[SpiritFurEva]

Whoah! kk i just found the weirdest thing EVER!.........a genpet? REAL ANIMAL IN A BOX..........HOLY!! LOL kk it has blood has to be fed and can die......and MUCH more its so weird but it says that they were bred at a special place and then they are put in the plastic box......well fed.......clean.......and most importantly.....asleep.....then they have a special tube that feeds them and holes in the plastic to let it breathe...it looks like a chipmunk or something but anyways as a baby it wiggles and then it shall walk on four legs....i really wanna see a video of it too but i kinda do think its fake but maybe im wrong :) its not in stores yet for more info go to Genpets.com anways :confused: Real or Robot? what do you think? :confused:

After taking a look at the website, I put "genpets" into a search engine to see what would come up.

This was there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genpet

I have to say, it was a bit of a relief to see the explanation on the wiki page. I wasn't at all certain that the concept of genpets was a workable one as described on that website. The packaging, etc looked like cruelty-to-bioengineered-critters, if you ask me.

lol idk but i think pleo is better anways LOL something makes me feel as if the genpet people r gonna get in trouble because they say its real but its not LOL

[Themiles]

I'm so happy this is a fake. Seriously, pets made to have certain behaiviours and life spans, boxed up in plastic.....that would be horrible.....

[lolasaurus]

ya can you imagane noing your pleo was going to die in a year who would do that in reality?

[Falseprophet666]

Yeah, its fake. You did bring it up a while back, Pleoguy. I remember how badly they scared me when I saw them.

[SpiritFurEva]

ya and i think saying its LIVE would probably scare people MORE because you know thinking about it could CHANGE on you and bite you and ATTACK YOU lol

[Pleona]

Wow, I'm so happy these are fake...
If I ever saw a kid with one of them, I think I'd scream and run in the other direction. So creepy... !

actually, the scare factor wasn't so much the fact that they were little animals in plastic. It was that they were completly artificial creatures that were being marketed as toys. What bothered me was the whole Frankenstein factor of it all. I don't believe in a god, but I feel as though life is something that is wonderful and should be upheld and cherished, not messed with. It wouldn't have neen that big a deal to me if they were being sold as little pets, but they weren't. They were being marketed as cheap 15.00 toys, and that really hit a soft spot when I saw it. The artist who made them was trying to make a point, and apparently, he succeeded.
