I never understood why there was so much controversy 9over bring vs take. The rule is simple and unequivocal. Bring means to move someone or something toward the speaker, take means to move the object away.

My latest pet peeve is introduce, as in someone standing there on television "Let me introduce you to the next President of the United States." ARGH, as James J. Kilpatrick is wont to say, "Let me introduce to you the ext President of the United States."
