    He's well chuft about getting one.

    Anyway, i think they're just plain ugly. If i got one i would probably think i was getting punished for something.

    I think it's just wrong. First, I'd freak and throw it if it were my present, and then I'd get all attached... Only to know the exact day it would die.

    I don't like the idea.

    And why must they be so ugly? And never grow?

    It's probably more expensive than a real pet and I would rather get a real pet.

    I think bonzai kittens were worse on the grotesque level though. Maybe...

    True... I think. When I heard of the bonzai cats, I didn't even go to the site. I'm too much of a cat lover.

    So it is fake. Well i have to admit they did a pretty good job deceiving people. Anyway, maybe one day we'll see a kind of genetic pet. I hope no.

    Sure. Why would anyone buy this thing instead of a real animal? I know i wouldn't.

    We already have genetically altered pets; they're called mixed breeds.

    Not like this. I mean like articial selection. As in, pick the largest dog you can find. Breed it with another large dog. Choose the largest dog out of that litter and mate it with another large dog. Complete the process for a decade or so, and you have... GIANT DOGS FOR MY ARMY! MWAHAHAHAHA!

    The main artist/designer, Adam Brandejs, made them the way they look because it proved that no matter how appalled you were at this, you were still curious about it.

    "...Think about why it is that you probably, like most people seeing the work, find it highly disturbing on some level, and yet, still want to buy one. Why is it that you’re so inclined to buy things, no matter what? And what is it that makes this concept so disturbing, or not disturbing to you? Consider both sides of the issue, and consider how we treat animals in farms, and pet stores today. How does that relate?"

    Oh, Good God...-.-

    And I find out that's it's fake AFTER I tell my family and have them looking at me like absolutely insane. They're all "sounds like a conservative group pulling a prank on society."

    Grr, biznitches...

    After finally managing to enter the page I just couldn't help but thing why?
    Who'd want an ugly humanoid-pet that can hardly move around anyway? The entire consept is just insane and stinks "fake" all over it.

    Yes, but apparently most of us are extremely gullible. I had my doubts, sure, but still...I think I ought to be more careful in the future.

    Too bad...I thought the technology would help the world.
