[DESIGN WTF] CB2's "Mouse Pet"

So you live in New York City, which is the equivalent of paying millions of dollars to live on top of a trash pile. 

You see rats every day scurrying aorund on the subway tracks and you may or may not see a mouse hanging out in your dishrack when you're just trying to eat your breakfast before you go to work. 

So, that's why I don't understand why ANYONE would ever buy this stupid "Mouse Pet" from CB2 ($79.95).

Like, hey guys, if you want to pay me $80, I can give you the real thing.  Call me.

More ridiculous photos after the jump.
