Exactly HOW Lifelike Are We Talking?????

We have a registry for sex offenders and we can look them up whenever we want and see where they live and how many there are close to us and we can get all up in arms about that. This is a good thing, right? Fine. Then in that same sense, there needs to be a register for people who buy those creepy ass "lifelike" baby dolls out of the Sunday paper inserts. (Probably for those who buy the bras and elastic-waist pants, too, but those really aren't hurting anyone other than somebody else's love life.) Everytime I see these ads in the paper it scares the bejeezus out of me and I want to hide in my room and never leave. I worry that I hear these eerie little dolls in the corners of my room at night and I thank GOD that I have sons and not daughters who might accidentally see one of these and want one. (SHUDDER!!!!!!!!!)

Who the HELL is the weirdo buying those dolls? I think it's completely unfair that I could get invited to someone's house one day and out of nowhere get asked if I want to see their baby. I'll say sure, because you can't ever say no, even if you can't stand the thought of having to ooh and aah over some ugly baby. But what will really, really piss me off is if they bring out one of those "so realistic" dolls. I am talking going batshit on this person. Who is really the target market for these creepy things? People who can't have children and sit around with their fake baby pretending until the chance presents itself to steal someone's REAL baby. THAT'S who the target market is, and I don't think we should encourage them. If it costs 3 easy payments of $19.99, it's not a real baby. You are, however, a really warped person and you need to be institutionalized or put on a "I bought a fake baby" national registry so people know to stay the hell out of your house and keep their real kids (ugly or not) away from your baby-snatching creepy hands.
