Celebrity-Look Alike Sex Toys-Pornographic Parody or Vulgar Violation?

In Pop Culture by Heidi Nyburg on Sunday, March 9, 2008

While perusing gag gifts for a friend’s bachelorette party, we came across this inflatable doll that doesn’t just vaguely resemble Eva Langoria’s character on Desperate Housewives, it’s practically her twin. Immediately we began to wonder how many other celebrity “inspired” toys are out there and if there were more, who were they? Well, we found several and we’re not talking about the latest Jenna Jameson doll or Ron Jeremy shaped implement, we’re talking about non-porn industry celebrities being used as inspiration for sex toys. None of the toys we came across were the least bit subtle and some were more disturbing than others. Case in point- the Lindsay doll is clearly an imitation of Lindsay Lohan in Herbie Rides again, which is pretty sick since she was maybe fifteen years old in that role. Ew. What do you think? Hilarious or ho-rrific? Pun totally intended.

This chick looks more like Top Model winner Jasleen than JLo, but it’s clear who they are trying to sell here.

At least the “Lindsay” on the box is clearly of age.

Some of the inspirations were less surprising than others.

Ah ha ha! Celebrity sex dolls?! I guess we now know what you would do for a million hits. I think it is hilariously ho-rrific - celebrity culture über alles.

After I saw those, I happened to head on over to the company that makes them… and they had a package where you could actually see the face of the doll. It was the stuff of nightmares.

Yeah, I decided not to link to the company or any of the places that sell the dolls. But now I feel compelled to see the plastic handiwork even though I know viewing it will probably haunt me for the rest of my virtual life.

Jeremy, still waiting for my mil. Alas, no luck yet.

I wonder where celebs would stand legally in this case? Probably not much they can do about it, otherwise the creator would have been sued already. Paris H. probably doesn’t mind the doll; we have already seen so much more of her anyway.

I don’t wanna think about what kind of person buys these dolls. Eeww.

Daisy- I know, I was wondering the same thing. I mean they must know that they exist and they don’t really seem like a traditional parody so I don’t know if that defense would stand up. I thought the same thing about Paris’s doll.

Daisy, I think all those people that can’t find a girl use those dolls. I know its horrible, but its the reality.
