Playmobil Re-Enactments: Paddington al Dubhe
"Our government creates such problems to divert the eyes of the world community from our domestic problems,” Ms. Hussein said. “I am sure that the case of the British teacher is politically motivated and has got nothing to do with our prophet.”

I've probably said it a thousand times, when in doubt, name your Teddy Bear "Yahweh".

Should "Teddy bear" be capitalized? It's not really a proper noun, is it?
Regardless of whether or not that is actually a crime, it is for sure, "inciting hatred and showing contempt for [my] grammar beliefs."
Sentence: 15 minutes in the corner with the AP Stylebook.

To Brad Zimmerman:
Teddy is a first name, Theodore, because the things are named after Teddy Roosevelt. Presumably you could not capitalize it by saying that it has simply become a descriptive adjective or capitalize it on the grounds that it is a first name and thus a proper noun. "Bear" shouldn't be capitalized, though.

Paul: I understand your argument, but I disagree with it. I don't think we ought to be capitalizing the "Teddy" in teddy bear for the same reason we shouldn't be capitalizing "Internet". It's just sort of evolved too far to really think of it in the proper noun sense. In my opinion, anyway.
If you still disagree with me, I know some RCMP's that will use non-lethal* force on you to get you to agree. :)
* Probably.
