I've seen microscopic entities blown up out of proportion and made fluffy enough times before, but these hand-crocheted 'HIV virus' toys are something else! They're even wearing red AIDS ribbons, so are clearly on a suicide mission, too. Is this bad taste? I can't decide...
Before you make up your mind one way or another, I should probably also say that these little cuties are actually being sold for charity: 33% of the $3 sale price of each item will be donated to Blood:Water Mission, a non-profit organization with a goal to provide clean water and blood and to support health care facilities in the face of this crisis in Africa. You can buy one on Etsy. What say you?
