  Every time I pull the string on the back of this doll it says something nice to me. Is this true love?

    Hate to break it to you but that aint the back of the doll and it isn’t a string you are pulling either.

    But the affection is genuine.

  There was a guy who married his DS (yes, a Nintendo DS) so I could see this happening. marrying something that isn’t even alive is just weird

  That ship’s already passed, women have been loving on hand-held robots for decades now. I would bet that some women love their buzzy little friend more than the man in their lives.

      Ask them, I’d bet you’d find some takers.
