<p>Do you think he calls her a swell dish? What do the in-laws think of him?</p>
<p>And is she covered under his health insurance? What does the ACA say about this arrangement?</p>

<p>John and Jackie get married on Jerry Springer - enjoy!</p>
<p>On Jerry Springer? That is enough info to keep me away!</p>
<p>My guess is that this guy is socially awkward. His gal doesn’t notice this!</p>
<p>@Madison85, yuck. Thanks, but yuck. </p>
<p>I guess I’m on the side of those who say–he’s not hurting anyone (maybe himself) so I’d just let him do what he does. I wonder if he has a family and how his obsession started??? The Jerry Springer clip is definitely strange. The audience members are as weird as the mannequin guy.</p>
<p>Well…it is Jerry Springer…always odd!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>True. So John Quinones would have actors in place to start giving the guy a hard time or making fun of him, and I would have to see what I’m really made of. Then I’d start looking around for John Quinones. </p>
<p>I agree this guy is harmless, but this is really rather sad. I would be extremely worried if my child was doing this. Real human reaction can at times be a big pain, can be hurtful, or even dangerous, but there is also a whole lot of joy to be found in human companionship.</p>
<p>While harmless, it is strange. I wonder if he has a therapist and what that person’s take on it would be. It seems to me that this man has social issues and rather than connect with a live human being, he has found an alternative. I think most people desire companionship. I think of the movie (can’t think of the name of it) where Tom Hanks’ character is stranded on a deserted island and he fashions a companion out of a basketball and calls this “friend” Wilson. In that situation, the man has no human beings to related to and so he makes an imaginary friend as a companion. In the doll man’s case, he is choosing an inanimate object to be his companion, and for whatever reason, can’t or won’t seek a real human for companionship. But hey, it works for him.</p>
<p>“And is she covered under his health insurance? What does the ACA say about this arrangement?”</p>
<p>This is all Obama’s fault.</p>
<p>In the movie “Lars and the Real Girl” the story was that Lars had lots of issues and an almost phobia with women. He attaches to a doll to work through his issues but he does eventually resolve them. This real guy seems to be in a very unhealthy place if he has a permanent “companion” with the mannequin and while he is not hurting anyone else by living this way, I can’t help but think that it is hurting him.</p>
<p>He looks more like 50 rather than in his 30s. Probably set in his ways.</p>
<p>That was odd when he peeled Jackie’s face off and made a point of mentioning she has a tongue.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Should have been human “interaction”…dang…</p>
<p>I guess this is all in the undercurrent, but you <em>do</em> realize that perhaps he married her so religiously he could consummate the marriage?</p>
<p>Thus, unless he is ultrahygienic, all he is bringing into a restaurant is a really really REALLY disgusting biohazard, and it’s NOT harmless.</p>
<p>And Adam Lanza was harmless until he wasn’t :(</p>
<p>Tom1944: I laughed out loud! </p>
<p>That’s why I could never move to the midwest because we just don’t have weirdos like that in NYC. I am not sure if New Yorkers would even stop to look.</p>
<p>“I guess this is all in the undercurrent, but you <em>do</em> realize that perhaps he married her so religiously he could consummate the marriage?”</p>
<p>Where do you get that from? I would have no reason to believe he waited to consummate.</p>
<p>Comparing him to Adam Lanza? Seriously? Thats way over the top.</p>
<p>ETA: And ixnay, please don’e encourage awcn to start talking about cowgirl positions in this thread. It was disgusting enough in the UVA frat thread.</p>
<p>No. Oh. My. Gosh.</p>

<p>From the title, I was briefly wondering if you were disclosing one of YOUR own fetishes. :D</p>
<p>After reading your OP, I then wondered if the man involved somehow lost a risky bet with one of his friends or even family members and had to dine with a mannequin as a humiliating way to make good on it. Worse, with smartphones and the internet, the humiliation is forever…especially if a certain individual is part of ensuring the loser of the bet is memorialized in some areas of cyberspace whether it’s youtube or CC. :D</p>
