[edit] Question on woman in Real Sex episode

I was wondering if anyone could tell me who the three woman were who used the Real doll were from the show Real Sex?. I believe it was from episode 22.

[edit] Merge with Sex Doll

There are several manufacturers mentioned in this article. No reason to give a free ad to just one by naming the article Realdoll. -Barry- 01:10, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I disagree, although I agree that the list of competitors should be moved to sex doll. Realdoll has become a symbol of sorts for the Uncanny Valley, which, I will admit, is not mentioned in the article, but something that social commentators and artists (I actually came here because of a new photoart exhibit done by Elena Dorfman called Still Lovers and an article a few months back in the New York Times Magazine). It would be like merging the article on McDonald's with fast food, without regard to it becoming much more than a restaurant franchrise, such as a symbol of globalization.--YoungFreud 03:02, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

See CybOrgasMatrix discussion page for a similar discussion thread regarding merging under Sex doll.--Esoterik1 21:57, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture needed

Please add a picture. The article is bare without one. --kingboyk 23:16, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

The external links need to be cleaned up a bit. I won't do it, but someone with a solid head about this subject should. Lunis Neko 09:19, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The idea that stays with you...

I admit I couldn't help but think about the Realdoll when I saw this article on National Geograhic[1]... --Bobak 23:23, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Realdoll featured in the "Surplus" documentary

I have recently watched the "Surplus" movie and it features Matt McMullen and the Realdoll factory. However, I was unable to locate any online (or offline, either) verifiable information in order to remove the {{Fact}} tag on the article. Any ideas? Rudá 19:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

• It seems like the documentary itself should be able to serve as a source, no? Just because a source isn't online doesn't make it any less of a source. --Dlugar 19:13, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Realdoll.com featured in the movie 8 mm 2

The dolls, and the website, play a major part in the story....

[edit] Move to RealDoll

I will request a non-controversial move to RealDoll from Realdoll if no one objects. Robotman1974 18:53, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

No. A little research will quickly show that the name is RealDoll. Might as well move Nesquik to Nesquick. 67.49.8.228 (talk) 22:49, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

This whole article needs to be referenced, and reads like an advertisement. Also it's weaselly: "some do this and some do that and some do something else" 67.49.8.228 07:19, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
