A fetus soldier to adorn your tree this year. Very anti-choice, pro-military chic.

Oh.my.goodness. I want one.

I'm not anti-choice, or pro-military, but I'm not a Christian either and my xmas tree is purely perfunctory and self-indulgent.

Which means that decorating it with absurdity like this is perfect-o!

lololololol

What's so fucked up about this is that the website selling it doesn't seem to think it's satirical??!

I want one!

And if I was brave enough I know what I'd bring to the office white elephant holiday exchange this year. The Death doll caused so much carping the year I brought it. I'd love to see what this would do!

I love quite a few of the items on that site, and will be making a Christmas order. The pamphlet on arguing with Christians is a must-have stocking stuffer for most of my friends.

. . .okay . . . so I guess they're just really good at satire ;). I was worried there for a couple of minutes.

I'm pretty sure this is a gag. The rest of the website makes me think this is a gag.

I want a "Savin' Up For Jesus" bank.

I want one! Almost as much as I want this: http://www.homestead.com/godslittleones/budsandpins.html

(Scroll down to the baby with angel wings holding TWO SMALLER BABIES. Awesome).

Jill says the description is fake, but the product is real. You can buy that shit (which I very well may do).

I'm not even going to have a tree this year, but I will have this ornament!

betty, right with you--i want one too. it's just so ridiculous!

Why does the "'Brown' model" have a beret?

Yes, I knew the website couldn't be that reactionary when I noticed that you can buy a brown fetus soldier ornament.

reminds me of a quote I've seen attributed to George Carlin:

"Republicans only want live babies so they can make dead soldiers."

As a friend of mine once said. They don't worship Jesus, they worship Mars.

That is, mos def, a satirical site, for anybody wondering. I've been a fan for years - they're on our side, folks.

Reminds me of the fact that so many pro-lifers seem to have no problem with killing thousands of innocent civilians in places like Iraq. Or putting people to death by lethal injection.
But when a 13 year old girl got raped and is now pregnant wants to "kill" a bundle of cells in her uterus - OH MY GOD.... SHE'S A MURDERER WHO WILL BURN IN HELL!!!!!

Pedgehog! Soooo silly! I want the lamb hugging the "8 weeks gestation
micropreemie."

pedgehog - okay, that fetus holding the 2 smaller fetuses...pure genius. I really, really want to order one for my partner...buuuut, I don't want to send that organization any money. Thank you for sharing, though. Made my day.

Why does the "'Brown' model" have a beret?

A beret??? That does it. I'm getting a brown one.

That just made holiday shopping much easier. Sweet.

"If only a womb were this safe, attractive and reasonably priced!"

I want to make a pin.

They are sold out of both models *sigh* I guess bobble head jesus will have to fill my void.

This is what I want for Science-mas - http://www.prankplace.com/jesus.htm

pedgehog - Ha, thanks for the link! I'm confused about the 8-week fetuses with the gummy bears though. Are the fetuses gummy too?

Sweet. I like the "brown" one because he/she gets a beret.

Those ones with the gummy bears are way tacky. Who would actually be serious in wearing one of those things??

URGENT QUESTION about the PrankPlace link above...

isn't PrankPlace the site that harassed people who complained about the pencil sharpener last week?

I'm pretty sure this site is satirical--you can still buy the products, but most Christian stores wouldn't sell "Jesus Loves my Ass" ashtrays or "After-Rapture" mints.

sgzax- I think that was "Fun Ideas".

BUT- Prank Place does carry Lusty Linda, and her male counterpart.

OHHHHHNNNNOOOOOO MY BAD!!!

Here, buy my Science-mas present at http://www.stupid.com/stat/ANSJ.html
or

krissy! you beat me to the george carlin comment...that instantly reminded me of that skit too. I LOVED that bit haha

Prank Place also carries the USB stripper, shirts that call Hillary Clinton a cunt and a bitch, and another dancing doll called Betty Boomba with this description:
"Say Hello to Betty Boomba, The fabulous farting and flashing floozy! Watch this desperate wild thing let it rip while she moans and dances like a horny
she-beast!
Duck for cover when she flashes her fun-bags!"

Classy.

me: Can we get one for our tree?!?!?!?!?!
SO: [reallllly long pause] ...ew.

I'm sorry, I know as a good little pro-choicer I'm supposed to laugh, but satire or not this is in incredibly poor taste.

Really Dylan? Now, I find comments like yours somewhat inciting as "as a pro-choicer" you're not "supposed" to do anything.

But nonetheless, while I find some of the other products a bit much (I'm pretty anti-religion but I believe in some respect) the ornament is highly, highly amusing IMO.

I think this site is hilarious. Considering the owner, "Ms. Poppy", is a Christian, it makes it even better to know that there are some liberal religious-folk out there with a sense of humor. It seems to me that she's making fun of crazy fundamentalists. And, I like it. However, I would never want a plastic fetus hanging from tree. Jesus magnets though,... count me in! heh...
