This trailer for the upcoming Naughty Bear video game is disturbingly frightening, showing a psychotic bear (dubbed 'Naughty Bear') slaughtering all the other fun-loving bears because he wasn't invited to their party. If something like this happened every time someone wasn't invited to a party, the world would be a very frightening place.
This take on cutesy little teddy bears is sort of funny when you think about the fact that it's a stuffed animal on a murderous rampage. The Naughty Bear video game uses cotton as the replacement for blood and guts, and accurately so.
