But it does. Bleurgh.

Even looking at the one without the head, it is creepy.
Maybe it is the fact that this isn't just the skin, but the claws, and more importantly, the general structure of the bear, that you can see. It isn't a chair covered in animal skin, it's an animal that has been made into a chair.
Perhaps it is that it looks like a really weird, headless, six-legged animal with big claws.
Matter of fact, I think it looks like it's about to walk off. I'm sure Seth would club it some if it tried to.

I find it has a strange attractiveness. It makes some kind of wild-man throne. I kind of want to sit in it, but I'd feel bad for the bears involved.
