Guys and Dolls: An Ugly Remake

While many may view them as nothing more than pillows with personality, David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim's Uglydolls are a force to be reckoned with.

Released in 2002, the cute yet ugly plush toys have taken the world by storm. Seen in movies to music videos, the toys have built up a solid foundation of loyal followers.

For some, common sense might dictate that the dolls' collectors would be predominantly female, or 50/50 at best. An interesting article posted in the New York Times contends that statement, though.

The New York Times' Donald McNeal Jr. takes some time to write in depth about his young son's obsession with the toys, branching out to what he sees as a wide fan-base of boys. He paints a great picture, and it's certainly worth the 5-minute read.
