Giant Inflatable Toad Appears in Chinese Park - Neatorama

(Photo: Chen Boyuan/China.org)

Chen Boyuan of China.org reports that there is now a 22-meter (72 feet) tall inflatable toad in the lake in Yuyuantan Park in Beijing. Boyuan explains that the "Toad of Rejuvenation" is a Chinese cultural symbol that "brings blessings and fortune."

It also reminds visitors of Rubber Duck, a giant sculpture by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman. That yellow rubber duck was a huge tourist attraction in 2013.

Sometimes I feel like the only person that thinks talking animals like this are just creepy, not cute. Personally, I think it would have been ten times better with the animals just being cute and voiced over, rather than being digitally made to talk.

Just sayin, the post before this one is "Navy SEAL Blowin' Stuff Up!". Gotta love neatorama.

All this time I've been buying non talking kittens from pet stores when I could've got a talking one from a shelter?!

Is "companion animal" the new treehugger word for pet?

Aww, this made me cry. I usually don't like the whole talking animal thing (except for the guy who does it on youtube)... but the cute kitties w/ the adorable voices. Sigh.

"Companion animals" bugs me as well, so does the use of "feline" instead of cat. But, that being said, this little commercial made me pet my two shelter rescues and tell them I'm glad they are with me.
