Just to clarify.  I wasn't suggesting that there would be explicit sexual
content just content that is sexual in nature and on a site dedicated to a
childs toy it would be inappropriate.  I am not trying to vilify Teddy or his

better served elsewhere.  We may be a community of mainly adults but there are
kids among us and I think it would be wise to keep that in mind.
