This was in the Connecticut 'News-Times' this morning. A psychotherapist named Chuck Berke of Fairfield made a doll, modeled after himself, that repeats Eliza-style lines like "How do you feel about that?" when you hold its hand. He sells them for $29.99 each.
There's a picture of the doll (and the real Chuck, for comparison) with the article at http://news.newstimes.com/story.php?id=67927&channel=Local . You can buy them at Target online.
Anybody know this guy? He says he wants to get people to stop being so hard on themselves.

> This guy needs therapy.
The Dr Chuck doll really offends me. I've had a day to adjust to the idea and I like it even less now. I can't quite say why. I guess it's because it's FROM a therapist: it's like he's thumbing his nose at the whole idea of therapy.

I'd buy that immediately!! And Bob is way cuter than Chuck!
Note to Dr Bob: Please consider marketing this. It'd be a great fundraiser. (wink – LOL)

I'm surprised Dr. Phil didn't come up with the first one ... a doll saying :
"how's that working for you?"
and if you hold the other hand it says :
"what were you thinking!?!?!"

Hmm. How about 'please be civil' and 'thanks!'.

ok, so that was supposed to be funny.
I swear it was when I posted it, but not so now :-(

Uhhh, maybe I'm very bad, but I *did* think it was quite funny. So there.
And btw, that doll is utterly creepy and I think if I had it physically near me I might lose control and smash it to bits or something. Especially if it moved or spoke.
I'm not known for beating on things or people. But I do have prior issues with the Chuckie movies, and that guy's website just really bugs me...{shiver}
