[Shit like this](http://www.ajc.com/news/gwinnett/fetus-dolls-at-trick-1219703.html) just blows me away. My favorite part, is that he “can’t understand why some people are upset with what he did”. :smack::mad: ---

If they were made of chocolate, that would be awesome. ---

Small model fetus’s are kind of horrifying. I think seeing one unexpectedly at the bottom of my trick-or-treat bag would make me want to kill them more, not less. ---

This would have been infinitely more funny if: a) It was edible b) they were passed out in little plastic baggies covered in fake blood c) they had wire coat-hangers jammed into their faces like the power-up in The Binding of Isaac As such, hearing that it was an anti-abortion group and not, say, the creepy old man down the street makes this story infinitely less lulzworthy. ---

Way to respond to a “weak-ass attempt to divert a conversations”, therefore diverting the conversation. (Of course, I don’t think my comment is any worse than the conversation going on about chocolate and sugar-free fetuses.) > [@](#): > > No one here has shown any fear of fetuses, let along irrational fear. Right, right. Spoken like a true [del]fetusophobe[/del] coitaphobe. ---

I’m not sure this should be in the Pit. Honestly, I’m way too WTF’d to feel any sort of outrage at this, recreational or otherwise. It doesn’t make any sort of sense to me, on any level. This shit runs right past creepy, past gross, speeds by heinous, doesn’t break stride across insane and is still accelerating at “what.”. So many questions raised, mostly screamed at the top of one’s lungs. * * * In other news, **OMG Yadda Yadda** I’m happy to report that your trolling form is improving fast. On the other hand you’re getting more obvious than ever. But don’t despair and do keep practicing, I’m sure at this rate it won’t be too long until you get your very own BANNED guest title. ---

These people are hilariously insane. I can’t imagine how I’d react if I found a fetus doll in my kid’s Halloween candy! Gross and creepy doesn’t begin to describe it. Anyway, they should be sentenced to take 1950s-style home economics classes - like this: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/dZfmPREbTd8/hqdefault.jpg "something") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZfmPREbTd8) 😃 ---
