			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sir Mapsalot is experiencing an unfamiliar emotion, which some might recognize as fear. Science, meant to be a refuge for the sane and logical, has taken a break from looking for a cure for cancer to focus on much more important matters i.e. the boyfriend pillow.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18" title="bfp1" src="http://sirmapsalot.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/bfp1.jpg?w=500&#038;h=637" alt="bfp1" width="500" height="637" /></p>
<p>You can just kick back, relax and watch your favourites <em>The OC</em> and <em>Gilmore Girls</em> on your sky+ box, while this mutant cushion cuddles the hell out of you. Worst comes to the worst, I’m sure you can frig yourself off on it.</p>
<p>What a terrifying arm-dystopia she’s about to wake up in.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-19" title="v23507b" src="http://sirmapsalot.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/v23507b.jpg?w=300&#038;h=300" alt="v23507b" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>Neither Sir Mapsalot or the &#8216;Pillow-Partner&#8217; company would like to be seen as sexist&#8230;unfortunately.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20" title="pr_59076" src="http://sirmapsalot.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/pr_59076.jpg?w=250&#038;h=250" alt="pr_59076" width="250" height="250" /></p>
<p>Advertised as an ideal gift: &#8221; <span> It makes a humorous gift for single pals.&#8221; Indeed it does, if humourous was synonomous with condescending, patronizing or horrifying Perhaps it would be more sucessful if advertized as a  simple self-esteem destroying gift for your friend who still has a life i.e. the one who hasn&#8217;t lost her figure, ambition or sex drive due to the marriage + kids conundrum.</span></p>
<p><span>And to end on a possibly equally distubing note:</span></p>

<p>I am a lonely man. I mostly blame the attention-deprived years of my childhood, but I also blame my failed marriage to that cold-hearted wench who took half of what I own when we got divorced. Over the years I&#8217;ve made up for my loneliness with promiscuity and alcohol-fueled love affairs, but sometimes that&#8217;s not enough.</p>
<p>If this sounds familiar to you &#8211; then you need the Boyfriend Pillow.</p>
<p>Unlike a normal pillow, the Boyfriend Pillow has a built-in arm that you can wrap around your body, simulating the sensitive touch of a lover&#8217;s embrace. Made of ultra-comfy memory foam, the Boyfriend Pillow is shaped like a man&#8217;s torso and can be positioned in a number of different ways (trust me).</p>
<p>Why the Boyfriend Pillow is wearing a button-down dress shirt to bed is beyond me, but I can&#8217;t complain. With a little imagination, and a splash of perfume, we lonely men can close our eyes and pretend that the pillow is actually a woman wearing one of our favorite dress shirts.</p>
<p>With a little more imagination, and a lot more perfume, you can also pretend the pillow is actually the girl featured in the product photo. But that&#8217;s up to you.</p>
<p>So, when my pick-up lines prove unsuccessful at the bar, it&#8217;s nice to know that I&#8217;ll always have someone to snuggle up with when I get home. It won&#8217;t complain about being unsatisfied, or question why her memory of the last six hours is so foggy, and it doesn&#8217;t threaten to call the cops if I don&#8217;t give her cab fare for the ride home.</p>
<p>The Boyfriend Pillow is, quite simply, perfect.&#8221;</p>
