I remember this website from a long time ago when someone else posted it on here.
I was just looking at this now and wondering are these things actually real!?

No, it's not real... It's an art project done by a sculpture artist... I forget her name but she's done a lot of stuff like this involving creature creation type stuff. I wish I could remember her name I looked at her website once and it has lots of cool stuff
what a weird mix of emotions brought on by the concept and the visuals lol
had me going, but here's what wiki says:
Genpets are a mixed media installation art piece by artist Adam Brandejs.[1] It is considered a hoax of exposure. The project has been shown in multiple galleries in Canada and Europe and has garnered some attention in the mass media.
The creations were sculpted, automated creatures made of latex and plastic, and housed robotic circuitry to simulate slow respiration. They looked like small, baldskinned humanoids, and were intended to be displayed as living, but dormant, bioengineered creatures for purchase as pets. The fabricated packaging indicated a purchaser had a choice of colors, for different personalities and levels of activity,[2] and that the creatures had a limited vocal capacity. The sculptures and packaging, along with the professional-appearing hoax website, are so realistic that observers are often fooled.[3][4]
In 2006, Genpets were featured on the weblog for The Museum of Hoaxes in San Diego, California.[5] as well as broadcast on BBC news worldwide on a BBC program called 'click'[6] as well as the Times (UK), the New York times and G4TechTV.[7]
All the work was hand done by the artist Adam Brandejs, with assistance from makeup artist Crystal Pallister for the colouring of the creatures. The pictures show the actual 19 genpet units that display at art galleries. Genpets have been displayed at multiple Fine Art galleries and museum displays in both North America and Europe
I STILL think it's cool as shit, hehehehe.... But then, I'm stoned... ROFLMAO...
Sometimes I even make myself laugh, LOL.
And Tootsie, many thanks - sent some back at cha, with some good vibes as well... Some call it Karma, some call it Vibes, I call it ESP, hehehehe....
Thank god theyre fake.. at least i hope they are. It would be incredibly cruel if they were to be real. As an animal lover who doesnt wear fur, leather, hunt, eat exotic meats, and breaks, stops and helps injured animals, I was fixing to start bitchin and raisin Hell. I hope this never comes to be.
Yeah, it's fake. Brandejs has some other pretty cool shit. Check it out!
i wish i was still a kid that's some cool shit:thumbsup:
I tried to buy the lethargic one so I wouldn't feel guilty about smoking pot. That commercial on TV really got to me; but it was so lazy that it quit breathing and died...uh-oh
