Perfect Polly

From the world of As Seen on TV comes the best invention since sliced roadkill.  Ladies and gentlemen, we give you: PERFECT POLLY!


Perfect Polly is by all intents and purposes "perfect."  If by "perfect" you mean that you're spending $15 on a plastic piece of crap that looks like something you could by at the Dollar Store for that special someone that deserves nothing but the best.  If by "best" you mean a clear sign that you don't get a rat's ass about them. 




There are seams on its neck!  The feathers aren't even real feathers!  The most annoying thing about having a parakeet is the CHIRPING and THAT'S one of the main features of owning Perfect Polly.  So you're going to make Perfect Polly chirp, but I don't have to feed it, clean it or water it, but I DO have to listen to its chirping. It's the saddest excuse for a "pet" and the feathers are clearly designed by somebody who has never seen a parakeet in their life.  How about you take that sound chip out of that piece of plastic and add some "life-like" FEATHERS?!   And, what kind of frickin' person designed this to only make this "life-like" bird twitch to the left?!  What is it doing, watching a NASCAR marathon?!  

If Perfect Polly is the "perfect pet," then Barbie is the perfect mini over-achiever; Tonka is the perfect automobile manufacture; Dora the Explorer is the perfect destination vacation guide; and, an Easy Bake Oven belongs in every model kitchen.

Listen, I get that everyone wants to make a buck, but I'd rather you just go ahead a pick my pocket.  At least then you've gotten something past me.  But to blatantly attempt to take me as a sucker... I am offended. and so is every feather-having parakeet.  If all you're going to do is buy a piece of crap that just makes noise, feed it to your fire pit.  

Life-like...we think not.
