Giant microbes

Have you guys seen these things? I find them to be really disturbing, on so many levels. Is it just me, or are these pretty weird? If you go to the website, you can see a best sellers list, which includes things like 'bed bug', 'fat cell', and 'mad cow'. They even have one called 'sniffles' that has sound as well! I don't know about you guys, but I have enough sniffles in my own house without having a stuffed critter that imitates the noise. So, if you get me one of these, like 'mrsa' or 'flu' or any of the others, I'm going to assume you either hate me, or think you're really funny. I guess if it happens, I'll have to determine which it is!! But either way, I'll most likely return the favor and give you 'bed bugs'!!

I have not seen these. I am disturbed. Is one really Staph? I guess it is trying to educate kids about these things???? odd. I must say. odd.

I think you could educate kids better if they weren't cute and fuzzy. Germs and Microbes are not cute. This is a little odd.

I noticed the sign behind the little monsters says "collect them all"! Isn't that exactly the opposite of what we are trying to teach our children? How can this become more bizarre? Offer these as prizes for school fund raisers or put out a new line of STD germs! This is extremely disturbing! I'm sure the creeps are made in *****.
