Mum and Her Pet
We bought my mum a Webkinz as a gift a few months ago, because I knew she'd enjoy all the casual games.. Here she is showing us the garden her Webkinz is growing.
(And it should be said, when my mum told Joy that she had already earned a "Webkinz Crown of Wonder", Joy was shooting daggers at her for 5 minutes -- Joy's been trying for months to earn hers)

Dogbeard’s Bathtub Battle
Screw Second Life... the *real* leader in massively-multiplayer virtual worlds is clearly Webkinz. You may not be able to campaign for John Edwards, or purchase spunking cocks, but it's actually, y'know, fun!
Here we see my Webkinz (Russell the Pig) takes on Joy's (Barnaby the Lion) at "Dogbeard's Bathtub Battle".

Welcome to Webkinz
The big craze with some friends’ kids — A kind-of cross between Beanie Babies, The Sims and Second Life. Buy a cheap cuddly toy, register with the site, and bring it to life in a virtual world where you can play with it, buy it treats with pretend-money you have to “earn” and interact with your friends. Think I’ll buy one for Joy.
