Dude, it’s a must buy

Kuggs These are clearly going to be under the tree of every Mac geek this December. These “Kuggs” are cute toys that have an… interesting background. From the website:

Kuggs are cute little beings that are being oppressed. Oppressed you say? Yes - oppressed. What??? How? Why? Well, let me tell you the story, boys and girls… From the day they are born, each little Kugg is given a colored armband with a barcode to determine what their job is when they grow up. They are also stamped with an expiration “date” which is indicated by the letters PIS (Processed In System) and followed by a number (showing the productive years left to work.) So from the start, each little baby Kugg’s fate has already been determined.

Once they reached to certain age, they will be forced to work in order to survive. But who forces them to work? Ahh… I forgot to mention the Kuggs are “ruled” by the “privileged” few - The Bagless. The Bagless are rich and greedy beings that provide the Kuggs with jobs to do. The Bagless pay them just enough for them to survive, therefore making certain the Kuggs can never get ahead.

Um. Yeah. Anyway, one of the dolls looks like Steve Jobs and another looks like his arch nemesis Bill Gates. You could so totally make them fight and make zip zap noises. Awesome.

These are really cool. I can't find any place to buy them though.

Look in the Kugg pics--the names of the ones you pointed out are, in fact, Kates and Joggs. Bona-fide parody!
