I know that this is the fault of a computer, but it's still cracking me up. The ad banner for this company, which sells lab animal research equipment, just came up on a virtual pet site which is probably mostly visited by little kids, with a smattering of weird fur geeks like me. When I was ten and of the age when I'd have really obsessed over this site, it might have actually caused me some real upset.

Not that I believe that anyone old enough to read should be shielded from this ethical problem, but in context I find it kind of morbidly hilarious. I have these awful images of my cute little chicken smoothie pets in sterile plastic lab cages awaiting vivisection now. Especially since rats and bunnies are two of the species depicted on the site. Oops. ;D

And as long as I'm here, indulge me. Isn't this one just adorable? I'm all for morbid, stitchy Gaiman-inspired CS pets. Maybe next month, they'll do obviously experimented-on critters.
