Chris Costa Action Figure

I'm pretty sure DMenTeD photoshopped my head onto that, it was more a joke than anything else.

Heck I'd come out with a Cologne is folks paid me - this is America ;)

Apparently I'm just living on another planet because the idea of men collecting dolls is 100% foreign to me.

I literally never thought I would have the experience of having someone on CGN say to me "That's what men do...collect dolls."



I also find it hilarious that people are suggesting that there is anything wrong with judging people for what they buy. I mean if you walked in to some dude's house and he had a blow up ### doll on the couch, are you seriously trying to tell me that you'd look at that and say to yourself, "well, I don't really like ### dolls myself...but I certainly won't judge a whole segment of society! Saying "anyone who ####s blowup ### dolls is a creep" is a judgemental value statement I'm just not OK with."

On the same site where guys get accused of being homo for drinking lattes and buying apple computers, all of a sudden BUYING DOLLS OF MIGHTY WARRIOR MEN is cool?

Hey, knock yourselves out, doll collectors...but be prepared for the possibility that other people will experience what is scientifically termed the "ick response".

I worked in the adult entertainment industry for a short time and I can assure you, there are things people will pay for that are far more disturbing than collecting dolls.

Waaaait... You're in a band right? Cause I've partied with a lot of musicians and no one even blinks an eye at something like that. :)

I was talking about this with a good friend of mine recently...he was the bassist in an old band of mine and is currently a guitarist for a fairly big metal band.

The basic conclusion: the music scene tolerates people that in most contexts would be considered absolute degenerates.

But despite this, the only musicians I can think of that wouldn't bat an eye at a blowup doll would be guys who knew for a fact that it was a joke.

And if somebody bought a Chris Costa doll as part of a complicated ironic joke, I'd probably accept that...because the whole joke would be that they were buying something too embarrassingly sad to believe.


And I agree that no doubt there are things people buy that are far more disturbing than blow up dolls. Hell, somebody apparently makes a Chris Costa doll. But that doesn't make me think that blow up dolls are OK.

I think the only joke at this point is the price tag (or that maybe we're up to 4 pages now in this thread). That or whether it's a "doll" or "action figure"... Did I read that correct: $140USD?! Yikes!

Fingers crossed.
 
4 pages?!? noooo my good Blaxsun . . . this is page 16.

And this is my first post on this too! I can't even believe it.

Someone needs to do a stop animation video of Chris Costa versus Barbie.

The good news is... I've got your Christmas shopping done already.
The bad news is... air pump batteries not included.
