Things I found on Overstock.com...

I was looking for a pillow. So I went to the Bedding section at Overstock.com and clicked on the "Pillows" link, where I found the following category breakdown:

Pillow Materials
Down (5)
Memory Foam (15)
Alternative (75)

When I clicked on the "Alternative" link I was expecting to find pillows filled with something other than "Down" or "Memory Foam." Oddly enough, this was the fourth item listed:


It's called the Hug Me Pillow. I guess it's supposed to be cute, but I think it's kind of creepy, in a Norman Bates, Ed Gein, dismembered body sort of way. That said, I suppose this would be a good gift if you know someone looking for an overnight stand-in for the man that may, or may not be otherwise present in their life.

To complete the illusion, throw some dirty laundry on the floor and leave the toilet seat up.

I'm buying one of those to put in my freezer.

Wonder if they come in different varieties. Like one that has on half of a wife beater shirt, with embroidered tattooes and fake armhair.
