Newest Must Have Trend

These creepy so called "God dolls" are a new popular trend coming out of Thailand. Not all of them have the disturbing third eye markings but all are supposed to be inhabited by a child's spirit. They are purported to bring good luck when loved and cared for. Because, yeah, that's where I hope kids spirits go, into a creepy doll to bring good luck to some yuppie jerk.

Why do these "Thai" dolls look like Western children? Are they, perhaps, intended to cash in on hipsters wanting in on that Eastern mystic pownder?

People are actually buying seats on airplanes for these "children".
