I'm not quite sure why I'm perpetuating this product idea, but now you can buy a toy dead animal. These aren't just dead though; they're roadkill - with popping eyes and exposed intestines.

RoadkillToys.com is the proud creator and seller of these dark-humor (at best) play things. Give them credit though on their creative marketing idea for such a strange item. Check out this commercial that is just as disturbing as the product.

Implications - RoadkillToys.com is an unusual company because they pride themselves on making toys with a twist. Their sense of humor is decidedly dark, and the the idea of using toys that have been run over by a car is off-putting to many, but they deserve credit for sheer ingenuity and originality.
