Clifford Dog Clothing

The pet industry in the States is massive and bigger than the toy industry. Think about that. Bigger than Elmo, Barbie, Bratz, and Raggedy Ann put together. Fido gets treats, toys, clothing, and other anthropomorphic assignations that would never jibe in nature.

Sega Toys gets into the pet craze with something called "Clifford Dog Clothing" which is meant to be affixed to a long-suffering spirited pooch. The photo from Sega Toys shows a dog shirt, dog drawers, and what looks like a mongrel mounting the dog from behind. We're not sure what Sega intended with the Clifford Clothing but it looks suspect. Very suspect. In any case, preorders ship in mid-late May 2007 at US$29 per Clifford outfit.
