I must start this off by stating: I am a straight female.

That said, I totally want one of these.  Ok, I can't actually link to it or I may damage my already precariously low PR, but go to Real Doll dot com and click on "dolls".  If you're over 18, that is.

It is not a pr0n site, but it could probably be used as one.  It's very explicit. However, none of it is actually real.  It looks incredibly real though.  Every bit is carefully sculpted to be as lifelike as possible.  And boy do some of those dolls fool the eye. 

Ok, the real reason I want one of these is because they're so lifelike.  I can just imagine all the pranks I could play when guests come over.  Or like hubby wants to do- strap her into the passenger seat and try to get pulled over.  The one catch?  She's $6500 for a stock model.  You can customize everything from breast size to eyeshadow color, but some customizations will cost more.  And there's a $500 shipping charge. 

There are also male dolls, but they're not realistic at all. 

Just don't let your kids in the room while you're looking at these!  You may know they're not real women, but it could take years of therapy to convince your kids.

I so love this commercial.  It cracks me up every time I see it, and I often run around repeating the "get to know your doctor" and "tell your high priced stock broker where to go" bits over and over.

Yeah, I'm annoying.  So?

But a lot of work did.  Some guy in one of Toyota's Japan plans literally overworked himself to death.  At least according to a court ruling.  And who could blame them?  The guy worked 106 hours of overtime in a week.  Overtime people- not 106 hours total.  106 hours of overtime.

And they say Americans are workaholics and have our priorities messed up.  Toyota's response?  That it would further improve the management of its employees health.  Oh yes, I can see they're really stepping up to the plate.

I was wrong.

The Tinman is only 3 episodes long and last night was the last.  However, you can still catch it by tuning in to the Sci Fi channel on Sunday.  I totally recommend it.

This settles it.  The French can't do anything without style. 

First, you have the clothes.  If you look carefully, you can tell that he's dressing gangsta... assuming it's still considered gangsta these days now that everyone in America dresses this way.  Except that this guy is French.  And his "gangsta" clothes are clean, pressed, and cut well.  No cheap grungy clothes for this guy.

And second, you have his graffiti.  This bad boy does all of his graffiti using light.  The only permanence is in video.  And it's set to music.

Funny, I always thought it was for kids.  Then again, for some reason I never liked it much when I was the target age group.  About the only things I liked from Sesame Street was those weird aliens, Super Grover (only when he was super) Cookie Monster, and Oscar the Grouch. 

Ok, those are still the only things I like about Sesame Street, but apparently the people releasing the first season of Sesame Street to DVD don't feel the same way.  Apparently there are too many instances of irresponsible behavior in the earlier episodes of Sesame Street that can simply lead our children astray.  I mean, of course Cookie Monster is to blame for our trouble with childhood obesity.  Of course Big Bird was clearly deranged since he could see the invisible Snuffleupagus.  Thank heavens I was never a fan or I would be traumatized too.

Yeesh.  People really need to get lives.

I'm just waiting for them to take away Yosemite Sam's shotgun and hide the dynamite sticks from Wile E. Coyote.

I was writing a sponsored post at another blog for bettercaring.com and came across an article about a group of retirees(I believe they're actually in the same care home) who formed a cover band for modern rock and hip hop. 

How cool!  These guys cover the Pussycat Dolls, McFly, and a few others.  You have to see it to believe it, but I love seeing seniors get their groove on.  Hey, my mother's 61 and just graduating from nursing school, so you know I'm all for living out your dreams at any age.  Or, just having fun.
