RIP PLGs

Sad news, everybody. Please prepare yourself for some serious heartbreak...

Apparently, I have been duped by a stupid marketing ploy for that sneaky DirecTV. (BTW, it worked.) I regret to inform you that the petite lap giraffes which I featured in yesterday's Tiny Pets post are, in fact, not real after all.


I know, I know. I'm devastated as well. Upon further investigation, it turns out that I am the only person in the world gullible enough to actually believe in such a wonderful, miraculous creature. It seems as though everybody else immediately understood that it was all sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek. Well, well, well. Mybad for instantly falling in love with such a cute, little, adorable, tiny, cuddly animal!

So, first and foremost, I would like to apologize to you for carelessly spreading false information without doing more research of its validity. But more importantly, I want to super-apologize for causing any undo devastation that you are currently undergoing, as you sadly realize it was all a trick.

I, like you, do not think this is very funny, at all! Cruel, cruel joke, "sarcastic" marketing guys! (Or should I call them "Dream Killers"? ) It's not very nice to dangle something this spectacular in front of people just to snatch it right away from them! I honestly don't know if I'll ever recuperate from the heartbreak caused by this "joke." I may have to initiate a recovery group just to cope with the loss of the hope of one day seeing a petite lap giraffe in person.

Or...  OR... I'm very seriously considering simply choosing to continue believing that the sweet tiny giraffes do indeed exist and hapilly resume my dream of one day owning one. I mean, "real" is all in the eye of the beholder, right? Or something like that. Yeah. I think I like that idea better. I'm definitely gunna stick with that one.

Oh Mindy. You thought a tiny giraffe really existed. If only.

Internal optimism is always beautiful, just like you!!

Hahaha! I'm sorry, I just couldn't burst your bubble. I loved that you wanted one so badly! I thought they were adorable, too. I LOVE the fake website!

By the way, I really spent quite a while trying to decide if they were real or not. I resorted to refreshing the "giraffe cam" page over and over. Things just didn't add up. ;)

I didn't do any extra research. I just 100% believed you!! Not that it is your fault at all. Keep on believing girl. Who knows one day they really might have one?

I have a dog that's only 3 pounds... does that make you happy? You are welcome to let her sit in your lap anytime. :)

Laura said...

well, I was a little doubtful... those pictures looked too perfectly photoshopped :) However, if you brought it up again I'd probably believe you. They can clone sheep, why not create mini giraffes??

All I can say is wow... I've never seen such an extreme form of gullibility. You might should seek treatment.
