There are words or phrases that get thrown around too often IMO.    And I'm as guilty as anyone else.  The biggest of this category are:  "awesome," or "GOAT."  Let's be honest, very few things are truly awesome or the-greatest-of-all-time.

Another of these words is "creepy."  Very few things are truly creepy.  That being said, THIS IS CREEPY!

Allergic to pets?  NO PROBLEM

Pets not allowed where you live?  NO PROBLEM

Need an emotional support pet to fly, but not allowed anymore?  NO PROBLEM

Meet "Qoobo."

It's a freakin' furry cushion with a moving tail.  Imagine a dog or cat with no arms or legs or head, yet fully alive.  It's described as a "robot with a tail that heals your heart."

I know, right?  CREEPY!

In fact, the only thing creepier than owning a Qoobo is realizing that someone put together this commercial and found it not disturbing whatsoever.
