I wonder how long it will be before they make an Avatar Teddy Babe. So Ronery indeed. Ah, so the creepy thing is going to be ten feet tall and want to kill me for destroying it’s planet. Thanks for that idea. 😛 > [@Jragon](#): > > Full bathtub + red food coloring + boyfriend pillow. > > Just sayin’. Hmmmm… replace ‘bathtub’ with ‘plastic kiddie pool thing’, maybe throw in some severed body parts, and you’ve got a great Halloween decoration. ---

The part I find creepy is that it’s wearing an oxford shirt and has fingers. If it were just a little bit more utilitarian, it wouldn’t even be remarkable enough to comment. I’m surprised no one has mentioned Komiko, James Franco’s Japanese sex pillow from 30 Rock. “You’re being such a non-pillow right now!” ---
