Would You Be Offended If You Received This Gift?

Published on December 13, 2004 By iamheather In Misc

For anyone trying to find the "right" gift for your single female friends, consider the the Boyfriend's Arm Pillow.

Kameo, based in the southern Japanese city of Fukuoka, says the pillow is not only an emotional comfort, but that its shape keeps the body balanced by supporting the sleeper from both sides.

Sleepers typically curl up in between the body of the pillow and the crooked arm, with the sleeper's head resting on the pillow's 'bicep'.

Does this creep anyone else out? I guess at least it won't snore or toss and turn. But it is headless, for goodness sake! (of course some women have real boyfriends that seem to be missing one too) Even creepier, apparently a muscular boyfriend and slender boyfriend pillows are in the works.

Take heart men, a girlfriend pillow is coming soon.

Would you give this gift to someone? Would you want one of these?

Update Men you need not wait! Upon further research.....Your Girlfriend's Lap Pillow!

this is hilarious, thank you much for sharing it...though recently I've offered my actual arm to a special lady to sleep on so I don't think I'll be buying this soon.

I'd be offended if I got the boyfriend pillow, yes. But I'd laugh if I got the girlfriend. Although I doubt I'd use it, they are creepy, if rather funny at the same time.

After having spent many more nights away from my wife's bed that in it, I wonder if they could make a "Military Protective (Gas)Mask", "Rolled Up Field Jacket" or even an "Online all night because I can't sleep" pillow, to make me feel more "at home" as I sleep.

Getting any of the pillows suggested in your article for my wife would just confuse her either way. ;~D

Congratulations and good for you!

What fascinates me....why do men get a lap? Why do women want arms and men want crotches?

It's not where our head is, it's what our eyes are looking at.

Great ideas, but sad. We should write the makers of the company and request them.

Zombie wanted to buy me both, stack the man on top of the girl legs and call it our "Eddie Izzard" pillow.

I was assuming that the question was about why men would prefer a real lap to a real arm.

I do not understand the pillow part. If it were me, I would choose another part of the female anatomy.

The most interesting thing I just noticed about this article (okay not the most but you get what I mean right?) -- the newspaper this article is linked to is my hometown paper - so to speak It's kinda creepy but I guess it doesn't snore or shudder. The female pillow looks kinda trampy thoough

As InfoGeek already demonstrated, that is the point. We want comfort, they want something else?
