(Newser) – A sex toy found by a fisherman in a small Indonesian village was taken home, dressed up, and worshipped as an angel for weeks, the BBC reports, proving yet again that the world is a strange and wonderful place. According to the San Francisco Chronicle , the 21-year-old fisherman found the inflatable sex doll washed up on a beach in March, though other sources say it was floating at sea. Regardless, the Times notes the "naked, fair-skinned girl" impressed the fisherman with her "round green eyes and an expression of ambiguous rapture." The fisherman took the doll home to his village of Kalupapi, where it was dressed in a blouse, skirt, and hijab. His parents reportedly changed its clothes every day "as a sign of respect."
Photos of the doll soon spread online, along with rumors that it was a "bidadari," a type of spirit or angel. That rumor was bolstered by a solar eclipse that occurred shortly before the doll was found and reports that it had been crying when the fisherman found it. Police—afraid of how the population would react to headlines like "Angel in Sulawesi found fallen from the sky, naked and weeping"—launched an investigation. They determined the angel was actually a blowup doll and confiscated it, the
Huffington Post reports. "They have no Internet, they don't know what a sex toy is," an Indonesian police chief explains, per
AFP . (A campaign was recently launched to stop
the rise of sex robots .)

Gives a whole new meaning to ''mile high club.''
It must have already been blown up when he found it other wise how would he know how to do it. Had to blow off a boat or something. Then again, who am I to say, it might be an angel?
Why does the doll look like it's pregnant ?
Now that you mention it, it does doesn't it? I wonder if you can order them to look that way?
Just think, somewhere in the waters round Indonesia there is a poor sailor mourning his wife that blew away...pregnant. He'll never be able to meet his little...balloons...
I think I'll watch "The Gods Must Be Crazy" again.
