"The Corrective Party are shocked, horrified, spindled, folded and otherwise outraged at the twist that genetic modification has taken in the United States- namely, GM babies. We can now reveal that these babies were not the first of their kind..." Sister Pontificata of the Stupendous Genuflection remonstrated today, in front of a powerpoint CyberNun display unit.

"You see before you Baby Cha-Cha of Ally McBeal infamy. What, you thought it was a mere computer generated image of a cute dancing infant??! Not so, for we now have illicit footage of the self-same baby engaging in wanton spiked orange juice abuse, full-frontal nudity, shameless micturation, attacking other babies and other depraved behaviour!!!"

"The lesson is clear. Science has gone horribly wrong, and the fruit of our loins has metamorphosed into a raving nut instead!!!"
