Miley is pissed.

Basically, someone made a Miley sex doll and is now selling it. She's pissed off and will apparently sue.

Now I fully expect this to be skewed because most of the people here are men, but how would you feel if someone made a sex doll using your image, without your permission, and then sold it to everyone who wanted one without you getting a cent? And what do they know about your body and how big or small things are?

I think I'd be a bit bothered, but probably not as much as her. My first thought was "how can they use her image without her consent"? Later I started wondering what kind of people would be fucking it, and does that really matter? Let's be honest, most will end up as gifts or props in jokes/parties. They might get used once or twice on a dare and/or while drunk, but it won't be a regular thing, and the people doing the screwing will be very aware of the difference between a sex doll and Miley.

However, it's the weird folks whose purpose for the doll creep you out. The ones who have dinner with it, and talk to it about Hannah Montana...

Something that would be fascinating to determine would be if such dolls inspire or deflate (pun intended) potential stalkers.

For my fellow gents: think of the most hideous women you've ever seen. Now picture the ones that really, really weird you out and/or scare you. Women that you know would make Glenn Close in Fatal Attractions seem like a perfectly balanced and even tempered woman. Imagine them getting a blow up doll of you and not only fucking it, but talking to it everyday about how the two of you are in love and should be together...

I think I just talked myself into "Other" on my own poll. My "other" is "all of the above".

I should also note that Miley isn't alone here. We've posted the link before to the "Real Girls" where some company will make you a doll to resemble whomever you want, and they're far, far more lifelike than a blow up doll.

And if you haven't seen it, check out Lars and the Real Girl. Good film.

LOL

It'd be weird, and I'd want royalty/damages/etc.

Well, there was just 1 customer review, and it appears to have been a joke. But didnt click to see his other reviews.

Royalties, nothing.

First a cease & desist, then sue for all profits they have made, then sue for damages.

That'd be just one more outlet for their insanity. People like that aren't well balanced to begin with.
