Don't feed the bears!

There are some unhappy bears out there, and we're not talking about Yogi and Boo Boo.

Late night comedian Conan O'Brien was interviewing non-gay but gay-acting Adam Sandler, when talk turned to Sandler's new movie, "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry," and a requisite clip was shown from the film.

But the joke was on us. The clip was actually from CyberBears.com's "Feed The Bears," showing actors Joe Falconi and Ali sensually eating an apple. The issue: the video was used without permission, and did not include any attribution to the company. Grrrrrrr!

Note: these images are from the cyberbears.com website.

"All of our DVDs clearly indicate that they are only licensed and sold for in-home viewing by consenting adults," argued a CyberBears rep. "The notion of broadcasting a portion of one of our adult movies over open network television violates the spirit of the legal and ethical guidelines our company follows to shield our content from inappropriate viewers."

Men eating apples is, indeed, not suitable for a late night audience.
