Boyfriend’s Arm Pillow
A new product from the Kameo Corporation was just released in Japan. It consists of a headless torso and a stuffed arm that “holds” the lonely sleeper. It is called the Boyfriend’s Arm Pillow, and it’s quite the interesting idea. We interviewed a few Japanese people that have used the product. Here were their responses.
Chikuma Akera, age 26, found it to be quite a frightening experience. “Sometimes, when I’m half asleep, the hand caresses my arm. At first, it was emotionally satisfying, but it’s starting to get quite uncomfortable,” said Chikuma nervously. Jun Tansho, age 32, said she was very impressed with the product. “It’s just satisfying to know that I can sleep well at night and feel secure in the process,” she stated. “The pillow can get quite frisky too, gently rubbing my nipples while I read or watch TV. I really haven’t gone all the way with it or anything yet!” Jun tells us followed by a hearty laugh. “It’s kind of sexy… like the wind,” she said seductively.
Are you familiar with Bollywood, even if only through Amon Tobin’s sound manipulation on Out from Outwhere [how's that for a ludicrously obscure reference]? Well, you may know the name Aishwarya Rai. Earlier this week, news was released that the former Miss World had possibly been cloned somewhere at a secret facility in London. Rumors spread about the town quickly. The gossip became bizarre. People suggested everything from Aishwarya had been cloned and fused together with a spawn of Michael Jackson to her having her arms surgically removed and replaced by tentacles with razor sharp armor capable of cutting through a human sternum.
