Beating a Dead Horse

Posted by Helen Killer 26 comments

What the hell is this thing? A dead goat with a corn cob glued to its head? A flocked donkey carcass stuffed with old copies of Martha Stewart Living? Maybe it’s a stillborn pony on a giant tostada. Whatever it is, it’s horrible. It doesn’t even have any eyes, for God’s sake. It’s like something out of The Cell, only not as cheery.

OH MY GOD. The commentary is so funny I almost injured myself laughing. I haven’t laughed that hard in weeks.

Thank you Helen Killer. I think I love you.

This is actually sort of cool. The unicorn is made from a stillborn black lamb, and it does have eyes etc.
It looks much better in the photbucket pictures.

If I weren’t creeped out by taxidermy, I’d like it.

I cried at this. I cried! What the hell is being used as the “unicorn”’s mane and tail?

And since when do unicorns go “maaaaaaahhh?”

@El’s Bells – I totally agree. Now it’s just nightmare material.

That is the most disturbing item on etsy I have ever seen (besides all the vaginal stuff)…that poor animal. YUCK. Who on Etsy would want that item? Elmer Fudd?
Helen Killer, your posts are hilarious and fyi, I only watched “The Cell” once and it grossed me out so I get what you mean!

I am only upset that there is only 1 in stock. I would like a package deal so I can put them on either side of my front porch to keep people away from my house and trying to bother me.

So it’s an Astrakhan unicorn? The clove-cigarette smoking, late teenage me would have been ecstatic.

WTF? A black unicorn? If a black unicorn is made from a black lamb (future black sheep), does this mean it’s a Dark Side unicorn? If a traditional unicorn can only be approached by a virgin, who can approach a black unicorn? The mind boggles. I started thinking along these lines when you mentioned THE CELL…

Dear god that’s creepy. Like those realistic dead babydolls, I’m not sure whether it’s more disturbing that the product exists or that there’s a market for it.

From the profile, why does this bother me so much?

“I am happy to mount something for you in a pose that you request. I have several squirrels available, and as of mid-April, the white wool lambs are coming available. I also have a few black or black and white haired lambs that I can mount as per your request, and I have some goats as well. *It can take from 2-4 weeks for me to fill a custom order.”

Imagine if you walked into somebody’s house and they owned this? I would be backing towards the door slowly and making up an excuse.

“Yea, I have to go because…I need to read a bedtime story to my stuffed goat pegasus. See ya…”

I just got so queasy I can’t shake it. I can’t believe this qualifies as a “hand made item”. So crafty. ICK, UGH.

These are so horrible. I flagged a bunch of them. It’s horrible, creepy, ugh. And people have hearted them, I’m tempted to look to see who, but it’s so awful.
21# I would be running out the door if I saw one of those in someones house. And I imagine whoever has one is so proud and has it displayed with their other hundreds of unicorns made of resin, dryer lint, old chewing gum and may be thinking of getting their old cat turned into a unicorn when it kicks the bucket.
