[EarlyDawn]

That needs to be illegal for so many different reasons.

[Giovanni]

That's just wrong.

For $250, Perserve A Life will affix a chemically treated swatch of your loved one's skin to a pillow.

[EarlyDawn]

Total lack of respect for the deceased.

[Infernus]

That is wrong... just... wrong...

[AztecWarrior]

Shoot them, all of them.

[Lise]

As I said, I'm still not entirely convinced this isn't parody. Ill-tasted parody, at that.

I mean, would any respectable newspaper publish this (http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/issues/2004-10-28/news/feature_6.gif) image?

Also, on page 8...

Though Governor Napolitano was away meeting once again with Mormon leaders in Utah -- this time for a conference titled "Bigamy Today: Bad Rap or Poor PR?" -- her press office issued the following statement to New Times:

"The Governor believes Preserve A Life will be a boon to the state's economy, and is glad to do anything to further ease their transition to the welcoming climate of the Valley of the Sun."

Note the bold section. That more than anything sets off my parody alarm.

This is the part where I come in and say:

Hello, I am NW and I can't make petrol explosives, will you buy me a trip to Preserve a Life HQ plz?

And then Hamma takes me there.

I...hate...that...article....grrr

[Sputty]

Ugggh
But!
Making it illegal is another issue that can't be done. It breaks no law, and all it does is violate our cultural norm.

[Lonehunter]

I suddenly have the urge to kill my grandma, so I can have her as a display in the living room...

[ORANGE]

if this is a joke it's already been done.....by the people of Jackass no less, and if it's real thats fking creepy

[MrPaul]

IMO there is now way in hell that that's real.

If it is I will be truly shocked.

Their doing it for gay marriages... I'm not saying it's right but if that can be rendered illegal I think stuffing your kid full of straw and using him as a table can be too.

[Liquidtide]

Human Taxidermy, whoa disturbing. Talk about not being able to let go.

[Hamma]

Those people must be destroyed,

[Mr1337Duck]

Reminds me of "Grandparents are Forever" GTA: VC.
