I can't believe I'm doing this

Okay, look. I can't be at the computer a whole lot and I can post links even less, particularly since I'm cleaning madly for the lunchtime electricians, but we have got to get a few things out of the way because this is the subject of half my inbox this morning:

Yes, I have seen the sparklecock. Yes, you too can now own your own unofficially Twilight-themed glitter dildo. Well, technically I haven't looked at it yet, although I have read the description ("THROW IT IN THE FRIDGE FOR THAT AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE"?), because I am on the family computer and I will never, ever be able to explain this.

And yes, Edward's life-size shadow can watch you while you use it.

Excuse me, I have to go bleach my mind's eye now.


(Also, Amazon's Tonner prom exclusive Bella has her own little leg cast. Apparently the doll's product name--the way the SDCC Edward exclusive was "Hungry"--is "Turn Me." I... I really don't like thinking about all three of these items being in the same room.)

Doesn't that border on harrasment for the actor?

Do they use the actor, though? If they do, yeah, that's pretty twisted, but if it's just Edward, that doesn't necessarily mean the actor.

However, have not looked at the pictures, so. And if it's true? Yeah, that's actually very stalkery and disturbing.

They may be calling it 'Edward' but it IS his sillouette they are using, so to me it's the one and the same. O.o

That's the silhouette of a cardboard standup (also officially available for purchase) of the actor/character. I hate that I know this, but I recognize the pose.

I don't know that it borders on harassment any more than the officially licensed cardboard standup does, though. If anything, it might be a merchandising rights issue between the decal maker and the standup maker.

I was going to say, it depends entirely on what rights to his image he sold when he signed the contract.

Off to find the brain bleach....

Still, at least you don't know if the dildo is an authentic replica.

OH GOD MY BRAIN
