It has been reported from some of the racier parts of the computer games business that inflatable sex toys are supplanting the cardboard dog as the Walkthroughee of choice - but for my tastes, they seem to present a look of perpetual suprise which somehow leads me to suspect that I have a dangling pointer or some such.

Brilliant.
