We mentioned the Real Doll here last year when we wrote about the “Doll Experience Rooms” in South Korea that provided them to their patrons. Well, now there’s a mainstream movie that features one as the lead actress.

“Lars and the Real Girl” also stars Ryan Gosling, as Lars, but the movie wouldn’t be getting so much attention without his lifeless co-star. In the film, which opens next month, Gosling plays an emotionally troubled misfit who mail-orders a Real Doll — an anatomically correct female doll made from high grade silicon crafted over an articulated skeleton — for companionship.

Once his doll arrives, Lars introduces her to his increasingly uncomfortable family and friends, transporting his new “girlfriend” Bianca around town in a wheelchair. No one knows what to say to Lars or Bianca — because she is a life-size doll, not a real person and he is treating her as though she is alive. Lars’ family talks with a doctor who advises them to go along with his delusion. I think you can imagine what kinds of madness that might lead to.

Like the South Korean people don’t have enough to worry about with North Korean as a neighbor, now their own government is trying to restrict their god-given right to have sex with a rubber doll.

Here’s the deal. In South Korea you can rent what’s called a “doll experience room” for an hour for just over $26 US (or 25,000 Won). That gets you a bed, a computer. and a well-made rubber sex doll. The dolls are what we call a Real Doll and what they think we call a “dirty wife” for some reason. These are expensive and realistic playtoys we’re talking about here, with the starting price to purchase one being around $6,500 plus $500 for shipping. (Yes, that’s a in the photo.)

The doll experience rooms were introduced as a way around the Special Law on Prostitution which went into effect in 2004. So first your country tells you that you can’t fuck the women who are willing to fuck you for money, and now they’re trying to say that you can’t pay to fuck a rubber woman either.

Sometimes I’m pretty sure that this world is just about as fucked up as it would be if some asshole ran the whole thing.

–Note to self: but it’d still be nice to get the licensing rights to a line of Pussycat Dolls made by Real Dolls.
