Finally I understand what it is like to be one of the few remaining sane people trapped in an insane society. Sad For shame.

To those asking ‘do people really buy these things’... well yes! How do I know? Cos there’s so flipping many being made and offered for sale, they’d not be available for sale if they weren’t at least somewhat popular... mind boggling!

OzziePopPop · 06/07/2019 00:22

And to the op, if you truly think they’d like it, buy it! It’ll be a great focal and talking point 😃

NotAsDrunkAsYouThinkIAm · 06/07/2019 00:35

Thank you, kind person!

Just no

Pingu32 · 06/07/2019 08:20

You must be as drunk as I think you are lol. A donation to a wildlife charity would be very appropriate.

Proseccorella · 06/07/2019 08:33

I'm sorry - I'm sure your intentions are to be fun and kind, but that is just creepy...
Why not try this instead: www.orangutan.org.uk/adopt

...and there's some great orangutan artwork out there: www.etsy.com/market/orangutan_painting

NotAsDrunkAsYouThinkIAm · 06/07/2019 17:58

@Proseccorella That's a good idea and I really like your suggestions.

GrinGrinGrinGrin Oh my god! Your comment has literally made me howl with laughter - brilliant xx

SisyphusDad · 06/07/2019 23:03

Someone up-thread said it would be a 'memorable' present. I agree. Rather like PTSD.

liverbird10 · 06/07/2019 23:23

I want all of these.

nespressowoo · 06/07/2019 23:47

This is still going 😂

Two words Zombie Koalas
For a truly unique bridal gift

CrowleysBentley · 07/07/2019 00:02

The zombie koala is less horrifying than the pig-baby hybrid monster.

Dita73 · 07/07/2019 01:42

I’d actually be thrilled if someone bought me one of those,I think they’re adorable! I should say I am a bit odd but I’d love one!

SoupDragon · 07/07/2019 08:02

OMG, that koala is hilarious! Why? Just why??? 😂

Lily019 · 07/07/2019 15:37

Jeez, that is truly the stuff of nightmares!! Hideous!

aspoonfulofyourownmedicine · 11/07/2019 16:00

I really hope you're joking! We love wildlife and animals, but I'm terrified of dolls, clowns and animal-like dolls. These scare the life out of me. I'd genuinely think you'd hated me if I received this as a gift.

I'd be grateful for a membership to a local wildlife park or an animal adoption though.

After taking all of your feedback on board, I have decided to give them 50 Euros towards their honeymoon instead.
