Someone at work told me about this and I guess it was just a matter of time. I don't know if I was more disgusted at the thought or their appearance.

Could easily make a horror/sci-fi movie out of these things.

ROFL, I bet they get loads of hits. Great site.
"But don’t worry, the days when you’ll be able to go into any big box store and find a small animal twist-tied into a piece of plastic are coming soon, so hold tight. We know from the mass amounts of emails we’ve received how excited you all are, and so are we.

Genpets explained by their maker
"This piece is meant to be creepy. It’s me playing devils advocate to get a point across. The piece is meant to illicit a reaction, though many times it gets a very scary positive acceptance from teens + resellers."

| Ahhh after reading more carefully, I'm relieved that it's only a thesis and creation, not real! |

I saw this in the forums earlier today....a friend did a Google search and found out that it is/was an Art Exhibit of a "new expression sculpture" type - still after reading the description it sounds like this might possibly move into the realms of becoming the new Furby....bleh.
Below is the description from //www.torontoartscape.on.ca/qwacce/ (scolled down about halfway)

"Genpets are not for commercial sale yet. But they will be soon."
Think this says it all... |

I hadn't read the entire site and am very pleased to know it was an art exhibit and not a true thing...although I wouldn't doubt it happening sometime.

Oh my..... I guess so far, it has been just an "art exhibit".
Without a doubt, though, a few entrepreneurs will have spotted this by now and are probably already working on making it a reality. |

| I think it's pretty funny. I figured it was a scam from the get-go, especially since you cannot combine the DNA of the animals they listed. Anyway, it's poking fun at our incessant desire for something easy and quick. Kind of a sad commentary on us humans, huh? |
