I had a mouthfull of crisps when i clicked on this.... ... needless to say i dont anymore... im wiping them off the screen... that is indeed sick....... Could of at least used a wireless mouse ffs!!!
I found it cute , but not very ergonomic. I can find a clear analogy between this and wearing leather by the way , so anyone here wearing leather can't say 'poor animal/sick' etc
That is like saying anyone who enjoys the odd hamburger or eats pork luncheon meat shouldn't complain if served with monkey brain still steaming inside a freshly severed head! h:
That's a Cantonese delicacy actually you re describing! (although not steaming, but eaten with Chilli sauce) It's really a matter of presentation and gross-ness then, not cruelty. So, this does not contradict what I previously said, I m only criticizing those who might think this is cruel beyond belief (ie "oh poor animal!" ) Obviously, it is not visually appealing
Visually very unappealing, but just a sick idea! If you take the same concept of wrapping a piece of electrical equipment in it's namesake are you telling me you would not find it cruel to catch a Dolphin and.... well? What does a MOUSE mouse do? What purpose does it serve? The face would bang into things, the little feet would scratch your desk and equally get in the way when you picked the mouse up. You'd be forever finding hairs all over the place and your cat would immediately take a great deal of interest in your PC. On another note, I would wear leather on my feet, usually whilst wearing socks. Firstly, I wouldn't expect to look down at my Doc Martins and see and ear sticking out of it. Secondly, I wear socks to feel once removed from the dried flesh of the carcass (if you will). Actually using your mouse mouse would mean placing your hand.... your actual sensative hand on a dead animal! Clicking left or right would mean pushing it's flesh parts down and feeling it give - YUK! If you over shoot and clicks its eyes, even worse! As for the monkey brains, I was thinking more of Indiana Jones actually lol
The guy started with an already taxidermized mouse, thus leaving the gory details off the page. It's not so awful to me, then, just very creepy.
Hey, I hear you, and I don't disagree. I don't like having a mouse mouse under my hand! But if you ever set a mouse-trap, it won't make a difference for the dead animal whether u throw it in the bin or you use it to make a cell-phone case, that's all i m saying
LOL - yeah, like making a "woman suit" in Silence of the lambs (one of those fantastic films that leaves your nerves jangling. "Now it puts the lotion in the basket..... now it puts the lotion in the basket..... NOW IT PUTS THE LOTION IN THE FU*K*NG BASKET!"
I love that, I understand your arguement, but it makes a huge difference between catching vermin and safely, cleanly removing it from your property in order to ensure that diseases and pests are not spread around, your food stuff gotten at and electrical cables chewed on and standing with a dead mouse in your hand and thinking "Instead of throwing this out, I think I'll make something useful out of it.... hey, I know a cell phone cover". "....darling, that mouse I caught, look it made great ear rings!" There was a guy on the radio a few months ago who was equally bizarre. He claimed to have saved himself hundreds of pounds by simply picking up any road kill and taking it home to dump in his freezer. That negated any reason to visit his local supermarket for meat. Now, it might (as you are suggesting) be our sensibilities that are being toyed with here and it makes no difference whether it's a cat or a pheasant in taste terms. Meat IS meat. But, there is something rather macabre and unthinkable in polite society about keeping a spade & a tarp in your car solely for the purpose of scraping dead animals off the road, plonking them in a bag and trying the meat out at home. Suffice to say he was not married, he also complained that sometimes the meat was a bit "gamey" and listed some of the animals he had tried, some pleasant enough and some not. He recommended labrador pup by the way lol Sick as that might seem, I would be even more shocked if he thought "I can't waste this", scooped out a lab pup, ate the meat, filled the remaining skin with helium and made puppy balloons out of 'em lol There is surely a line to be drawn ?
You think roadkill is nasty? Try watching an animal farm video, to see how the animals actually live and get slaughtered. I m all pro-meat by the way, but those poor things are treated like dirt. Roadkills at least live a better life while alive! Watch a Chicken farm or Pig/caddle farm, and you might just run around for roadkill
old joke here, but it fits this perfectly . it is a joke on Windows 2000 error messages . "Mouse is missing, spank the cat ?"
saw this before from dcemu didnt really find it distubing (apart from the fact they used a gerbil instead of a mouse) and as it said it was an already taxidermied animal, so at least the didnt kill it needlessly wonder if they could do the same for a mobile phone......
Mate there's quite a few "Roadkill Cafe's" in America, and they have been around for years. It's not that strange. Shit, if I hit a wild deer and had the kit on me, I would strip that bugger down and eat Venison for a month. I think the point about how our food animals are treated and killed is a good one, if you think pigs die of old age before being sliced up into bacon, think again. Leather cows, best way to get the skin off is to starve the poor sods before killing them. We ignore it because it's not paletable, and because we still like those DocMartens and bacon sandwich's in the morning.
Offs! I guess from this thread that come Christmas I can expect cat skin tea cosys, complete with decapitated gerbil sugar bowl and an empty seal pup hotwater bottle cover. OH: :noooo: From my attitude I guess I am of the "frozen, prepacked, nicely pre processed food" era, whilst my younger brethren are all being brought up with Bowie knives in readiness for Armageddon. Whilst you are all living off the fat of the land, I'll have starved to death trying to prise open sealed freezer cabinets buried in the rubble of our lost civilisation. Fuck it, I'd rather be dead than face a world without fine wines and food that I never saw move before I pushed it with a fork!
I wouldn't have this on my desk, but I really don't see what the issue is; if you have a problem with dead mice, I hope you're a vegetarian. This is sick? You don't want to know how your meat is prepared. I'd advise anyone who's fond of chip shop pies to go and take a look at how they're made. You'll never eat another. Hypocrisy: a dead mouse is something terrible - unthinkable sickness, but dead cow products are A-ok. C'mon guys, at least be consistent.
