Case in point:

Live cockroach jewelry...

roach brooch

A little information on our little friends. These insects come in varied patterns and are decorated with the finest Austrian Swarovski crystal. Each roach takes about an hour of painstaking work to achieve his final magical glory. All roaches are male to ensure sterility, and come complete with a leash set. This consists of a gorgeous pin you attach to your clothing with a chain that clasps to the cockraoch's carapace to keep him from running amok. The lifespan of these animals is approximately one year if housed and fed properly. This is not a guarantee, it is an estimate. Roaches love fresh bananas and must have acces to fresh water at all times, a very damp paper towel or cotton ball will do the trick. Dehydration is the main cause of death. Keep him in a little terrarium in the dark and he will love you and be very responsive to your touch. Roaches are shipped overnight in a box and can be kept in this box for up to 4 days without food or water while you secure him more hospitable accomodations.

$80.00 retail.

And as much as I can't stand roaches, I think this is a little inhumane. YUCK!

I hate roaches. That's so disgusting. In a way, they kind of look pretty cool. But still disgusting.

Oh yeah, I was going to look this up, I saw it covered briefly on Today yesterday morning.  I was so grossed out.


It reminded me of a memory my MIL told me about growing up in San Antonio.  She said her older sister and friends used to buy these lizards (chameleons?) that you would wear in the same way.  She said that they were cute, but always died or pooped on you.  I was like, HOW INHUMANE, but she was talking about the 1950's or 60's, so people were different then.  Anyway, while I have no sympathy for cockroaches, this is really wrong.


And $80!!!???  WTF!?

OMG.


I have an unnatural fear of these things (I can't even say or type them out) and I am feeling very queasy right now.  That is so gross.


(I hope I don't have nightmares)
