Cuddle-worthy or Barftastic? You be the judge...

My best friend and I like to send each other gross and creepy things we come across on the internet...which you know, there is an ENDLESS supply of.  She sent me a link to this site today and I just had to share, cause I'm nice like that.  You can thank me later.  :)

Nobody can resist a cuddly teddy bear, right?  Look at this little guy...



You're probably wondering...but why is he in a jar?  Well, that's because this teddy isn't really the cuddly, drag around the house by his arm, type of bear.  He's more of a keepsake.  He's really one of a kind.  Is he made from leather? Why is he shiny?  Well, that my friend, is why he's one of a kind.  You definitely wouldn't want him to get damaged after all of that work you did to birth him with your baby.

Yup, you heard me right.  That there, teddy bear is made from...wait for it...wait for it...placenta.  I know, you just puked in your mouth a little bit...don't worry, I did too.  Gross, right?  I can see why they'd keep him in a jar.  Who wants a placenta bears gross ass drug around their house?  Blah!

I couldn't imagine who would even want this...well, except for those crazy crazies that thought eating the placenta sounded like a good idea.  No offense, to each their own (*coughfreakcough*).  I mean, I like peanut butter on my pancakes, so who am I to judge, right?

Anyway, the best part is...you don't even send the placenta away to have this made and sent back to you. Nope.  You order a kit and MAKE IT YOURSELF.  That way, you're getting the full placenta experience...you get to play with it too.

So, I ask you, the placenta eating, placenta playing, teddy bear making crazies...What's next???  Placenta Play-Dough?  Is there no end to this madness?

And if you're so inclined, here's a link to the website featuring it where you can vote on whether is cuddle-worthy or barftastic.

P.S. I'm just as sentimental as the next girl and do keep far more stuff than necessary...but I didn't even know what the heck to do with the scissors the hospital gave us after my husband used them to cut the umbilical cord.  LOL

Ewww! You should send this to weight watchers. Great way to go on a diet. Just look at the bear every time you think about muching those chips.

Hi - saw your site mentioned on Otin's blog and I'm glad I visited -- now I know what to get people for Christmas - thanks! ;->

blueviolet said...

What the freak? So when you're having a baby, you ask for the placenta to go?

I'm feeling ill.

hi; stopping by because Cookie said to check out your blog; I can't imagine anyone being this creative with placenta and then even suggesting this as a "make-it-yourself" project. just really different (way different)

Placenta??? Holy catfish shit...the horror!!

LiLu said...

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD.

Un. Freaking. BELIEVABLE.

It is too early to be dealing with something like this.

So of course I sent it to Twitter so everyone has to suffer with me. WIN!

Tricia said...

That is absolutely DISGUSTING.

Thank God I'm not having kids.

PS - verification word: Pregri . . . Sounds awfully too close to preggo!!!!

It's not exactly early here where I am but.. Thanks for ruining my dinner LiLu!

Vodka Logic said...

N.F.W.

That is gross... but I guess to each his own.

Stephanie said...

That's gross. I was kind of thinking human skin when I saw it.... UGH!

Logical Libby said...

Does it come with instructions for a foreskin button nose?

That Kind of Girl said...

Oh VOM! I thought it was made out of something cute and wholesome ... like a skinned sewer rat or retired moyel's collection of foreskins. This is so much grosser than I could have dreamed.

At least it's some small, weird consolation that it's hand-stitched and not (gag!) machine-sewn.
