Recommended Reading

If you've never read "Haunted" by Chuck Palahniuk, I recommend it. It includes a short story about a woman who always felt a connection with inanimate objects like teddy bears, dolls etc. She felt they were real, with individual personalities. This woman grows up to work in conjunction with a police force in the child welfare department or something like that. If it was suspected that a child was sexually abused, she had these dolls that the kids could use to show her where and how an adult touched them. Anyway, after several years of use, the dolls are starting to fall apart so she orders new ones. However, she accidentally orders anatomically correct child sex dolls instead. Long story short, all of the police officers start signing these dolls out saying they need them for several investigations but they're really just fucking them. When she starts to suspect this, she steals the dolls. The sex dolls were just as real to her, if not more so, than the teddy bears she had when she was younger. It's been awhile since I've read the book, so I'm sure I'm getting some of these details wrong. It's just a really good, revealing story on how vile people can be, and how no person, regardless of their background or profession, can ever be truly trusted. It's a cautionary tale, and one that should be read by everyone. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'd really like to fuck a kid doll.

Come on, you saw that coming, right?
