Hug Me Pillow Relieves The Loneliness Until Morning

18003 views

You don't have to be sad anymore, single person. Overstock has you covered. Just don't turn over in the middle of the night, especially if you have night terrors.

Some of the reviews are insightful, too:

"I sleep with 5 of them... I can't explain it but I now feel like one complete person." - Anonymous

"This lonely arm brings me the love that I need. I come home and it greets me, it cooks me dinner, it loves me the way no one could ever love me." - LonelyArm13

"It doesn't matter why you need/want the pillow, what matters is you won't regret it." - AuthenticOpinion4u

"Doesn't talk back or snore." - Anonymous

Is it just me or is that disembodied...uh...partially disembodied arm groping that lady?

And while you're sleeping with your "special friend" you can play this:

I must say this piqued my single mind for about a minute until I realized it wouldn't help me sleep any better.

@nicemarmot617: Yeah, it appears that way. Oi, I can't sleep with even a necklace or a tight shirt around my neck- let alone my boyfriend's arm- without having nightmares about hands around my neck. This thing looks so uncomfortable.

I see the problem -- he hasn't learned the concept of the pillow behind her

Do they have a female version? With boobs??

user-pic

Does it have sweaty pits? Or rather, a sweaty pit? Or do they give you a little spray bottle?

user-pic

@nicemarmot617: Just like a real guy.

user-pic

@nicemarmot617: I feel like if you sleep with somebody, you have license the touch their boobs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like if you sleep with somebody, you have license the touch their boobs.

@chuckv: It's possible for a husband to be charged with raping his wife, so I don't see why he wouldn't be charged with something for groping her boob against her wishes.

I wish (The) Consumerist had posted this six weeks ago. It would've made my Xmas shopping much easier.

user-pic

If I ever used one of these "things" I have a feeling I'd wake up one night (forgetting it was there) and be scared out of my freakin mind because some hand was groping me in the dark.

user-pic

Definitely creepy. Kind of wonder the type of person who would buy this. But I got more of a kick out of the "People who view this also viewed:" on the right of that webpage:

@Amy Alkon: You can add this [madhattermagicshop.com] and have the Dutch Oven experience.

Oh. Sweet. God. In my sculpture class in college about 5 years ago a girl created nearly the exact same thing for a project. Though, she created a whole, half body for which to simulate "spooning." She left off the arm on the under-side of the stuffed person because, as everyone knows, that arm just gets in the way and ends up going numb anyways. It was totally meant as somewhat of a joke, "Ha ha" kind of artwork. I can't believe someone is actually trying to sell it. If I remembered what this girl's name was I would let her know about it in a second. High-Larious!

Hilarious!
He's totally coping a feel.

And what kind of pillow guy sleeps in an oxford?

Almost as crazy/scary as the Zaky. [www.amazon.com]

The saddest part: it got 4.7 stars out of 5 and 39 reviews. I think this one is my favorite:

"I bought this pillow to keep my company on nights when my husband, a correspondent for the Trans-Alaskan News Network, was out of town. The pillow exceeded even my wildest expectations. I'm told the pillow was modeled after Brad Pitt, and I believe it! When I first nestled against the soft, but firm chest of my new "husband" I slept better than I ever had before. Now I don't mind when my husband goes out of town!"

Brad Pitt.

These poor, poor women.

user-pic

@Desk_hack: The poor husband! Looks like he's being one-upped by synthetic down.

user-pic

@Ubermunch: I'd say if you buy this pillow, the company screwed you pretty well.

user-pic

@Desk_hack:

Didn't that Belkin company have nearly perfect reviews also?

That lady has some serious "issues".

user-pic

@Ubermunch: Or perhaps, in light of the fraud-y Circuit City liquidation, the rising unemployment rate, the auto bailout, the banks bailout, and the devastating foreclosure epidemic, Consumerist is trying to have a laugh on a Friday.

user-pic

@Desk_hack:

So... What's so hilarious about this? Ooooooooh! A pillow with an arm.

My sides are aching from the laughing!!!!

[YAWN]

user-pic

@Amy Alkon: What kind of guy(s) do you sleep with that remind you of sweaty pits?

I'm a guy, if I think I'm anywhere close to not smelling decent I take a shower before I go to bed.

I don't need to subject my wife to that.

Bye.

@humphrmi:

But it supposedly does center around consumer stories and the companies that screw them.

A one armed pillow...

Not a big consumer story there.

Much... much... more interesting pillows:

An arm is boring compared to these.

These things creep me out. You have to wonder who would buy them. Or how about the mouse pads for losers who never get any:

@Ubermunch: I said a laugh, I didn't say it was hilarious. Just a light-hearted post. And those reviews were pathetic enough to be pretty funny.

@Ubermunch: Thank you for deciding that for us all. What would we ever do without you making such a decision on what we may like or not.

user-pic

Clearly broken. The pillow's arm I mean.

Look the palm is facing OUTWARDS in the same direction as the chest.

Seems pretty uncomfortable, even for a fake pillow man.
