Tip to madmonkey for pointing this out. Those wacky yet innovative Japanese offer up the "boyfriend pillow" -- although, really, it could be either gender when you think about it. It's an actual product, sold about a thousand in the past year.

Ooooh, I can see it already. A horror movie where an evil boyfriend pillow strangles young girls in their sleep and no one can figure out how they're being killed. Of course, if made, this movie should rise no higher than B status (, and should be placed in our Worst Movie thread simply for the thought.

HEY! Watch where you're putting your hand, buddy! OH... never mind....

Well I guess it could be either gender but if they were selling one to men the arm & Hand probably wouldn't be the body parts they duplicated....

isn't this a take on husband pillows?

They look much more comfortable then a boyfriends arm, I want one. :) But don't tell my boyfriend.

I wonder why the link didn't mention whether batteries are included? ;)

C'mon ppl!!! To really be a 'boyfriend' pillow it's gotta come with an ice cold beer that's permanantly attached to the hand, or at least a TV remote....no one seems to care about realism anymore... :D

Can't hold a beer or remote, it's been numb since she cut off the circulation an hour ago. :biglaugha

I don't know if this is creepy or just sad.

Well this one won't be out drinking at a karoke/strip club with his coworkers untill all hours. Or two-time her.

I think batteries would be a good idea.

Batteries? What for?

If you have to ask, you're not allowed to have one. :)

No more chewing your arm off to get away in the morning. I don't think they should be marketing it to women. It should be sold in the men's department.
Pearcie (AUS) • Oct 13, 2004 10:14 pm
Yeah Good call tw! It'd make a perfect substitute for your own arm in those early morning, hungover "What the hell did I just do?!" situtations.

Does it randomly fart, and fluff the covers to distribute evenly, all the while yelling "whoooooo" just in case the initial explosion didn't grab your attention?

Damn you wolf! Whydja hafta go and say that for? Not that *I'd* do anything like that in polite company. Or impolite company for that matter.

Or am I protesting too much? Again?

What's funny is the pillow looks like it's copping a feel. That's realism.
xoxoxoBruce • Oct 14, 2004 8:09 pm
So it DID come with batteries.
Hmmm,...there's a joke it there,....but I'm not touching it. :blush:
