Oh No They Didnt

[oakenguy]

Y'know, it was one thing when Amazon started giving recommendations, the whole "Other people who've bought this Howard Zinn book also bought The Amazing Tapeworm Diet: Lose 30 Pounds in 30 Hours" thing.

But just now I was on eBay looking at different chocolate molds and cooking gadgets, because the Theatre@First concession stand deserves new things, and with Wendy and her "let's just sculpt a body out of marshmallows & rice krispies, cover it in fondant for the skin and then paint scales on" I feel this sudden, panicky need to kick my dessert ideas up a notch or two. Anyhow, long story short, based on the eBay pages I was looking at the site felt I'd be the ideal audience for this:





A mold so you can make an EDIBLE NEWBORN BABY OUT OF CANDY.

Oh, and 54 of them have been sold so far.

I...I just...there's...WHAT?!? WHAT THE FRICKING FRELLING FRACKING %Y&328!)+$Y*R%#&({BFUSV VM

honestly, the need for this has been discussed before in larp circles. I'm not saying that makes it right...just an interesting coincidence.

Haven't you heard? Baby-eating is the new hot thing!

I'm right there with you, bro. Babies made of candy. Fah. For me and my cloven-hooved kin, it's real babies or nothing.

Well, OK, maybe Blackbird Pie would be an alright substitute... but only if they got at least 24 Blackbirds in there. I had a "Blackbird pie" the other day... there were two and twenty Blackbirds in it, tops.

This is some freakish pileup between confectioners and people that read The Road.

The worst thing? It looks REAL, Bri. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I know!! The fact is, I know at least two people who design haunted houses, and oh the nastiness they could achieve with this...it'd be like a Jack Chick tract guest-written by Geoff Johns.

How're YOU doing, by the way?

There are some really disturbing cakes out there.

Some baby cakes. There are more.

So, I'm married to a birth professional, and from what I can see the industry is insane, but this... ...I'm just... Ahhh!

"I can see the head crowning, keep pushing... it's a... it's a..." (pulls out confection from bag) "delicious dessert! Just kidding. Keep pushing."

It's like serving cocktail wieners at a bris - WRONG!

"Well, if we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, would it?"

I like babies. I just can't eat a whole one.

The baby cakes on CakeWrecks -- esp. the latest, with the cutting photos! -- freak me out enough, the candy is really just the next step on the road to madness.

What's next? Baby-shaped roasting pans for your meatloaf?

omg.. I hate the fact that I want one of these. *headdesk*

There was a candy baby on my baby shower cake. We (druid and I) refused to eat it.

[magickcat.livejournal.com]

I can't.. my brain.. it hurts from the WTF.

1) That is just WRONG.
2) Trying to imagine where baby candy would be appropriate spurred a whole list of where the candy would not be appropriate. #1 so far- Planned Parenthood Opening party.

[oakenguy.livejournal.com]

Oh, the list of inappropriate places is so long!

#2: The dog park. "A dingo ate my ba--oh, wait, false alarm."

What's the big deal? Catholics get to eat LITERAL PIECES OF 2000 YEAR-OLD FLESH and nobody even blinks! Will you then deny atheists the right to baby-shaped confections?

MMMMMM, babies.
