ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 freaky, my lady is a huge cat lover, but i doubt she'd even be into these. Glad too, or i'd worry. Imagine your looking at it, and the it's eyes open... spooky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddsun1 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) What The FOOK?!?!?!? Is this for REAL? "That's right, Genpets are not toys or robots. They are living, breathing genetic animals." Creepy ain't the word for this sh*t...

ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) They can do-create anything these days it seems, yesterday i saw on the news some german guy had a farming accident and lost both his arms, and he had the first full arm transplant done ever, the donor was a recently deceased 18 year old boy, although the farmer won't be able to use the hands for another 2 years or something like that... but... f'n wow.

eriku Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 The joke would be more funny and interesting if there was some variation on the GenPets they show, like one with it's eyes open or one out of the package looking alive. As it is, the site is well crafted but teh product is too obviously phony looking to be very funny. Bonsai Kitty was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, not the first. IIRC, some teenager in the mid-west suffered a similar accident--got his arms torn off by a hay bailer or something like that. I remember the news clip saying something to the effect of how the poor kid had to stagger back to the house, open the door with his mouth, dial 911 with his nose...

Don't know what's worse though--the genpets vids, or the "deformed babies" videos that seem to be linked to them... Jeezus, you can only watch so much of that stuff before it starts to really bake your noodle... --ed: mea culpa on the first part; that wasn't a transplant case--that kid actually had his own arms reattached...

They say he had to have therapy beforehand to get used to the fact he had somone else's hands... lol what a mind trip. Imgaine whacking off, you'd be like,.... riiiight. Maybe that;'s what the say when you sit on your hands long enough you can't feel them and then you can... u know. hahahahahahahha this thread .... rofl.

reddsun1 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'll be the first to say I don't mind being duped on this one. The prospect of these, things being real is a bit bothersome--as the Captain said "on a couple o' different levels..." My initial reaction was: that's an awful lot of trouble to go to just for a hoax. But then again, people probably said the same sort of thing--and a lot worse--way back in '38, when some kook by the name of Wells went to all that expense and effort, just to put on a radio show about "men from mars" and such.
