For heaven's sake, is this The Berlin Zoo Hollerer?

Reuters reports that stuffed polar bear toys were the highlight of recent US-EU talks. (Not that hard to believe, actually.) My favorite quote: "For the remainder of the news conference the participants played with their fist-sized presents and lost interest in telling reporters about the negotiations."

Trade negotiations are ardous and soul-crushing experiences. Even without a cute cuddly stuffed bear, who really wants to talk about it with reporters?
