Sometimes, capitalism really is just the best.
In one of the all-time examples of being in the right market at the right time, a website that specializes in making stuffed animals out of tiny microbes has seen their sales of a stuffed Ebola microbe skyrocket in the wake of the virus’ outbreak in Western Africa. For just $9.95, you too can own your very own Ebola without having to suffer through all the nasty side effects like violent diarrhea and death.
Plus, just think of all the hilarious jokes you can play on your friends and family. “I have Ebola,” you’ll say as everyone around you freaks out, only to watch them break into uproarious laughter as you show off your new plush friend. Basically, there’s no reason not to get one.
And hey, while you’re at it, you can grab sassy chlamydia and whimsical rubella too.
