hell

For years, guys in high school have barely wondered what the source is to the mysterious glitter found on their clothes for days and months after vacating a girl’s bedroom. Has Etsy finally let the immortal, sparkling, man-shaped, phallic-necked, vampire pillow out of the bag?

This week, photos of $35 Twilight-themed ”manllows” like the nightmarish one above—the Robert “Pasty” Pattison model—made the leap from an Etsy shop to Tumblr, causing the latter site to become more difficult to tolerate. After the jump, we have a deeper look at this troubling trend of male objectification for the sake of fem-geek bedtime fantasy. This just in: the first documentation of a Twilighter manillow sandwich…

“Never mind, I found a bookmark. Two of them. Ha.”

Here is the official item description for the Taylor Lautner manllow…

For all the twilight [sic] crazed lonely women in the world, Jacob Black is finally here to be with you and only you. Sleep with him, cuddle with him, use him as a neck rest, the Jacob Manllow is there to be your man and pillow all in one. Don’t worry, in the Manllow world, all men are of age.

What is creepier? The sentence highlighted above or the fact that “manllow” is so close to “Manilow, Barry”?

Or simply knowing that these manllows are currently sold-out?

“Last weekend, my manllow and I made Valentine’s Day number one. Wouldn’t it be great if Hollywood decided to make movies titled and themed after every holiday now? Wait, they are?! Fun!”

Question: In your opinion, does the manllow affect Lautner’s chances of becoming the next Hollywood action star?

    Next thing you know someone will end up marrying these pillows legally. It's not like it would be the first time to happen either. When people can marry pillows and Nintendo DS cartridges then there's something wrong with people in general.

  • This whole gender thing is going backwards. It won't be long before guys are nothing more than sexual objects and will be made into pillows...oh wait. Let's just stop twilight.

    wow, just wow, how the fuck can anyone take those seriously
  • I think its the best idea ever.
  • Does it come with the glittering dildo? Or is that sold separately?
  • Wow....creepy. There is no way I'd let my teenage daughter have one of those, if she wanted one, thank goodness she has good taste and sense.
  • quintushalls
    But what about a Bill Nye manillow?
  • I guess chubby emo tweens need something to hold onto at night!?
  • Chad
    That girl needs to be on me instead of that manllow.
  • Dear God those things are ugly, and creepy.
  • Seeing those pillows is most unsettling experience I've had since actually watching Twilight.
  • dagreenman18
    If James Franco were gay, he'd be pleased.

    Seriously though, this may be creepier than the anime sex pillow.
  • you're being such a non-pillow right now!
