The creepiness probably has more to do with their color choice and cut out triangle than the shape of it. Their model makes it look more sinister than a ball with ribbons taped on to it.
For me, though, it gets disturbing when you think about how many people are killed by what's on your screen.
I thought it looked cuddly.
I did not downvote you, but man, you are different.
I wouldn't use the word "cuddly" to describe it, but the texture did remind me of a plush doll.
