Fucking lawyers ruin everything.

I, for one, intend to follow the advice of keeping my uterus away from children.

Sometimes I do want to opt out of my uterus...

I have a long list of highly inappropriate comments here.

The companies main page is as funny:

Uterus NO! Other organs yes!

Uteri are great. They make stuff like this:

The thought of some small child choking on my ovaries is somewhat horrifying.

Okay, it's really horrifying.

Are you fucking kidding me?

God, I wish I could opt out of my uterus.

I bought this for my mom for Christmas since she just had hers removed due to some fun fun cancer. She said they would have to pry this uterus from her cold dead hands. They did give us a 15% off coupon for opting out. We're thinking about getting a gallbladder since she doesn't have one of those too.

I wish to keep my beloved uterus...and yours too, if you can spare it.

I can understand the kitsch value of owning a stuffed uterus, but who buys one of these for a child? Huh?

Posted by Christy O on January 17, 2009 at 9:53 AM

I would totally get that for my kid. If it wasn't for the choking hazard.

still not quite as cool as the petri dish giant microbes:

they also have regular giant microbes...

Aw dammit! Now I want a plush uterus. I never knew they existed and now that I do, I can't have one. I wonder if there's some way I can get a black market plush uterus. I guess I'll just have to make my own, like some amateur crappy plush Frankenstein.
