It's almost Halloween, which means it's almost Thanksgiving, which means it's almost Christmas, so you'll need to start buying gifts yesterday. Why not consider one of these lovely road kill plush toys for little Timmy or Suzie?

Road Kill makes a selection of plush toys which aren't exactly as cute and cuddly as the traditional teddy bears and puppy dogs. These have been "run over" in what the company calls "Squash-Plush," portraying the familiar road side carnage of furry little animals that stepped into the path of traffic. Perhaps as amusing as the concept and the execution is that each toy has a little story explaining just what happened. [Road Kill]
