I'm sorry, this is very wrong to do. If you think it's a pest, kill it without making it suffer but don't make any living thing your plaything while you kill it. This is the sign of a sick society, or at least a sick mind.

Interesting, but I don't think it'll ever get off the ground.

do you really want your product to be associated to stuff stuck to a fly?

Companies have chosen to be associated with things that are a lot stranger. All depends on the company and the demographic they want to hit.

Your right, I just didn't see the possibilities.
