    A friend of mine had a bobblehead of her deployed husband made, and it really looked like him. She would place it in family photos on holidays and spent a day taking pictures of it at his favorite spots around town like the gnome in Amelie.

    @o-line: Perhaps because a bobblehead is random, funny and small enough to fit in a purse but I find that to be very cute and this cutout to be very weird and attention-grabby.

    Also, how is this a threesome? Is the cutout somehow involved with both of them sexually? Is this a Real Doll for ladies?

    I love that this gets a "soldier cutout" tag AND a plain ol' "cutout" tag as well.

    Is she allowed to take it into restaurants with signs outside that say "No shoes, no shirt, no service"?

    I think it would be really sweet if she just carried this to special places for photos to send to him, but to take it everywhere?...Whatever happened to wearing an old shirt of his?

    I sometimes think that people in Miami try to keep playing the "We're totally scandalous!" tune a little too hard now that we're becoming something of a mainstream tourist spot. It's like Vegas playing up the whole "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" as more and more kid and family friendly attractions are going up.

    And yeah, that whole story freaked me out a tiny bit. I guess it's sweet but… misguided?

    "Anne Schollard, who lives in Jacksonville, carries her new cardboard man everywhere she goes - the beach, movies or on a plane. As you can expect, she gets all kinds of crazy looks from people who think she has truly lost it."

    This is a bit too much for me, not cute at all.

    @mariposatraicionera: Part of me is convinced she's secretly being ironic, like a hipster who decorates the lawn with pink plastic flamingos. Maybe that's not even her boyfriend...she just found a hot dude and had a cardboard cutout made of his picture. So when her actual boyfriend comes back from overseas and says "Who the hell is that?", she'll be all "What? You were gone, and I needed some company. It's no different than your Real Doll."

    @mariposatraicionera: I can't know what it's like to be in her position, but it does also seem that she's doing this a little bit for the attention. i.e.

    "Hello. Why are you carrying around a cut-out of a guy in swim trunks"

    "Oh, this is my boyfriend who is deployed in Iraq. I carry this so that I can feel near him."

    "Ooooh, you poor thing! I'm so sorry!"

    @DaniFae: Agreed. My husband was deployed in 2006 and was on patrol everyday during a particularly bad time there, and I would never do anything like this because I wanted to avoid stupid questions at all cost. Whatever gets her through it though...if getting attention makes her happy, then I guess she should go for it. It was just not my thing.
