This may or may not be effective, but I find it deeply creepy-looking.

okay, so when the page first loaded i wasn't paying much attention, my eyes flickering all around, my mind in another place. all i saw was a baby.

and then i saw the reason you said it was creepy. it was sort of a sudden thing, like, "omg, what are THOSE?"

it made me shriek out loud. that's what i get for looking at the interwebs when i'm all scatterbrained.

I am absoultely sure that somebody will use that contraption in a kinky way.

Or, you know, you could just touch your baby.

Oh I assumed it was a contraption to address SIDS.

But I don't see any mention.

Uh, the scary part is the copy underneath the picture, which talks about putting a baby to sleep in an oddly porn-y way. Ick. Fire molester copywriter stat.

If they're not vagisoft, I want no part.

The muppets are holding your baby, possibly as a hostage.

This product could have some keen spin-offs. Bright green Incredible Hulk hands. Red-tipped claws for the goth parents. Hands with six fingers for the inbred crowd. Or instead of two hands, giant squid tentacles!

It's a good thing I don't have children.

Oh, that is just creepy.

Giant squid tentacles would be totally cool, and I'd want them big enough so they'd go on my bed as evil pillows from hell. No, this has nothing to do with hentai.
Also, touching babies is wrong and bad because they have germs and ick and cooties and stuff mostly bad stuff and some maybe not so bad stuff but still pretty not-safe and no good stuff at all and should only be touched with muppet hands or tenactacles. Fact.

pokermonk - actually, those jackets look pretty neat, on the whole. I've always liked that cut, and a jacket that looks pretty understated, though with lush lining, has always caught my eye.
Although the whole vagisoft thing is not what... Well, you put your hand in your pocket and you don't expect... I mean like, "I got money for the next round." "No no, that's ok, you keep it..." ya know? It's just that.. it's just a 'no' on that, there.
bad p.r. people, bad!
