How About a Few Cats Instead?

"My Fake Baby" is a terrifying Channel 4 documentary that is now airing on BBC America. It's about very disturbed women who carry around super-realistic newborn infant dolls and pretend that they are real babies. One can purchase these creepy things here.

Sometimes a woman who has lost her infant asks the company to create a doll that looks just like her dead baby. Sometimes the makers even give the doll a heartbeat and make it look like it's breathing. And sometimes, they attach tubes and wires to the doll, just like the doctors did in the hospital when the baby was in intensive care. Before it died. Did I mention the dolls are made to look like people's dead babies??

I saw the entire documentary online a few months ago, but those limey killjoys have since taken it off of youtube. You can watch scenes on this British morning show:



This is a not-so-live blog of my friend Jon and me discussing the doc while watching clips online. We are not any sicker than any of you.

Some customers order special dolls that are exact replicas of their own children who died at birth or in infancy. These are individually made from hand-sculpted clay forms made from photographs of the child.
that's sad

yeah, and weird.
and wrong.

i hope if i die you have one made of me

i already have one, jon.
i shower with it.

i wish
i'm so fucking fascinated with this
it looks pretty damn real
Other ideas can be added such as heartbeat!!!!
ugh
why is it called reborning

you should get one and abort it.

snuff it's heartbeat out

you should carry it in one of those baby bjorns and then be really rough with it and bang into things
or birth it!!!
let it drop out of your pants leg
that's the thing to do

i'll just yell PUSH
really loud
to myself

no, you don't yell push
someone else does, you groan

i'll birth it
then we'll both walk away

put the baby in a trashcan and then walk away

with its leg sticking out

we would get so beat up
i would cut the cord with my teeth
what would the cord be made of?

condoms, syrup and bacon

oh i am going to vomit

vomit while i'm birthing

and cry and wail, "Why am I barren??!!!"
i have to be a woman who is jealous of you

i'm sorry
but if you are going to MAKE a baby
why on earth
would you make an ugly one?

oh i thought you were making fun of palin's retarded baby

i mean
give them a better picture yo

you should order one and tell them you want to molest it

i need one with a warm mouth

that likes to be spanked

this is fucked up

this is so disturbing



MEANWHILE, here is how one average American teenage girl who is forced to take care of a pretend/real baby for health class feels. Needless to say, she would rather be hanging out at her boyfriend Greg's house than taking care of a gay baby. He's in a band, but whatever. He plays drums.
