Nemo is Omen backwards. Creepy or what? BTW how long has that baby been in the water? It’s eyes are covered in algae. Though maybe they were originally blue to match the ribbon the duck was strangled with, this is a craftsperson we’re dealing with after all.
It’d be a better product if it was one of those burn-down candles where you could “pull the baby to rescue!” after burning the candle for hours. You know, since you’ll probably fall asleep to your candle vigil after one too many xanax-and-bloody-mary cocktails.
You have a baby, don’t you know they have hidden orifices? How else would they make such spectacular messes if they couldn’t secretly ooze from the skin?
I think this needs to be marketed to people that want to support their friends but don’t like babies. Giving a gift with a baby that is drowing and then has a fire lit over it will make sure you are never asked to hold the twatdropping.
It’s the bubbles that make it particularly horrific. Obviously the last breath of life is just trickling out of its tiny body right now. If only you could reach it, you could save it.
The “candle” was so bad, I had to call my husband over to see it. His immediate response as he saw the picture was “ohmygod that’s horrible”, then he read Aprils comment and just starting laughing.
We agreed it was really gruesome and disturbing, but so terrible it was funny. Part of the discussion was exactly the “forever drowning aspect”.
Derp- that’s what I get for letting people interrupt me while commenting, I guess. Real-life interaction is so overrated. All kinds of mental errors going on there. Sorry!
Aaand it’s a very poorly done gel candle. You are supposed to coat porous objects or objects with reactive paint to PREVENT the bubbles. Any how-to on making gel candles will tell you that, so I’d also worry about the safety of this thing, if they used the right kind of wick or just any old kind they had on hand.
I with you, iamerror. That was truly funny in the macabre sort of way I enjoy. Of course, everyone here thinks my comments are mean, so take my praise with a grain of salt.
It’s the perfect gift for those mothers who give birth in public bathrooms and leave their babies in the toilet. For too long they’ve been a neglected niche when it comes to useless junk.
I don’t understand how noone seems to notice something is amiss. I’d think there would be stains on the dress and an exhausted girl with a puffy face or something. I over think sometimes.
I also love the type of gift that’s only useful for a short time after the occasion. That’s the kind of candleholder that would soon get relegated to the emergency blackout kit in my house …if it didn’t manage to make it to the bin.
Yeah, I love the expression on the duck’s face, especially since he’s staring right at the “Welcome” sign. Kind of a “Holy fucking shit, what did I do to deserve this?”
You know, I was just trying to figure out the perfect gift for my friend whose child was tragically killed in a gasoline fire while yachting. Perfect timing!
The perfect gift for the expecting wombyn. It captures the joy of water birth so well. Just imagine, all the meridians can flow freely and your bundle of joy is being welcomed into the world by the mighty mother ocean.

The drowning baby candle is the perfect way to say, “Congratulations, but I’m probably not the person you should be calling when you want last minute free babysitting.”
I did once see footage of a woman giving birth in the Black Sea, and dolphins did come over to see what was happening. They did not assist with the birth, but did nose the baby.
This is why people who give birth in the Black Sea are batshit crazy. I would have been holding the baby away from the dolphins, worried that they would eat it. This lady was delighted, holding it out for them.
For the record, they sniffed politely and then trailed the family around for a bit.
This was one of the first archive posts I saw when I discovered this haven for fat, jealous losers, and I laughed myself silly. I actually have a candle of this ilk that has shells in it, bought eons ago…somehow, it’s much more tasteful than a burbling, mostly-dead baby.
Just as I was scrolling down the page, this popped up and at the exact same moment, Mr. Krabs on SpongeBob screamed out “Noooo!!!! Not Davey Jones’ Locker!!!!” I about pissed myself!
August 20, 2011 at 9:31 am
Can’t someone throw that baby a life preserver?!?!!?

I was thinking an anvil. But I like the interaction of your billy club much better.
August 21, 2011 at 3:46 am
Hmmm… I’m pretty sure that this belongs on the poop deck…
August 20, 2011 at 2:40 pm
You wouldn’t carry a life preserver to a full submerged Christening would you? Just poor listing skills IMFFUJLO.

IMFFUJLO = In My Fucking Fat Ugly Jealous Loser opinion.

Oh for the love of Nemo…
August 20, 2011 at 9:47 am
Once at Costco, a member asked me where to find the stuffed Nemo toys. I told her they were (and this is true) by the Seafood Road Show.
Fortunately the wine is across from the sushi.
August 21, 2011 at 11:54 am

For a moment there I thought it was some sort of voodoo thing and the baby word confused me quite a bit.
August 20, 2011 at 9:35 am
I remember Fizzies, but I don’t remember them in babby flavor.
August 20, 2011 at 9:35 am
Is the baby made of Alka Seltzer tablets?
August 20, 2011 at 10:14 am
*plop plop fizz fizz* Baby Seltzer Plus.

But babies GIVE me a sour stomach and headache. I think you’re going to have trouble selling your product.
But it could probably make it to the Etsy front page.
August 20, 2011 at 3:47 pm
It’s about the same quality as Etsy’s front page items..
August 20, 2011 at 7:07 pm
I had to quit using Baby Seltzer. It gave me morning-after sickness.
August 20, 2011 at 9:35 am
So the baby is expulsing air from HOW many orfices? Including skin?
August 20, 2011 at 9:39 am
You have a baby, don’t you know they have hidden orifices? How else would they make such spectacular messes if they couldn’t secretly ooze from the skin?

Bill Cosby: “To feed a baby, just rub food all over it. It’ll suck in somewhere.”

If only it were in a toilet bowl rather than a fish bowl, it would look like an ode to prom night.

its been said before and I’ll say it again – there are NOT enough thumbs up for that Family Guy dumpster baby song.
Thanks you Aaron.
August 20, 2011 at 9:37 am
I think this needs to be marketed to people that want to support their friends but don’t like babies. Giving a gift with a baby that is drowing and then has a fire lit over it will make sure you are never asked to hold the twatdropping.
August 20, 2011 at 10:52 am
“Twatdropping”, my newly-stolen term for those screaming brats in Walmart crowding the damned school supplies section.
Thank you.
August 20, 2011 at 11:18 am
This is why I don’t go to Walmart and do all my shopping on Amazon.
August 20, 2011 at 11:35 am
When in Walmart, they are “crotch nuggets”.
August 21, 2011 at 12:27 am
Twatdropping is pretty good, but I still prefer “Fuck Trophy”.
I like to picture that the baby is slowly dissolving in acid. Because I know science and it will stop breeder friends from asking me to baby-sit.
August 21, 2011 at 4:56 pm
Fucktrophy FTW! That should annoy my baby obsessed FB friends nicely.
August 20, 2011 at 11:20 am
“Twatdropping” is now replacing “Cuntslop parasite” in my vocabulary.
August 20, 2011 at 11:52 am
And cuntslop parasite has replaced twatdropping in mine
Regretsy is such a vocabulary booster
August 20, 2011 at 9:37 am
Nothing says “Sorry about your stillbirth” like a plastic baby suspended in goo.
August 20, 2011 at 9:39 am
What the hell did they drown the baby in, acid?
Seriously. That’s a very bubbly baby.
August 20, 2011 at 11:02 am
It’s the bubbles that make it particularly horrific. Obviously the last breath of life is just trickling out of its tiny body right now. If only you could reach it, you could save it.
Nope.
Doomed to forever watch the baby drown.

I wonder if a drowning coat hanger would say congratulations better.

This will be my gift for the next baby shower. With any luck it will be my last invitation.

August 20, 2011 at 2:17 pm
They should give those out instead of condoms.
Or better yet an IQ test. High enough, you get a condom. Too low, you get a coat hanger.
I digress, best baby shower gift…EVER!
August 20, 2011 at 9:41 am
Throw in a dollar bill, and you’ve got your very own Nevermind candle. Nothing says “grunge” quite like this candle…
August 20, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Oh wow, a Stranglers username…and one of my favorites at that.
August 21, 2011 at 9:06 am
Dear Diacritical Snark, thanks for picking up on the reference! XD Your username is quite beautiful.
August 20, 2011 at 3:44 pm
Ha! I was thinking just take off the diaper and you’ve got the Nevermind cover.
August 20, 2011 at 9:42 am
Baby’s on fire
Better throw her in the water…
August 20, 2011 at 11:25 am
Rescuers row row
Do your best to change the subject
Blow the wind blow, blow
Lend some assistance to the object

Oh noooooooooooo…….!
August 20, 2011 at 9:48 am
That is just soooo….
so…
Yeah.
I didn’t even realize it was a candle at first, I was too horrified but the drowning baby…
All that’s keeping this from being perfectly terrifying is a few great whites.

This is kinda lame, I have no idea what Im doing.

Wow, don’t tell Moses about this.

Is it this guy’s baby?
