This singing teddy bear is a perfect birthday gift for both friends and enemies if you're looking to annoy them on their special day.
The 'Annoying Teddy' was invented by Cornelius Malcolm Wilson as a prank gift that is both simple and diabolical in its approach. This plush teddy bear appears harmless, but when activated will start to sing "Happy Birthday" continuously and non-stop. There is no off switch, so the only way to make this singing teddy bear actually stop is to wait for its battery to die or to destroy it.
The battery has been tested to last for over three hours at a time once activated, and Wilson is also currently fundraising on Kickstarter in an attempt to build 50,000 of these talkative toy teddy bears.
