    whoever can laugh about this, sucks.

    • bug says:

      I suck.

      -also, someone should tell Great Britain about this idea. I hear they’re being overrun by American grey squirrels, to the point that their native red squirrels are endangered.

      • Anna Rexia says:

        As much as I hate the destructive little bastards (American gray squirrels), there is a bit of ick factor going on here. I’m all for ridding them from areas where they’ve been brought into, such as Great Britain, where they were never supposed to be and are decimating existing populations. Some animals steal away on board cargo vessels, while others are escapees that some idiots tried to make pets of.

        • Apache says:

          It’s stow away on board. Not “steal away”. lol word fail!

          • Sushi Mufasa says:

            Really? Who cares if it’s misuse of a word- the point was made and it was interesting to read (unlike your little gambit). You just made a fool out of yourself.

      • Bob says:

        This is a British idea. Brew Dog’s “End of History” Beer (55% alcohol).

      • Hex says:

        its a Scotish company that has done it. a company called Brewdog
        the best bit is the beer is 55% gotta love beer that is stronger than most vodka. :)

    • G. says:

      I concur.

    • wozzle says:

      You’re right.
      The best that can be said about this is that it’s in extremely poor taste, and that’s being ‘way too kind.

  2. Bashnagdul says:

    This is brilliant.
    i have some vegan naturalist hippy chain self to tree friends. i would give this to them for their birthday if it was affordable.
    the look on their faces would be just awesome :D

    also since everyone around me knows i have a VERY sick sense of humour :P

    • wozzle says:

      Gosh, I feel sorry for your alleged friends. If you’d really do something like that to a “vegan naturalist hippie”, then you have no respect for them, and therefore aren’t really their friend.
      Seems to me that stuff like this would be upsetting to anyone with a reasonable amount of sensitivity, regardless of their lifestyle.

      • gish says:

        If they’re his friend’s, then they already know his sense of humor and approve of it. You see the “vegan naturalist hippie” trying to spread their ideals to other people, yet when the table is turned and a meat-eater pushes his ideals, he’s suddenly a bad guy. Damn bleeding hearts don’t realize that they themselves act fascist by pushing their ideals and demonizing those who push in another direction.

  3. Huntly says:

    This is for a beer that is 55% ABV and runs about $1000 a bottle.

  4. cedr says:

    Correction! Those are stoats. Also, the beer is called “The End of History”. Those facts should in no way lessen the WTF.

  5. arnemart says:

    That is the latest beer/PR-stunt from the scottish brewery BrewDog — The End of History, a 55% ABV beer packaged in squirrels and stoats. The animals are roadkill, and were not killed to end their lives as bottles.

    http://www.brewdog.com/blog-article.php?id=341

  6. o says:

    It is Brew Dogs newest 55% beer, “The end of history”.

  7. spotter says:

    This is disgusting.

  8. Melissa says:

    yeah, seriously I don’t get grossed out by anything really….I watch Dr.G and monsters inside me…..but this this is just disgusting

  9. Gerbilzilla says:

    The makers of that “world’s strongest beer” who put the bottles in the animals, actually said the animals died of natural causes. So, it’s not exactly cruel. They see it as a celebration of the animal.

  10. Xopher says:

    OK, I’m not a PETAphile, in fact I hate them as a boar hates dogs, but this is really disgusting. Not cute, not funny, not “celebratory of the animal,” just fucking gross.

  11. Geisha_Girl says:

    Taxidermy is disgusting. Why on earth would someone want these in his/her home unless it was just another way to show how proud you are of being rich? Seriously? You can’t find another expensive car or something, you have to resort to roadkill with bottles stuffed down their throats? I’m not a PETA person either, but this is just egregious.

    • Shadowheart says:

      Agreed. This is just ridiculous and disgusting, and pisses me off in so many ways u cant even imagine…

  12. Humm. says:

    I don’t really get all these people being so disgusted by this… I mean, someone complained this isn’t funny: these aren’t supposed to be funny pictures, but instead WTF pictures. This works great as one. Have you people seen a stuffed animal before? If you have, then this isn’t disgusting. The bottle thing is just brilliant in a way. Those animal skins may work a bit similarly to vacuum flasks, and at least even the cold beer won’t be cold to your hand. Sure, I might not want to drink from a bottle like that, but I wouldn’t really mind it or at least I wouldn’t find that disgusting.

    • tereglith says:

      Plus, squirrel pelts are pretty soft. You can pet your glass when you’re not drinking from it! It would only get freaky when it came to drinking from it and the squirrel/stoat was staring at you.

      I think that a fur-coated thermos (sans head, paws, and tail) would actually be the way to go with this idea. “It kept squirrels warm in the winter – now it’ll do the same for your coffee!”

  13. Karl says:

    The only reason this is funny because it’s so f***ing wrong and strange… It’s recycling taken to the extreme

  14. Lurkur says:

    Disgusting. I don’t approve.

  15. spudwalt says:

    That’s… actually kinda horrifying…

  16. poco says:

    That’s pretty gross.

    It’s definitely WTF, but still… that’s pretty gross.

  17. Tarnation says:

    I can’t believe people have a problem with stuffing roadkill and using them as beer cozies. These animals weren’t killed and stuffed they died of natural causes. Peta has nothing to see here there is no animal cruelty at work.

  18. ai says:

    Would be better if it was a stuffed human.

    • wozzle says:

      Well, we are rather worthless as a species, but still….

      I was thinking that they could have had attractive bottles molded in various shapes — animal, human, whatever. Not only would that have been an acceptable alternative to their revolting dead-animal-covered containers, it might also have allowed them to charge less per bottle, but of course, they wouldn’t want to do that.

  19. Ferret-X says:

    Okay, now that’s just wrong. Funny. But wrong.

  20. Mel says:

    Its funny cause the makers of “The End of History” are known for making beer for their “WOW” factor, for stretching the limits. All you who think this is horrific, wrong, cruel, whatever….you just helped them succeed. Personally, I think this is unique and interesting…I have no strongs thought either way

  21. Kelly Ann says:

    Whoever said it’s not necessarily supposed to be funny is totally right. This is a COMPLETELY WTF picture, and it’s the very first thing I said when I saw it.

    I don’t even really have a problem with it. And yes, I’m a vegetarian who can’t bear the thought of even hitting an animal with my car. Animals die, and people do weird shit to them so I’m not surprised.

  22. Mister Dictionary says:

    Yes, as a matter of fact, I DO think this is awesome. … And I don’t drink alcohol.

  23. Bob says:

    Is this any weirder than regular taxidermy where people stuff their pets after they’ve died? Some people put them in suits and stage it like a wedding scene (I think that is very strange myself). These guys turned them in to bottle covers.

    Fact is they use roadkill so no animals were purposefully killed to make this product.

    Of course, some people might think it’s wrong to have the skins of the animals turned in to objects you put on your hands or feet but no-one has ever called leather shoes or leather gloves “disgusting”…?

    Can’t say I think it’s cool but it’s interesting how people react to this.

    • OboeNinja says:

      Those taxidermied-pet people scare me. A friend of mine in elementary school had parents who seemed like perfectly ordinary people, but one day we went over to his house, and I saw a stuffed cat on the mantel dressed like Sherlock Holmes. Needless to say I did a total 180 right back out the door, and never looked back. It freaked me out so bad.

    • Jimmylou says:

      That’s just because that kind of people can’t deal with their pet’s death. Either they become sarcastic, to make “a joke out of it”, or they start to hate animals, to make them forgett their pain. It’s so much easyer to cry about it and burie your 4 year friend. Belive me, it is.

  24. Sage says:

    OMG TT_TT

  25. joe says:

    It’s a beer and it’s called…..oh wait, it was already said…FIFTY MILLION FKNG TIMES!

  26. IceColdTroll says:

    Yeah, I’m not a PETA freak, and I’m not even bothered by taxidermy as such — I don’t hunt, but if I did I could certainly see having a few trophies hung up on the walls. But this is neither a trophy display nor celebratory — in its own way, it’s even worse than the old elephant-foot umbrella stands. Just a squirrel, but eat it or mount it on a branch, or bury the damn thing. Making a shock-value toy out of it is just crass.

  27. Snippi says:

    Doesn’t anyone else think of the Janitor from scrubs when they see this?

  28. Matt says:

    I can laugh about it

  29. OboeNinja says:

    I’d NEVER be able to force myself to drink something if I knew it was coming out of one of those. I know, I know, they’ve been sterilized, and the beverage would be contained in a glass bottle inside the carcass, and would never actually come into contact with the insides of the animal, blah, blah, blah… But still, the mental image would ruin it for me, regardless of the facts. And no, I’m not a PETA fanatic, but still…

    Blech.

  30. ThePhread says:

    Lol my dad sent me this pic and I’ve got it on my phone. Bleh, somewhat disgusting…

  31. ScottishAdam says:

    I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned this, but Brewdog make fucking awesome beer. Regardless of the dead animal it’s served in. They do a very nice line of stout aged in single malt whisky barrels.

  32. Ululain says:

    hey mate, this sucks.
    seriously, s u c k s
