"I love you, nightmare mutant baby!
Please don't eat my face while I sleep!" |
Do you desperately want a pet, but you're cursed with allergies? Or perhaps you don't find yourself with enough time to devote to a lovable critter? Well, the folks at
Bio-Genica have you covered. In the very near future, you will be able to go to a local retail store and purchase a
Genpet! At first glance, they look like an extremely advanced
Pet Rock or
Giga Pet. Their package has cute little air holes and feeding tubes, making it appear that these alien-looking creatures are alive in some kind of space age hyper sleep. Well, they are. These are actual, living beings and that's just the tip of the nightmare iceberg.
According to the website, "Genpets are living, breathing mammals. Bio-Genica is a Bioengineering Company that has combined, and modified existing DNA to create the Genpets lineup. Genpets have blood, bones, and muscle; they will bleed if you cut them, and die if mistreated just like any other animal. The electronic components are only in the packages and are for basic life support, outside of the packages the Genpets are wholly organic." Just to clarify, yes, these are living creatures that will be sold on retail shelves.
