Now children can get their "creep" on!
webkinz! the new plush animal craze (there is a new one every year or two) is here and they are taking their product further than any stuffed animal has been. webkinz are stuffed animals that you can purchase at various retailers, and they come with a number tag around their neck. the owner can, then, go to www.webkinz.com and register the doll, give it a cute name, customize a room for it, feed it, play with it, etc. the creepy part is that kids can invite other kids into their room to play together. as if we haven't been warned enough to keep children from the internet. neither here nor there, these webkinz are taking over! from a pop culture aspect, webkinz are just the latest popular plush collectible, similar to trolls/beanie babies/bratz/etc. Webkinz havea one up on the previous products though, the interaction. which i think will make it the most widespread, and popular fluff-movement ever.

Actually the nice thing about webkinz is that you have you to knowthe person outside of the webkinz website to become their friend because you have to know their username and both sides have to agree to the friendship(which is a big selling factor with parents) another thing about it is you can't send any message you want. There are preprogrammed messages you can choose from. So really, on the "creepy" scale, webkinz is nothing compared to say neopets, facebook or myspace.
