I think I first saw an article about these (Probably BoingBoing or someplace like that) about four years ago. The photo shown then of the poor single salaryman lying with his head in this disembodied fake lap, was surprisingly affecting, he looked so desperately lonely and sad.
Part of my comment got cut off. I meant to say "Is this Japanese?" And I'm not generalized, I'm joking, just from all the .... odd manga and anime I've seen.
"Now you can lay your head in the lap of a beautiful and caring woman even if you're home alone."
That is one of the saddest things that I've read in recent memory. It reminds me of the experiment with the baby monkeys that pick the soft, terrycloth fake mommy over the wireframe one that has the milk.
Incredible.

This may be a strange product but so is generalizing an entire nation, its culture and its people based on junk for sale on the Internet, Ncscoop.

One can't really tell whether said "girlfriend" is wearing a really short skirt or only a pair of pantyhose.
ReplyDeleteI think it could work as a joke. You gotta accept it is funny.
