Your Own Personal Therapist

- Only £7 for a lifetime’s advice -

There’s no doubt about it, life is complicated. From the moment we wake up in the morning you have to make decisions: what should I wear today?, should I tell my boss where to stick his deadlines?, should I ask out the hot new guy in the office?, or should I just stay in bed all day?

So many dilemmas, but so few people to confide in…and not all us are diva enough to demand an extortionist therapist. What we need is someone who is always there to turn to, someone who can give us their undivided attention no matter what and someone who can be brutally honest and give us a straightforward yes or no (as long as it’s the right answer of course!).

Well, that special someone has just arrived in the form of Unazukin – an egg shaped listening doll from Japan. Dubbed the yes/no doll, it’s already a huge hit in Japan – selling over a million in under a year - and is hitting UK stores this summer. Ask Unazukin a question and she will reply with a yes (one nod of her head), a no (one shake of her head), a definite yes (a double nod of her head) or a definite no (two shakes of her head). Therapists are quivering on their couches as the Unazukin invasion means everyone can have that much needed decision-maker and confidante – and she fits conveniently in your pocket or bag.

If only they’d asked Una it could have been so different…

-Kate Moss – Russell or Pete?
-Sven Goran Eriksson – Rooney or Defoe?
-Neo – the red or the blue pill?
-John Prescott – work or croquet?
-Dorothy – the yellow or red brick road?
-Hamlet – to be or not to be?

Imagine how simple life could be if you had an Unazukin.
