The study, commissioned by stuffed animal maker Build-A-Bear

About as credible as an Al Gore survey of climate scientists.

The annoying part is that fraudulent polls like these have been part of the media landscape forever. Auto makers 'commission' (read: concoct) a poll that says people prefer driving to walking, etc.

The media's longstanding desperation to fill column inches has made the Appeal To Majority fallacy an everyday occurrence.
