If this isn’t to your taste, how about these?

Animal and cute toy lovers look away now.

First came the toys which turned venereal diseases and parasites into the cutest of soft toys, now prepare for road kill toys.

A toy designer has come up with a gory end for teddy bears and other cuddly animal toys.

The first to be launched is Twitch, the Roadkill Teddy, which comes complete with opaque plastic body bag to keep the maggots out and attached to its twitching toe is an identity bag giving details of its demise.

Damnit, I bet everyone is thinking of getting these for presents now.

Boo want!

I really like how that put that UNDER the huge picture of the roadkill stuffed animal at the very top of the article.

Magic! They’re great but I’m sure I saw things like these in the States years ago. A teddy tied to a chair (Resevoir Dogs style), a deer dressed as a hunter and a road-killed cat, complete with tyre marks I saw in this shop window.

Probably a different company but it’s a universally good idea.

We do generally come up with good things first and then they are copied.

Except electric light.

In a usable form, I believe we did.

Actually, NEO, electrical lights were fairly common before our Edison got to banging his head on the table about it. He was like Ford: he found a way to make them *cheap*. Carbon arc lamps were very popular as spotlights and other filament-type lights were also in use, but burned out after only a few days. Main trick was making them cheaper than the gas lighting systems that were already in just about every city by then.

The expression on that animal is just priceless.

As I said in a usable form, meaning affordable and available to the masses, but this is way off topic and pointless, so I concede the point for the threads sake.
