Yeah, real good "prank" there

I don't like banning stuff and being authoritarian, but seriously these should definitely be banned/illegal. It's fraud. Yeah it could be done for a joke, but it could also be done for deliberate and genuine fraud. I'm surprised there not illegal already, and disgusted.

I'm sure the guy who ends up on the hook with a psychopath is going to laugh and laugh...

I'm not even sure if this could be a joke in the innocent sense, either.

Forget about the extortion angle for a second and consider something like this being used in a more 'harmless' manner.

The guy now believes, and is ecstatic that he's going to be a father, and then has the rug yanked out from under him when he's told it's fake.

I can't see how this can be anything but horribly cruel in it's use, no matter how supposedly harmless the intent is.

In the right hands, it IS a great prank.

I'd trust my girlfriend completely with something like that, and if she'd pull that on me, we'd laugh over it for a while...

The problem is the potential for abuse. In the wrong hands, this is a problem.

That's insane. Where did you find it? This could only possibly be a 'joke' item if it said something silly that makes it obvious it's not real when you look closely, like those fake lottery tickets.

This is about as funny as fake cancer diagnoses or fake winning lottery tickets (depending on whether a pregnancy would be good or bad news for you).

its not illegal as stuff the effects guys doesnt seem to matter at all

Here's the company that makes it.

I feel like this is a man throwing a fake punch at a woman... shit ain't cool

Next thing you know, they're going to be selling "fake pregnancy bellies" for each trimester to go with it. This really needs to stop before these "pranks" get out of hand.

the-tominator · 2014-10-26T21:02:54+00:00

We could sell these that react with the piss to produce horrible brown fake diarrhea lumps to show the people that use it what their insides look like?

Oh come on... I'm pretty sympathetic to the MRA but this could be pretty funny. I thought it was feminists that didn't have a sense of humor.
