INSTANT INFLATABLE GAY BEST FRIEND

INSTANT INFLATABLE GAY BEST FRIEND



Tesco, one of the leading supermarket chains in the UK, was selling a novelty blow-up toy called the Instant Inflatable Gay Best Friend! On sale for £5-99, the inflatable male doll is dressed in a figure-hugging pink top and blue shorts and it has a "smiling, Gary Lineker-esque face". The doll, according to Tesco, is "ready to give you fashion advice, tell you if your bum looks big and bitch about everyone who doesn't wear Jimmy Choos".

Tesco was widely condemned for selling the doll. Peter Tatchell, the gay rights campaigner, said it "panders to rather clichéd, tired, stereotypes". The chief executive of the gay rights group Stonewall commented: "This is like trying to sell ice to Eskimos. We can't imagine why any woman would choose to buy an inflatable gay best friend when there is two million of the real thing already available in modern Britain and most of them are much better looking than Tesco's pale imitation."

Tesco has since withdrawn the doll from sale, though it is still available from other outlets like Amazon.

Do you shop at supermarkets? If so, where do you go?
As a , did you have a doll as a best friend?
Have you ever purchased or used an inflatable doll for sex?
How many best friends do you have?


I don’t like shopping at Tesco; I tend to shop at Sainsbury’s. I have never seen an inflatable doll outside its packaging in a shop. I have a handful of best friends, though paying £5-99 for another best friend sounds a bargain.

I usually shop at the military stores near me, generally best prices and quality and no taxes

I have really only a handful of "best " friends, they are people that I have trusted with my life in the past. There are many friends, I reserve the "Best" title for those that are proven

We shop at several supermarkets...hitting the sales.
Never a doll!
Never purchased an inflatable or used one!
Other than my wife, my best friend died in 2004..now I have one here that I have never met.

    Quoting AmeliaCox:
    Haha, hilarious post, spunky... This reminds me of the 'Sassy Sam' dolls that were available by mail order from the US in the late 70s/early 80s... He was alarmingly camp and the cliche of all the gayest cliches. I'm fundamentally very pro-homo and do not understand any vilification of same-sex oriented people.

    Now to answer your questions... I do shop at Supermarkets, Coles and Woolworths and IGA, each have exclusive lines of products that I have strong preferences for and I bluntly refuse to buy generic brands.
    As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any toys, much less dolls... I had an invisible friend.
    I never have and never would purchase an inflatable doll for sex but would, if the necessity arose, pay for a sex-worker... Hey, it's contributing to their income if it's their choice of livelihood.
    As for how many best friends I have... I'm never really sure who my true friends are... So counting besties is not possible.
I love campness!
Woolworths went into administration in the UK. People miss their pick-n-mix sweets.

I don't think we have military stores in the UK outside military bases.

I'm too lazy; I try and do all my shopping in one shop within walking distance where I live.

    Quoting AmeliaCox:
    I suspected that you love campness based upon the 'Carry On...' pic and reference at the top of your blog... Whose brand of campness did you enjoy the most... That of Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey or Hattie Jacques?
    Tell me your favourite and I'll tell you mine
I'm not a fan of Charles Hawtrey's campness, I much prefer Kenneth Williams and Hattie Jacques. What's your favourite camp character?

    Hattie Jacques. I loved her in 'Make Mine Mink' with Terry Thomas.

    I'm also a big Frankie Howerd fan... I adore him in 'Up The Chastity Belt'
Frankie Howard was brilliant! I also like Leslie (Ding Dong) Phillips and Joan Sims.
