Doll Syndrome

A condition that occurs when people become so entranced in watching television or playing at the computer that they appear like dolls, staring off into the distance.

Affected individuals become seemingly immobile and do not respond to any outside stimuli.

People will less serious symptoms might still mutter "mmhmm" or "yup" in response to another person speaking to them, even though they haven't really heard them.

More serious symptoms include loss of the ability to blink, dry eyes, loss of weight, loss of sleep, and inability to respond to most stimuli.

Doll Syndrome is usually fixed by turning off the source, usually a television or computer.

Derived from the Russian matryoshka (nesting dolls), Russian Doll Syndrome is a description of what you may see if you x-rayed a female Chav or Stevenage resident. Russian Doll Syndrome could explain the population explosion of these groups!
