Once they’re impervious to fire, they’ll be no stopping the polar bears from ruling the world.

Lord knows it's keeping me up nights. :)

I'm happy for the polar bears if they no longer have to live their lives in fear of spontaneous combustion.

Exactly {evil laugh}.

The stupid scientists don't realize that the polar bears sneak in at night and lick their computers for the flame retardant. Why, sometimes they chew the computers, and the maroons still don't catch on. Only thing they catch on is fire.

Terrific headline, perhaps not intended as such.

Bonus.

The environmental group WWF called for a ban on deca-BDE, even though it said little was known about its toxicity.

The other "WWF"(now WWE) was more intelligent. "Oh it's true! It's damn true!"

I want to know...

How many people wearing fire retardent clothing did the bears EAT before the chemicals began to accumilate?

The gulls? They're carrion birds also.

A new and exciting use for polar bears!  I wonder how many of them you'd have to grind up to insulate a 2400 square foot house?

Of course, the WWF feels that if humans were to die in a fire because they didn't use the flame retardant in their home that would be okay as long as we didn't find a trace of it polar bears.

Yes, but will this flame retardant in any way effct the required cooking time for the Arctic birds or polar bears?

Wouldn't it be easier to teach the Bears and the Gulls not to eat garbage at the dump sites?

We'll see who's laughing once mean Republicans melt the polar ice caps. Being flame retardant won't help the polar bears tread water.

Does this make their hides more valuable as area rugs? If I were in the market for a polar bear rug, I would insist on one of the newer models.
