Miley Cyrus Mistreated Stuffed Bears At 2013 VMAs, But She's Not the Only One
At the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night, Miley Cyrus stripped herself of her adolescence. Not only by actually stripping in front of the studio and TV audiences, but also by sexualizing a favorite childhood toy: The teddy bear. Sure, you might never be able to look at your old Teddy Ruxpin the same way again, but Cyrus is simply following in Hollywood's footsteps. Here, see five other stuffed bears that have been criminally mistreated in pop culture. If you can bear it.

Ted, 'Ted'
Before Cyrus was humping bears, Seth MacFarlane's talking teddy bear was humping cash registers. That is, when he wasn't (somehow) having explicit sex with co-workers. We know, it makes no sense: How could a teddy bear get a job? Image: Universal
Pink Bear, 'Breaking Bad'

Lotso, 'Toy Story 3'
Sure, Lotso might have been Toy Story 3's big bad, but wouldn't you be too if you were tossed aside and strapped to a garbage truck? Image: Pixar
Boobytrapped Bear, 'Cape Fear'
Plush toys do not make good allies in homicidal plots. Image: Universal
Wilfred's Bear, 'Wilfred'
Well, now we know where Miley gets all of her ideas. Image: FX
