Possibly the fact that an inanimate object is seemingly coming to life. Something like that could deffenitely by a contributing factor. There are a number of stories out there of items being "posessed", and maybe it frightens certain people who can't quite grasp the reality that a puppet is...

Honestly, I'd put the Skrumps in that group. But I like all that stuff, so...
Jim also carried a bag around with him frequently. Sort of an over-sized purse for men. I always wondered if he would carry a single puppet along in it.
... Nice. ;)
Yeah, we all like to tease around here, in case you didn't notice by now. :D However, I'm sure no one has ever meant for it to be real offensive.
