Fake silicon bellies

When you taking bus and found a nice place seated. You stand up when you see a pregnant woman all the way up to the bus. You invite her to take your seat, she said thanks to you politely. You feel satisfied and you are proud of yourself of doing a good deed. What if you found out that she is actually wearing a "fake belly" to pretend that she is pregnant? Currently saw a news reported that there are silicon fake silicon bellies selling online. There can be categorized into few groups: 2-4 months, 5-7 months, and 8-9 months. The size of having the twins baby belly also available. I feel surprise when i read this news. What is the purpose of pretending to be pregnant? I wondering. What i found out from the news is some people using that to increase the comedy effect(for acting), for baby adoption, find people for surrogacy (maybe they cannot deliver baby so pretend to be pregnant), avoid from being fired by boss. Some even merely for the benefits of being a pregnant woman such as avoiding long queue and seat for the public transportation. I was like: What? How can the pregnancy be fake? How can they spoiling the image of a pregnant mummy? This is just like lying. For the comedy effect can be understandable, but for others, is really cheating. However, it still depends on the situation. Can this be classified as white lies? I do not know how if the people find out the truth. No matter how I think still one day the people around them will dig out the truth. Despite of my comments, this fake silicon bellies is very popular now. It is worth RM196-RM588. Some buyers stated that they enjoy of being a pregnant woman when the people around her will take good care of her. But still, I feel uncomfortable of knowing this. However no people can predict the future. Who knows in the future I might need them? Cannot deny that this is very creative, and really satisfy some customers needs. But in the future we have to know to identify the "real" or "fake" pregnant in case we getting cheated. But still this is better than you having a real beer belly. At least this can be take off.
