Online shopping site Overstock.com is offering the 'Hug Me Pillow', a uniquely-shaped pillow that resembles a man's arm, aimed at women who simply need the comforting feeling of being hugged by a man at night. No wonder it's on sale from its usual US$44.95 price to now being only US$29.99..



Overstock.com claims that the pillow will offer comfort, as well as peace of mind, and its unique shape will provide a firm sleeping support.

Even weirder, here is an actual customer review taken from the site..

"I bought this pillow to keep me company on nights when my husband, a correspondent for the Trans-Alaskan News Network, was out of town. The pillow exceeded even my wildest expectations. I'm told the pillow was modeled after Brad Pitt, and I believe it! When I first nestled against the soft, but firm chest of my new "husband" I slept better than I ever had before. Now I don't mind when my husband goes out of town!"
