If I bring one to the next book signing at Anderson's in Naperville -- dressed as Elvis, of course -- could I get Dave to sign it?

As if Bieber wasn't creepy enough...
Speaking of him, we were in Macy's on 34 Street yesterday and there is a life-size cutout of the Bieb inside the entrance hyping his "scent."

You can "choose" for it to have a 1-year or 3-year lifespan.
Great way to teach kids to dump future (real) pets or partners every few years or so.

Also not a hoax at al!

wikipedia claims it's a hoax: "Genpets are a mixed media installation art piece by artist Adam Brandejs. It is considered a hoax of exposure." (I in-lined the artist's link.) And note that the media exposure was back in 2006-2008.
