Holy shit. Okay. So a Facebook ad for a synthetic frog dissection model piques my interest, because which is worse: killing frogs or plastic waste? Inquiring minds want to know ...
(Turns out, it's not actually made of plastic. Score +1 for the frogs, I guess. Ingredients are proprietary but company says mostly water, salt and "fibers", whatever that means. I'm still curious. But that's tangential ...)
The ad offered me a discount. $150 frog for $45 bucks. Cheap!
Fake frog.
So, naturally, I end up on the website. And it is ... a lot.
If you have to ask how much the fake, life-size, fully dissectible cadaver is then you probably can’t afford it.
But more distressingly ...
CONSUMABLES??
You want a fake canine spleen? I know a guy who can git ya one for $321. Fer an extry $50, yeh can git the one w’ pathologies.
Also, this is what the head of that fully dissectible fake cadaver looks like. Remember, you can’t afford him.
You will all be pleased to know that the comments on the synthetic frog ad have devolved into a flame war of real Americans decrying today’s “pansy” youth.
Here is the moment the otherwise calm social media rep for the synthetic frog company lost it.
I assume they then took a break and dissected a fake frog to calm down.
So a lady calls in her friends to attack this poor company for ... I guess, not forcing kids to dissect live frogs like god intended ... and the final comment in the entire thread is this:
The internet, everyone.
