Just imagine being in the group of decision makers on that one... I can see one jacka$$ saying, "well... we need to reinvent the pet rock... give me ideas people!!!" Some other jackwad could say, "I know!!!! We need a Paris Hilton style pet caddy!!!!"
I'm sure due to the "success" of this item that they'll expand to some "bling" like Cubic Zirconia encrusted bag, but they'll probably call it Diamond-bag!
:-D

Think about it perhaps this way: you get a nice, smooth pet to caress, don't have to feed it, don't have to change "cat litter", and it's really easy to take for a walk. Also, it doesn't bark at you or your neighbours, or tear apart your furniture when you're not looking ;-)
Seasonal Cheers,

If you got rocks & mouse hides for furry rocks for winter it could be the new, better thing ;-)

"LOL", but, It will be sold out !
Just a matter of advertisement and finding the right business target...

Your rock will wake up with a headache. Or even worse, it could get cancer from the waves.:-D
A pity it's sold out.
