#21 & 22: Fetus & Fallus
November 22nd, 2006
What little guy is causing almost as much internet ruckus as O. J.’s didn’t-think-he-could-sink-lower, mega-million-dollar, “confession” book & t.v. special?
The design of the Aquapet is truly fascinating from a feminist perspective. This toy ingeniously converts the phallus into a womb - complete with nipple-bearing testicles and gently bobbing, rather surprised-looking fetus.
There have been many attempts in our culture to imagine creation sans woman (J. R. Tolkein’s fighting Bruhai, Dr. Frankenstein’s monster, the space fetus in 2001: A Space Odyssey to name just a few), but this one gets the Oscar for Most Whimsical. Its designer was either very unconscious or very horny - not that there is a lot of difference between the two.
Oh, and by the way, Aquapet reminds me that it’s high time I give thanks for fetus and phallus. Truly, they are fabulous gifts from Dog what look great on other people. I mean, where would we be without them? Besides much better off? (Sorry, couldn’t resist a classic feminazi cliche…)

I want one! Do they make one with Antonio Banderas inside?
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I like your new layout.
There are seven different kinds, all with animal fetuses (fetusii?) in them. Craziness!
