Stuffies With Guts
Unlike those snobs over at Daily Find, I never let good taste stand in my way. So let me present Twitch the Raccoon. He's the first in a line of roadkill stuffies designed by U.K.-based Compost Communications.
Twitch has got lots of fun features, including a body bag "to keep the maggots out,"
and an ID tag revealing he was "run over over by a
milk float last Thursday, near the Hangar Lane Giratory system in
London." A zip on each side of Twitch allows the owner to
remove his guts and stuff them back in again. A tire print runs
across its back.
Twitch will soon be joined by his friends Grind the Rabbit, Splodge the hedgehog and Pop the weasel. Causes of death could include being run over by kebab vans and golf carts.
Adam Arber, the creative genius behind the toy carnage, says he was inspired by his mother-in-law's dog, who is "quite ugly."
Twitch is $50 and set to go on sale this weekend at Playlounge.
Admit it, you totally want one.

I want one for my husband, a truck driver but $50!
A bit overpriced.
I agree. Better to wait 'til after the holiday season, and pick one up on eBay for cheap.
