In this day and age when teachers have been prosecuted for inappropriate behavior, one teacher is apparently striking back at students. A math teacher in Indiana, Daniel Clevenger, is reportedly suing a group of students who made a film of an evil teddy bear. The four boys, all aged 16, made 'The Teddy Bear Master' a film in which a teddy bear was trying to harass and kill a teacher named Mr. Clevenger. The toys' leader, The Teddy Bear Master, orders a Sopranos' like hit of the teacher for embarrassing him. In the film, some students fight back and try to save their teacher - but the would be heros are unsuccessful in the 78-minute film. The four Knightstown Intermediate School students have been named as Isaac Imel, Harrison Null, Charlie Ours and Cody Overbay. Their parents are also sued. (If nothing else, what an innovative way to get publicity for a film!)

Teacher Lawsuit Strikes Back at Pupils

Glad I subscribe to your blog, LOL, gives me a chance to post first. How could a cutie like this teddy kill someone? Now, a beautiful woman in a teddy may give a heart attack to a man, but I can's imagine this one doing much.

Good point LP:
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the teacher is in on the movie deal...great publicity. I can see this story on cable news soon...
I don't know how you do it, but you often scoop the big media outlets. Good job.

Seems like a great gig... Enraged teacher generates publicity, settles case for a percentage of the movie deal... Scream 6!
ReplyDeleteI don't know, the larger teddy bear looks a bit threatening. Is he borrowing lindsay lohan's knife and putting it behind the smaller teddy's back?
ReplyDeleteJules
Yeah, I bet the poor teacher has nightmares... so much time thinking what he is going to do with all the money from the book and movie rights is enough to get to anyone...
ReplyDeleteBillie
That teddy bear might have hugged him to death
ReplyDeleteNope, I think the big chicken was really scared. LOL
ReplyDeleteI think you will see someday that it was all about the money.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the little bears you customize at those little shops at the mall...
ReplyDeleteI am a football fan. My bet is that the Bears win this one against the teacher...
ReplyDeleteWho could possibly be traumatized by a little teddy bear???
teachers get a bad rep from these type of lawsuits too.
ReplyDeleteteacher just wants to cash in like every other money hungry plaintiff in America...
