Shouldn't someone be helping these folks get together?

Japanese men lap up new comfort: Japanese men without a shoulder to cry on this Christmas are being offered a woman’s lap - made out of foam - to rest on instead

Man-shaped pillow for solo sleeper

Man, how sad is this? When the best you can do for companionship is a foam approximation of the opposite sex, isn’t it time to begin considering some different options? Having spent a few holiday seasons by myself, I can vouch for what a thoroughly depressing experience it can be. Somehow, though, I never considered foam laps or blow-up dolls or whatever else may have been available. Sometimes, being alone is not the worst thing in the world. Besides, if you want a friend, BE a friend. Volunteer, visit a nursing home, play Big Brother…do something to help others and be around others. You’d be surprised at how quickly you’ll forget your own problems when you help someone else forget theirs and put a smile on their face.

A pillow is in the end just a pillow…and it’s a damn poor substitute for human interaction.
