Is this serious? This is absolutely absurd....they're calling the baby "Ichi the killer", and it's going to have

"saucer eyes"
"pinhole mouth"
"anorexic body"

and will have to wear sunglasses constantly? what the hell???

This has to be some kind of joke... It's just got to be...

If this was done in the UK the right wing pro-life anti-genetic modification troops would have found and burned the lab to the ground with all inside including the baby. Hang on I can see a crank handle in the back! Wink

[EDIT]for spelling.

Look at the date in the actual article. 2014. It's a joke site.

O.o


I screamed when I saw that thing....to tell the truth it looks closer to a Hummuncul or a Chimera from FMA. O.o

This has to be a joke right?

The scariest thought is what if some crazy otaku actually BUYS the thing. O.O

EDIT: *sigh of relief* Just saw Asuka's post. No manga babies for us.

Thank God (and everyone else for that matter) that it was a joke! That thing was beyond scary!

Yeah, he's only 100 years behind. Laughing

This was probably Onion-worthy content in how the writer's tounge got firmly lodged in his cheek.

I figured it was a prank. But I was horrified by the image nonetheless...

I was just about to say something about homunculi/chimearas. I have to admit this scared me at first, and then I realized, wait...why hasn't this been in Science News, TIME, etc...? I would've seen it. *breathes sigh of relief*

Honestly, that thing really was scary to look at. Though there was no way in hell something looking like that would be born and live to see the next day.
