People are suckers when it comes to the cute.
Turning anything into a stuffed animal with googly eyes makes it an instant sensation.
You wouldn’t think to use a cow patty as a pillow…but create a stuffed, plush version with a cute smile and detachable fly and GOOD GOD, get out of the way…
People want their crap, and they want it NOW.
Peeandpoo.com caters to the need to cuddle up to your very own turd or urine droplet.
I’m not completely innocent when it comes to ridiculous plush toys, though.
I don’t need more crap in my life and I’d like to maintain SOME integrity, so a plush poopie isn’t something I’d ever purchase (for myself).
A giant, cuddly microbe, on the hand, I’m not as embarrassed to own. I carry an Ebola virus to work every day, and Sleeping Sickness keeps me happy at night. Not surprisingly, the clap is all the rage in certain circles. You can even buy a whole petri dish full of the fuzzy, lovebugs.
Stuffed toys date back to the early 1800’s where cloth was filled with straw and sewn together to look like a rudimentary doll…stuffed animals came along afterwards, of which the most infamous was the plush bear.
We’ve come a long way since then, stuffing everything from velvet hams and steaks to bloody hearts and bladders made of felt.
There’s nothing out there that can’t get made into a stuffed toy…and the weirder, the better!
I can’t say that I’m disappointed with the awesome variety of plush organs and meats out there.
It’s just nice to know that people finally approve of snuggling up next to a big, ham-hock at the end of a long day…and $25.95 is a price I can live with for that privilege.
