It's An Oddball World 1 - Japan and the Pillow Man

Wow...talk about weird and strange! In Japan, there's a new answer for lonely women: The Boyfriend's Arm Pillow, sold for $80 by the Kaemo Corp. It's a torso-shaped pillow with an arm, and it's supposed to comfort women who don't have to sleep by themselves. Over 1000 pillows have been sold. This is serious stuff. Click on the first link below for a picture of a woman sleeping with the pillow. 34-year-old DJ Junko Suzuki is a big promoter of it. She says, "I like to sleep holding some one's hand." Even if that someone is a pillow. What will they think of next?
