Here we see a bunch of weirdos criticising another bunch of weirdos for doing weird but essentially harmless acts that do not affect anyone else in any way.
Paris councillors are due to decide on the future of a business where clients are charged €89 ($109; £78) to spend an hour with a silicon sex doll, local media report. Communist councillors and feminist groups have been calling for the closure of Xdolls. Currently, Xdolls is registered as a games centre, but opponents argue it is effectively a brothel. Owning or operating a brothel is illegal in France.
But its critics want to see it shut. Nicolas Bonnet Oulaldj, a communist [well there's your problem] councillor, is taking the matter before the Council of Paris - the deliberative body responsible for governing the city - which is meeting this week. "Xdolls conveys a degrading image of the woman," he is quoted as saying in Le Parisien.
He and his fellow councillors are calling for a ban on Xdolls, saying operates like a brothel. Mr Lousquy says the dolls are sex toys and that he does not see them as degrading to women. Lorraine Questiaux, lawyer and spokesperson for a Paris feminist association, says "that in France, every year, there are 86,000 women raped". "Xdolls is not a sex shop. It's a place that generates money and where you rape a woman," Ms Questiaux, who also wants the centre closed, adds.
Umm, less Questiaux is actually suggesting there are real women being violated, with the sex doll thing as a front, that's the dumbest thing I've heard this month.

We are the guiltless pleasures
of the lonely human being.
You're not gonna get us pregnant
or have us to supper with Mommy and Daddy.
We work under you,
we work on you
and we work for you.
Man made us better
at what we do
than was ever humanly possible.
