"The Nazis invented the sex doll"
Don't know if this is real or just a very strange joke, but...
Found this via Fleshbot on Blogcritics.org.
Maybe it's just me, but this reads like one of the stranger interludes in Gravity's Rainbow... One expects Tyrone Slothrop to burst into IG Farben's factory and liberate Borghild (great name) in a drug-induced fit of heroism.
Okay, it's definitely just me.
But you have to admit, this is damn interesting history. And I know this relates back to my mini-tirade about demystifying sex... but I'm not sure how, exactly. I'll condemn the Nazis and all that they've done, but the depth and degree of IG Farben's research for their "field-hygienic project" is understandable - and no different from research done today for teledildonics or whatever else. Actually, I'd be willing to bet they were more stringent and demanding in their research than today's sex toy manufacturers - they're IG Farben, for Christ's sake!
Anyway, just wanted to share.
