Live cockroach jewelry

I cannot even believe someone thought of this.  Ok, I don't like cockroaches anymore than the next person, but come on, this goes over the top of roach rights, making a pet of one as a...a pin to wear on your clothing?  Complete with Swarovski crystals and a leash?  Not only is that a disgusting idea, but absolutely ludicrous.  It's like the shock value kind of thing some kids do - like when the drama club in my high school started wearing kitchen utensils as jewelry to get a rise out of the popular kids. 

And the ad says it's a hissing cockroach...does that mean it hisses at people as well as crawling all over your favorite shirt?  (And doing God knows what else on your favorite shirt - yuck!)  I also find it interesting that they specfically mention the use of sterile male cockroaches...was this like a trial and error thing, where they once used female cockroaches only to have them lay roach eggs all over someone's clothing?  *shudders*

Let's see if this one catches on in Hollywood.

ETA: OMG it already has!  Carmen Electra has one!

OMG! They had those things featured in one of the runway challenges in last season's America's Next Top Model! One of the girls totally flipped out, it was awesome. I mean, I totally would flip out. I don't get it, I just don't. What, regular Svarovski crystals are too boring or something?

And this is only one of the many, many reasons why I would never want to be on reality TV. But really, the list is so very long, live cockroaches as jewelry is pretty far down the list.

DAMN. The person before me beat me to commenting on how THAT TOTALLY MADE ITS DEBUT ON MY BELOVED REALITY SHOW: AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL AND IT WAS AWESOME AND HILARIOUS.

Ah well. Maybe next time!
