I heard about this phenomenon some years ago, and it seems it is particular to the UK.
Women purchase dolls that actually look like real babies. These dolls are so life-like that people often have a hard time identifying real babies from these fake ones.
Some women in the UK (usually remote parts of the country...boredom a factor...?) dedicate their lives and finances to making, selling & playing with these objects.
The above video is really short. With all the open-mindedness in the world, I can't understand why women in the UK have taken to these dolls. I personally don't think it is a healthy hobby. I think it is creepy and some of the husbands on this video make the same observations.
Armchair psychologist: If one is fixated on something that is not real, at what point do we become fully comfortable with relating to things that are real. Okay, sod it. I totally get it.
