Monkey Baby

Do you ever read Parade on Sundays? There are always ads in the back for creepy collectible plates, "life-like" dolls, etc. This one is really special:

I'm pretty sure the only reason this things exists is because there is a show on TLC called "My Monkey Baby" that documents the lives of people that adopt and raise monkeys as their children: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/monkey-babies-couples-treat-adopted-monkids-children/story?id=8723105

The order form has a check box where you check to say "Yes! Please reserve Mollie, the most life-like orangutan toddler ever created, for me as described in this announcement." And get this: Mollie only costs $149.99, payable in 5 interest-free installments of $29.99 (the installments option is a steal since that adds up to only $149.95).

THAT'S TOTALLY CREEPY! And really expensive!

(Thank you Robin for sending this to me, first as a PDF, then as a JPG, so I could share its full creepiness with the world)
