I saw some segments from the BBCAmerica show, and those people freaked me out. They seriously need help.

And they’re not alone, by a long shot. If you look on eBay, there’s TONS of stuff for Reborn dolls on there. The dolls themselves are hundreds or thousands of dollars. What’s really freaky is the auctions for doll parts. Gyuh.

Hey! One of them was South Asian, so they’re not all pasty. Everything else you said was accurate.

I will admit that I watched the one about the two women who were basically starving themselves to get into size zero jeans (one was a reporter doing an “experiment” and the other was a genuinely disturbed person). But the ads for some of the others drive me crazy — like is it so shocking that people have transgendered parents?

I didn’t even realize there was one about sex dolls. And you know what I want to see even less than socially-retarded freaks with sex dolls? Pasty, British, socially-retarded freaks with sex dolls.

That BBC America series is my favourite. I watched the one about the men and their RealDolls, and it was amazing how much of the things those dudes said about their sex dolls was exactly echoed by the women on 20/20 about their baby dolls.

There was a whole show about these dolls on BBCAmerica (part of their “everyone in the world is a freak” series of documentaries). I never watched it, but saw the ads — I just assumed it wasn’t really as bad as they made it out to be (because most of their ads are much more dramatic than the so-called freaks about which they make these shows).

There was a similar segment on 20/20 about people who adopt monkeys and then raise them as children, with parties and outfits and bedrooms, etc. And then are somehow totally surprised on that fateful day when the monkey mauls them.

One day, this slightly crazy looking dude came up to me when I was pushing my sleeping baby in her pram and said “is that a doll or real?” At the time, I thought “Yes it’s a doll, because adults go around pushing prams with a life-sized fucking doll in it.” So, slightly crazy-looking dude, I stand corrected and apologise sincerely for thinking you were nuts. Which you clearly were, but a stopped clock and all that.

Oh. My. Goodness. That was hands down the most disturbing thing I’ve seen in some time. I don’t know which part was more disturbing, watching those women take these dolls shopping, and throwing parties for them; or when they showed the close-up of the dollmaker putting the baby parts IN THE OVEN to bake.
So creepy.
