Pent up anger can be unhealthy so let's admit it, we all need some valve to release our anger before it kills us.
Introducing the Abuse Me Doll. With mood-sensitive camera eyes and other detectors, it will obligingly invite you to abuse it when it senses that you need the therapy. Before each
session, you can set a new identity for it (e.g. your neighbour) and the doll will respond to that name.
This ultra-durable doll (3-month warranty) will respond to all manners of physical abuse and insults you throw at it.
Programmed responses include: whining for mercy, kowtowing in submission, agonized screams, abject misery, shameful confessions ("it's all MY fault!"), begging for forgiveness, and general grovelling.
(There's already a similar idea about a doll that explodes, but this one responds in much more satisfactory ways.)

Is this so you can hone your child abuse skills, baboo? |

I think you might need help. |

make it 6ft tall, 200 lbs, muscular and male with blue eyes and you're on to a winner. |

He'd also be on to an idea we've done before Po. |

perhaps you could just email UnaBubba, po? |
|

Isn't this just an elaborate punching clown? |
|
| |
I'l go for it if it has the right to fight back, having a doll beat you up might be more of a stress reliever and a good reality check. |

You already have the doll's name worked out I see. |

The idea that working out your aggressions against inanimate objects is somehow therapeutic has been discredited among psychologists. |
|
| |
Try playing the drums instead. It's an inanimate object that is actually designed to be hit, and you can pretend you're being a creative musician type at the same time. I don't know about psychologists, but I find going at the set for an hour or two to be very relaxing. |

Start with the "Slam Man" [link]. It needs some upgrades, but it should work. |
