Ten Original Care Bear Symbols

Outrage Over Atheists' 9/11 Cross Suit

MONICA CROWLEY, CO-HOST:  OK. Welcome back to "The Five."

So, Bolling, you wanted to follow up, clarify something you said earlier?

ERIC BOLLING, CO-HOST:  Yes. In our last discussion about immigration, Bob had mentioned something about do you think everyone is out there illegal mowing lawns. I didn't say they're illegal -- everyone is illegal --

BOB BECKEL, CO-HOST:  I know you didn't. And you know what?

BOLLING:  I simply meant to say there's a big group of cash -- there's a cash black market business going on.

BECKEL:  It was me trying to catch you, and I did.

(LAUGHTER)

BECKEL:  I know exactly what you meant.

GREG GUTFELD, CO-HOST:  You're a bad man, Bob.

BECKEL:  No, no. I just thought, well, I'm outnumbered. So, I apologize, too.

CROWLEY:  Let's share the love. That was beautiful.

OK. Let's go to what I think is a particularly horrifying story that came out this week. A group of atheists accurately called American Atheists have decided to sue New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, as well as the states of New Jersey and the city of New York, over this ground zero cross.

Now, this cross was found literally within 24, 36 hours after the attacks on 9/11. It's two pieces of the beam of one of the World Trade Center towers. There you can see it. Perfectly-shaped cross -- and it's stood on the site of ground zero for the last 10 years.

Well, this group, American Atheists, is now suing to prevent this cross from being displayed at the 9/11 memorial.

Bolling, you were there on 9/11, at ground zero, working on Wall Street. Your thoughts?

BOLLING:  No, I watched the second plane flying to the tower. I saw the towers come down. I saw friends, I saw people -- I saw people jumping out of windows. It was a horrible scene.

But I did also see -- I saw George Bush get up on the wreckage and say, they'll hear you, they'll hear you loud and clear. The people who took down these buildings will hear you loud and clear.

When that cross emerged, it was kind of like the symbol of hope. And that whole area was devastated. And then we saw that. And it was like, there's hope. Someone is going to look down and take care of this area.

Care Bears to return as computer-generated autobots in animated TV ...

Movie , out later this year, stuck with the classic look, and I don’t think the effect of the lovable honey-addict on a new generation of kids will be diminished because he’s in 2-D. At least, I hope not.

Of course, the idea for computerizing the Care Bears is nothing new. They were first depicted in CGI in 2004′s Care Bears: Journey to Joke-a-Lot . The result was terrifying . I didn’t want to hug them anymore; I wanted to run and hide because their soulless eyes promised nothing if not my untimely murder. They took the care out of the Care Bears! If this TV reboot is truly a way to mark the franchise’s 30th anniversary, as reported, wouldn’t the best method be to honor the original bears? The ones with the warm, beady eyes, quirky expressions, and small tufts of fur sticking out everywhere?
