I think we can all agree that dolls are creepy. Like, crap your pants creepy if you've ever seen one in the middle of the night standing beside your bed holding a glock to your head. Well, just when you think dolls or the people who buy them can't get any creepier, some a-holes start pretending that the dolls are real.

Apparently people are buying these dolls that are made of vinyl and painted several times so they look real, and they even have hair and eyelashes. Cops in Australia even broke a car window to pull one of the babies out to safety. Boy, did they have egg on their face when they discovered it was just a creepy life-like fake baby!

Via The Standard:

Fans of the hobby, who call it "reborning," are mostly women and are increasingly guarded about discussing it since media reports highlighted their purchase by bereaved parents, prompting some to portray the hobby as macabre.

"Cuddle therapy" is what one reborning website calls the hobby - the dolls' bodies can be fitted with electronic devices that mimic a heartbeat and breathing.

Collectors say the dolls can cause feelings of intense unease, even disgust.

I remember when I collected baseball cards and the Reds' Chris Sabo card always gave me feelings of intense unease because of his sports goggles, but I never felt disgust. But here's the best part about buying fake little people, especially if you want children, but don't want to go through the hassle of pushing it through your vagina (or your butthole if you're a dude, like Schwarzenegger in that movie, Junior):

Deborah King, who took up doll- making three years ago, now sells dolls via Reborn Baby. "My daughter wanted a sibling and I didn't want to have any more children, so I made her a doll instead," she said.

Wonder what the conversation would be like while little Susie and her reborn sibling laid in their beds at night? I imagine it'd go something like this:

Little Susie: Hey, Darla, why have I grown ten inches in the last year and a half, but you're still the same size?

Creepy Doll: .....................

Little Susie: Mommy says you're just a late bloomer, but Uncle Ned says it's because Daddy's seed is defective.

Creepy Doll: .....................

Little Susie: I love you, Darla. We'll be best friends forever.

Creepy Doll: .....................

    Good one Trouser snout - did that take you all weekend to think of in your Hitler/Nazi memorabilia infused trailer or your locked room at Mom's house at age 35...

    Also was your fat, ugly, meth addicted girlfriend coming back and forth from doing tricks in the trailet lot or at the local AM/PM disturbing your concentration? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Well, that'll teach me to never, EVER google "reborn babies" again.

    That is easily the most horrifying thing I have ever seen. The uncanny valley at its best.
