Must-See TV

Somehow I failed to notice Channel 5’s Guys and Dolls in the TV schedules until it was too late:

Documentary of the week: Guys and Dolls

Davecat from Michigan discussing his decision to fall in love with a £4,000 plastic doll called Sidore-Chan (Guys and Dolls, Monday 18 September, Five), whom he bought from a factory in California: “So currently I’m living with my parents. I think there’s definitely a sense of disappointment for them. My father … well, he sees it as, y’know, ‘unnatural’. I think the thing my father finds difficult about my relationship with Sidore-Chan is that she’s, not, like, alive.”

“As a result, Sidore-Chan spends 99% of her time in my room. It used to be like sex, sex, sex, sex … but now that’s tapered off and we’re just, like, there for each other.”
