Making the rounds at feminist blogs today are these cookie cutters shaped like fetuses. Some say they're repulsive and inappropriate. Others say they just make the perfect addition to a baby shower. Either way, it is pretty strange to sit down and eat a baby. It makes the age old cookie question -- do I eat the head of the animal cracker first, or make it suffer by eating its backside -- all the more poignant. Personally, I'm thinking as long as these aren't served at any pro-choice rallies, the world is probably fine.
However, fetus cookies got me thinking: there must be tons of inappropriate cookie cutters out there, just waiting to be turned into treats that will horrify your friends and family this holiday season, right? Right, says Craftzine.com, where you can learn to make your own cookie cutters. It's possible I'm the only one in the world psyched about this, but how cool! The example they give is us of a camel, but forget that. Camel cookie cutters already exist. I want squid cookie cutters. Or mutilated war hero cookie cutters. Or even organ cookie cutters. Yes, I want to make a spleen cookie. It will be delicious. You could make one, too!
