Just in case you aren’t terrified by the little gremlin dolls I previously posted about, there’s now a sweater that combines queasy fashion-sense with the appearance of genetic mutation – and it’s only 80 bucks. What a bargain!

Behold, the horror that is… Peekaru.

Originally I thought this was just some April fool’s gag product, like ThinkGeek’s (awesome!) tauntaun sleeping bag. Unfortunately, this thing is real and you’re likely to see it on a soccer mom near you. Nothing says MILF like the appearance of your semi-formed offspring fused to your body and tarted up with a crappy (but pricey) flannel smock. I’m dieing to see this combined with leather pants and leopard print heels. And $80? Are you shitting me? Stupidity is apparently expensive.

At least the original incarnation of the baby sling, used for thousands of years, wasn’t frightening to look at. Leave it to suburban hipster mom-culture to take something simple and elegant and turn it into a fashion trend that will turn your stomach.
