[Felgrim4]

[123MAR0]

hi, i'm sorry but i think this would be a neat ideal for parent that can't give their kids a pet. you would need no license to tag on it and if it ever came out i would buy it. i think it would be close to a hairless pet like a sphynx cat or a mexican hairless dog maybe a skinny pig. does anyone ever say that inhuman no. so why dis something that is even like pleo the dino. yes i would but three if they ever will bring them out sign me up!

[SavageBias]

@123MAR0

They ARE out... you have to buy them in the store though..

[TylerJayVain]

@SavageBias lol trololol

[knighttemplar6]

When i see this i think maybe humans was genpets

[tziuriky86]

Genpets are a mixed media installation art piece by artist Adam Brandejs.[1] It is considered a hoax of exposure. The creations were sculpted, automated creatures made of latex and plastic, and housed robotic circuitry to simulate slow respiration. They looked like small, baldskinned and ugly humanoids..The sculptures and packaging, along with the professional-appearing hoax website, are so realistic that observers are often fooled. Source: Wikipedia

[SugarBudgie]

@tziuriky86 That explains why there's no where to order one on the website yet it sells coffee mugs and t-shirts. Darn would've been a cool robotic pet.

[MonkeyDSig]

the walking dead is coming...

[NinaD253]

Who do those people think they are, it is inhumane! Do they think they are god? These poor creatures probably have health issues and the ones created before these probably suffered greatly! And to sale them in a package is even worse! At first I thought it was a toy robot, but then I went to the web site for Genpets and saw they they are not a toy at all, that they are a real living breathing animal! I am out raged!

[rgallows]

@NinaD253 Perhaps you should look into things a little deeper before you get outraged.

[skilltone4]

@NinaD253 They arent real.

[anna2011xx]

You people are dumb. They are fake. Not real, and never will be.

[anthemlog]

>>MFW everyone thinks they are real.

[OneGirl007]

CREEPY GOD PLAYING IDIOTS!

[FeelinGipper]

I was just waiting for the part where the Genpet opens its eyes, screams and scares the shit outta you

[58Emogirl]

GOTTA CATCH EM ALL!!!!

[MommaApe26]

[808758]

google 150 human hybrids about the 7th one down you should see 3w daily mail co. uk it's a legit web site I believe is the actual site . Half real, fully, quarter or not human DNA is being toyed with.

[DaMrLegoMan]

[MrsHakke]

[hfmx1]

Wow GREMLINS IS REAL!!

[theodogeo]

One thing is sure: the artist laughs out loud all this time at our credulity.

[deadteddiebear1177]

Just imagine if this was real. Too bad we already fund our tax dollars on stupid shit. I mean if we were going to do that why not fund this? I'd like to see some black market editions where they fight and shit XP.

Other then that this is pretty cool.

[MrMinutemen]

@lolgtpomgwtf They're not. The site is fake.

[tdga7xknot]

POKEMON!

[TheDarkRaven44]

there mammles go to Genpets.com

[LordSinuhe]

It is amazing/hysterical/tragic that people can have such strong feelings about something as to be offended while SIMULTANEOUSLY not being interested enough to research it in the slightest.

That is FASCINATING.

[tatitailin]

yo no quiero ni uno regalo merda eso da miedo lol

[Vaulttec2012]

too bad so sad :( GenPet UFC would have been great...

[Hacker2090]

any one have a video of this genpets out of box?

[baskerzeke]

I am really getting tired of people that believe every single thing they read or see online. Shows that the majority shouldn't be responsible for anything.

[SparksYukiSparks]

well since they just learned how to synthesize cell's i wouldn't be surprised if something like this actually came out...

[pricemac]

soooooooo.... The guy made art to try to tell us not to do that?! He practically devised a viable means of doing exactly what he's supposedly against! I love it when they screw themselves over! :)

[TheTerror364]

yo man wtf are those ???

[303ranger]

Lovebug

[303ranger]

Humans created the lovebig why not this

[penguinpunchu]

this is wrong, you shouldnt play god. and its cruel. i mean think would you want to be created to be in a box and hooked up to machines all day, and be fed through a tube

[ghostavenger1988]

how can people think theyre real i mean if u want to prove they are alive just cut them to see if theres blood lol so stupid

[GhostJx]

Duh Fuck it .. it's fake we can't even creat a bug to creat this ... we can't play god ... u will never ever see them a wake WE CAN'T CREAT SOULS !

[JulioOdd4kky]

@GhostJx yet we can create hybrids animals do they have souls can they even b consider animals??? i agree we cant create souls but those things r creepy nd it is just to raise awerness off a possible future

[tylerzacc]

how funny would it be if it went rabid in the box on video.

[ElCamaron2010]

how much do they cost? ILL BUY ONE AND WAT STORE?

[TheKratos1993]

this is so fucking sick

a3oudo bi allah al 3ali al 3adim

fuck u man u are a big peace of crap

[chuk90]

This only makes us think ''LIFE'' is cheap...

[DannySmith300]

its obviously fake. why would anyone want to make anything that ugly?

[abudi200]

This is sick

[ironpwn77]

that's cruel

[exxodia]

genpets . com / about . php

THINK

[CounterStrikeCZ]

Maybe you guys should check the official site for more information =) Instead of accusing them of playing god or anything, you should always listen to both sides of the argument before coming to a conclusion =)

[mhwarrior]

maybe u shud wiki it. The real site is playing along with this whole exposrue hoax. they don't really exist, this was made by Adam Bandejs to show the reprocussions of bio engineering.

[Franzlandser]

where can i buy this toys please tell me

[mejawmeyaw]

SICK YUUUUUUUCK

[ParrotsPoco]

Sooo creepy,hey how did you even get a vid of those things....do you live in Torronto?

[0bJect0f33l]

wtf?

ich finde es wirklich total scheiße das es menschen gibt die lebende objekte in plastic tüten packen als wären sie nur spielzeug..

schrecklich finde ich ebenfalls das man ihnen ein lebensspanne gibt wie lange sie leben und das man sie in 1, 3 jahres packs kaufen kann...

UNMÖGLICH FIND IHC DAS!!

[ilikestraberries]

You guys are all fucking retards.  It's an art project designed to raise awareness about the repercussions of bio engineering.

Tards.

[tamara2707]

@ilikestraberries google genpets...

[randomgirl881]

@ilikestraberries its not nice to call ppl retards if they didnt know, and you should be calling ppl retards when you are the one who cant spell the word strawberries

[MELISSA84008]

@ilikestraberries genpets(DOT)com/faq.php#1 Are Genpets Real animals? How?

Genpets are living, breathing mammals. Bio-Genica is a Bioengineering Company that has combined, and modified existing DNA to create the Genpets lineup. Genpets have blood, bones, and muscle; they will bleed if you cut them, and die if mistreated just like any other animal. The electronic components are only in the packages and are for basic life support, outside of the packages the Genpets are wholly organic.

[Guanosoft]

@MELISSA84008 so u re one of the people who actually believe everything on the internet? i'll tell you what: i'll buy one of these things and rip it into pieces, then we'll see whats really behind it.

[MELISSA84008]

@Guanosoft ...did you look thru ALL their links ?!..or just stop after what i posted? "BIO-GENICA' 'company specializes in 'Genetic Engineering and Manufacturing'. Bioengineering is very real..although Adam Brandejs may have made/sculpted these particular ones..considering this is the companys business..i thought it was well worth looking into...maybe this little gimmick worked to fool ppl like yourself who just laugh it off at first glance..which helps cover up what they're REALLY doing!

[MarcusDuffy1]

@MELISSA84008 i suggest you focus on maters that are more openly known about. you seem to show quite passionately you desire to 'help the world' have a look at the videos online having to do with animal cruelty, the testing in labs,fishing and butchering industries that allow immense abuse to come animals of all kinds. THIS must be stopped. what if all you read about Bioengineering is really mean to distract YOU from ANIMAL ABUSE which is without a doubt real and unacceptable:o

[MarcusDuffy1]

@MELISSA84008 maybe it is all meant to have you looking like chicken little running around with his head chopped off while all the actualy physical problems in this world go un-looked at and completely accepted and allowed..

[MELISSA84008]

@Guanosoft ...heres one link on BIO-GENICAS website news(DOT)nationalgeographic(DO­T)com/news/2005/01/0125_050125­_chimeras.html 'Animal-Human Hybrids Spark Controversy' ..heres another link bio-genica(DOT)com/ They are obviously working on creating these! genpets(DOT)com/pressrelease01­.php

[Guanosoft]

@MELISSA84008 i took a look at the pressrelease site: it's from 2005, as pretty much everything i could find about Bio-Genica... i even looked for the "retail store" (867 Queen Street West, Toronto) on google streetview: it does not exist...

This whole thing is simply an art project to troll people like you,who blindly believe everything.

The Genpets where actually displayed several galeries, even in europe.

[OneGirl007]

@ilikestraberries REALLY? GO THE WEBSITE, IT'S NO JOKE. THESE ARE HUMAN AND ANIMAL DNA, AND THEY ARE REAL! OWN A PET FOR ONE YEAR LIFE SPAN OR THREE, THEN IT DIES! HOW AWFUL CAN THIS GET? YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THEIR CATALOG TOO. STILL THINK IT'S A RETARDS JOKE FOOL!

[LittleSugarMaus]

this is horrible!!! really horrible.. i hate humans for this!!!

[Buffy420]

This isn't right.

Teaching our children to keep animals in a glass bubble.

Next thing you know they have a bonsai kitty

[Elizabeth11112222]

they feed them stuff that makes them sleep forever and they are always alive till they die its reky sad

[lvl2saskue]

im suprised no religous group has been saying this company is playing "god"

[mejawmeyaw]

@lvl2saskue islam say this .. and no genpets in the middel east :D .

its forbidden in islam

[mhwarrior]

they don't exist dude, stop giving muslims a bad name by making rash statements, wikipedia it, its just an exposure hoax, ya3ni its not really, ure saying a joke is is forbidden in Islam. Learn more about something before you make claims buddy.

[mejawmeyaw]

@mhwarrior shtabi ?? mno kalamak ant ??? athleeeeef 010

[ahmed2fathy]

Tampered with, and not by creating Awabdaa but a distortion of the image of man created by God in the best pictures and whatever we will never reach to the creation of integrated God bless the Best of creators genetic engineering topic is very broad and complex, and like everything, the dark side and a silver lining

Fbengp genes can cure diseases and they can do a deformed ...?!

[baskerzeke]

they are actually art by Adam Brandejs made with latex and plastic with robotic circuitry to make them move. so really, they are neither toys or alive

[ridingisasport]

Im waiting fo rthem to make a kind that opens its eyes. Now THAT would be creepy.

[Zombietoots]

@baskerzeke No, they are real living breathing creatures. They just do not have brains. They don't have feelings either. They're clones. They're what you get if you mix different animal blood together!!!!! Ask EinsteinxtremeRoblox. He knows. JUST ASK HIM IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME! YOU SHOULDN'T INSULT THESE POOR GUYS BY CALLING THEM "UNALIVE"

[mhwarrior]

dude this an art project, a hoax of exposure by Adam Bandejs. the have robot circuitry on the inside to emulate the apparent slow breathing.

[Quusboy]

@baskerzeke thanks for telling me their not alive! I tend to belive every thing I see on youtub!

[baskerzeke]

@Quusboy haha no problem.  I try to research anything before I believe it. The internet is very misleading and full of false information.

[tamara2707]

@baskerzeke they are alive... unfortunatly ... The Genpet™ line-up pulls its basis from a natural1 stage of evolution in the market. Dolls and robotic toys quickly become tiresome, while traditional pets require a high level of upkeep. Genpets™ however, learn and adapt 2. They are living pets, but better, modified2 to be as reliable, dependable and efficient as any other technology we use in our busy lives.

[baskerzeke]

@tamara2707 Maybe you should learn to use google yourself. I'm not even going to argue with you. You obviously went to the website designed for this project to get your information. Do more research with reliable sources before arguing with every person that knows this is a hoax. You can even tell that it is electronic. Use that thing in your thick skull for once.

[god1234567891011]

These are not toys just to let u know that pack on the side is a heart moniter

[Darkmoon0999]

Wow cute, looks like aliens :D looks cool but perhaps it will get borinng.
