I'm just so confused

Meet Mollie. She is an orangutan toddler doll from Ashton-Drake, a company that sells realistic looking dolls, I think?


HOO BOY. On the one hand, Mollie is terrifying. On the other, the expression on her face is priceless. And on all of the hands in the world - WHO is the intended audience for this thing? Is this a doll for children? You'd have to hate your child to give it this. Much more depressing, though, is the idea that it is for adults. Who in the world would pay $150 for this thing that doesn't make sense? How can it be a realistic toddler-orangutan hybrid? THAT IS NOT A THING THAT EXISTS!

I just don't know what to make of any of this.

  1. I think that people DO dress Orangutans up as toddlers sometimes...the limited number of people who own Orangutans, that is. Perhaps the goal here is to persuade people who want to own an Orangutan and dress it up as a toddler to buy Mollie instead. This way, people can be strange and primates can keep their dignity. I can get behind that.
