the name of a movie once? With Tatum O'Neal as a baseball playing nun? Well, it should have been.  Anyway, in a sure sign of the animals getting overconfident in their uprising. Some of their shock troops are developing bad habits. Yes, the bears are developing bad habits. And we're not talking about raiding homes for granola or stealing beer and pizza. No, this is serious.

They're gambling.

STATELINE, Nev. - A Lake Tahoe casino that promotes a "habitat for everything wild" found truth in advertising over the weekend when a wayward bear wandered in through a rear loading dock.

The 150 pound yearling walked around employee hallways at MontBleu Resort Casino and Spa early Saturday and sauntered toward a cafeteria before it scurried out the way it came in, apparently frightened off by several workers, employee Earl Zeller told the Tahoe Daily Tribune.

In one MontBleu television commercial, a cocktail waitress walks past urban-dressed guests in lounge, then throws a fresh fish to a waiting bear.

"Evidently the bears out there heard the story that bears can be fed at the nightclub at MontBleu," Zeller quipped. "I guess we reached our target audience."

And the damn fools are encouraging this behavior with television commercials! What is wrong with you people? Don't you understand how this kind of behavior will bring even worse if it's not nipped in the bud. Just wait until a bear starts hanging around the lounge hitting on waitresses. You'll see.
