And all that it entrails

With an absurdly outrageous story about a stuffed animal making news these days, perhaps we ought to take a look at an absurd stuffed animal story for some relief.

There's a new line of plush toys coming out called Road Kill Toys. (The company's website is under construction.) First in the series is Twitch.

The first to be launched is Twitch the Raccoon which comes complete with its own body bag to keep the maggots out, reports Metro.

Twitch also has an identity tag revealing it was "run over over by a milk float last Thursday, near the Hangar Lane Giratory system in London".

A zip on each side of the toy allows the owner to remove Twitch's innards and stuff them back in again. A tyre print runs across its back.

I suppose my (nearly) 9 year old would enjoy these, he's a boy.

There are more mashed mammals on the way

Coming soon are other characters including Grind the rabbit, Splodge the hedgehog and Pop the weasel.

And if that didn't spoil your appetite, you might want to try the Road Kill Cafe.
