Discounted Pleo Is Cheap Love

Pleo

Why would you get your kids a real live pet for Xmas when you could get them a robotic one called Pleo that doesn’t require feeding, won’t chew up your clothes, and has an off switch. Plus, it’s cuter. I swear. This thing is just horrifically adorable. And it’s now only $249 (that’s 100 off), from Amazon. Did I mention it communes with dolphins and fights Combots (sort of)? I’d like to see any actual pets try that.

If the thing was self charging, I would be all over it.
