Yesterday morning there was a very disturbing story on the news. There was a segment about "Reborn Dolls". These dolls look absolutely like a real infant-it is actually eerie how authentic they are. Apparently,many women collect these dolls. I didn't say little girls collect these dolls-I reiterate WOMEN collect them all across the country and in many other countries. Ok, you say, they collect them as a so called "hobby"- what is so wrong with that? People collect all types of things, right? WELL, these crazy collectors put their dolls in strollers, they take them shopping, they put them in car seats,they burp them, swaddle them, and even give them a pacifier. Are you starting to get as freaked out as I am?
What was equally disturbing is the interview that coincided with this story. The journalists interviewed two women. One of the woman owned 28 "reborn dolls" and one woman owned 10. One had a complete nursery for their dolls-changing tables, cribs, etc. And yet, the interviewers did not suggest these women were mentally unstable. In fact, they didn't even suggest that this was even a little "weird"! They treated them normally, as if this was just another person with an interest or hobby, like collecting stamps. I thought both of these women were certifiably insane-completely mad! And I thought the interviewer was just as crazy. Don't take my word for it-have a look for yourselves.
