"Syphilis, Gonorrhea," called the hawker. "Get your STD's, plush STD's right here, folks."

Yep, Giant Microbes Inc. makes "stuffed animals that look like tiny microbes--only a million times actual size!" Choose from cuddly germs like the Common Cold, Staph Infection, Mange, Hepatitis, et cetera. If you can catch it, they make it.

We love that they even have an educational pretext: "Each 5-to-7 inch doll is accompanied by an image of the real microbe it represents, as well as information about the microbe. They make great learning tools for parents and educators, as well as amusing gifts for anyone with a sense of humor!" Each germ gets its own tagline as well. E. Coli: "Everyone's welcome at a barbecue. Or are they?"
