[Ha Ha Thats Very Logical]

I don’t understand why this is news. We’ve had Realdolls in this country for years. A movie about a depressed guy who has a relationship with one came out in 2007 (”Lars and the Real Girl,” actually a very sweet movie, as the people in his town treat “her” with kindness and respect, and there’s no sex involved). And a British documentary the same year (”Guys and Dolls,” aka “Love Me, Love My Doll”) takes a somewhat sympathetic look at some of the men who buy these things.

I’m not defending them, mind you, and I agree that Japan’s pretty kinky. It’s just that this is hardly a new thing.

Thanks for giving Lars and the Real Girl a plug. I liked it too.

I doubt many of us are naive enough to think this is something new. Although forward march of technology and craftsmanship is impressive. LOL

And it makes for an entertaining thread that is a little less doom and gloom than most of what is in the news.
