Remember when Barbie was a big deal?

Last week, I watched a movie called "Lars and the Real Girl".  Great flick starring Ryan Gosling.  If you haven't seen or heard of it, check it.  Very interesting concept.  Basically, it is the story of a man who has a serious relationship with a RealDoll, treating "her" like an actual person and his companion.  Now, I'd forgotten about RealDolls over the years.  I'd initially heard about them through HBO's "Real Sex".  Reading that sentence, if you didn't know what a RealDoll was, well, you have a pretty good idea now; and you're seriously thinking about renting "Lars and the Real Girl" this weekend.  

Real Dolls are state-of-the-art life-size dolls with durable, poseable skeleton and silicon flesh designed to recreate the female form.  Clients have the dolls created to their personal specifications and desires.  Extremely creepy.  

But it gets creepier.  Check this out:





People never cease to amaze me.
