And I thought that The Brothers Quay did creepy things with dolls

And they do of course. But, as creepy as the dolls utilised by the good brothers themselves undoubtedly are, they are not as creepy as Reborn dolls which are really very creepy indeed.

Well, I say that they're creepy but it's more that people actually keep them as babies. Now once again I'd like to make it clear that I don't want to tell these people how to live their lives. They're not actually doing anyone any harm by having these things around the house, cradling them, and spending time doting on them. It's just that it creeps me the fuck out.

I don't want it to. I want to be all groovy and accepting of this totally harmless activity but it just makes me a little uneasy.

I think that it's mostly because it makes me think of guys who have Real Dolls and that this could, at least in part, be a way for someone to have a doll family. They could have a real doll for a while, then add a reborn doll to the family, and then... oh I don't know... move on to torturing small animals or something. Sorry, that was wrong of me, I shouldn't have typed that.

I'm a bit worn down.

The world and its people are not there to make me comfortable. They are not there to make me fool good about myself nor are they there for me to judge.

Ryan Gosling was a guy I was rooting for in Lars And The Real Girl so I guess I can root for these people too.

Or just ignore them. I should probably do that.
