Something Ickky This Way Comes

Psssstttt.....Hey you......yeah you.......wanna buy a geneticlly engineered pet? I've got 'em real cheap.

Hi again. It's your host, Wookie Boy, back with another dose of wierdness.

Yep, I've found a site that purports to sell genectically engineered pets.

No lie!

Check it out:

Scary, huh?

Fortunatly, it's not real.

Snopes.com comes through again! Those chihuahua wanna-bes are actually foam latex sculptures with little motors inside to make them look alive.

From what I gather, the artist was trying to make a point on the way we're heading with the whole genetic manipulation idea. I hate to say it, but he does have a point.

There are thousands of cats, dogs, rabbits, and other animals that are put down every year due to a lack of people willing to adopt them. Why waste resources on artifical life when there are so many cuter animals already in need of homes?

Also, why in crap's name would anyone want one anyone want one of those ugly little bloated sacks of protoplasm? They're ugly as sin, creapy as that wierd uncle, and they make that epileptic siezure inducing lightning rat named Pikachu seem cuddly. The things make me want to hurl chuncks.

See you next time,
