Do androids dream of.... electric carp???

Is it just me, or has the world suddenly developed and unhealthy obsession with electric animals? Be it robo-dogs from Sony that go "wrrr, wrrr, wrrrr", robot sharks that keeps aquarium visitors enthralled, or now, robot carp. I thought it was bad enough to work in an office where they don't even have real plants - there's something decidedly creepy about recycling dead trees, in the form of oil, back into plastic trees. But now I have to contemplate the true reality that the fantasy portrayed in Phil K. Dick's novel "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" might actualy come to pass.
