Cute, cuddly Ebola!
Written on March 30, 2005
It’s cute! It’s cuddly! It’s the Ebola plush doll from GIANTmicrobes!
The Black Death has crippled civilization several times — and Ebola haunts our imaginations. Sleeping Sickness seems like it’s everywhere these days. And while the modern word may have the upper-hand on big game, mother nature wants you to know that she can still eat you alive.
So just remember: whatever you’ve got, it could be a lot worse!
And yes, they also have — drumroll, please — HIV. Cuddly HIV comes in dashing black and red to reflect it’s dark and evil nature.
The widespread success of GIANTmicrobes™ has prompted numerous health care professionals to approach us regarding the introduction of a line of dolls pertaining to public health, including sexually transmitted diseases.
So why not, you might ask (or as Spinal Tap’s Nigel Tufnel wondered, “What’s wrong with being sexy?”)
Can I get sick now?
