quade 4 #2 January 10, 2010 I know there is a wide range of sexual preferences out there, but if folks wanted the "Frigid Farrah" setting, couldn't they save a lot of money just talking most of the women they know in real life?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #3 January 10, 2010 No, Paul. Talking to them - that would be good for most. But for that true liquid hydrogen level of frigidity, it takes marriage. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The website is useless; Most every link just takes you to a form where you can submit name/address. Here is a video with an interview of the creator and the doll sitting on a couch. It is a robot-enthusiast site, so perhaps it won't be blocked. Seems odd she is motionless throughout the interview. http://www.botjunkie.com/2010/01/09/ces2010-roxxxy-truecompanion-worlds-first-sex-robot-preview-nsfw/"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

JohnMitchell 16 #9 January 10, 2010 Maybe they'll remake the movie "Lars and the Real Girl" with a talking sex dummy. Wow, that would add a whole new dimension to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #10 January 10, 2010 Quote Seems odd she is motionless throughout That is the "wife" doll. The teeth are a little nerve wracking. That can't be good. I don't see the ability to speak as ever being a selling point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And those episodes of "Boston Legal" with Shatner's "Shirley Schmidt-Ho" doll could have been livened up with a moving, talking one.Consider that users of TomTom GPS units can buy celebrity voices for their devices. I'll bet there would be a huge market for robots with Carmen Electra's appearance and voice."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

Andy9o8 2 #12 January 10, 2010 They should market the "divorce model": make a robot who hates your guts, and then buy her a house. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freefal 0 #13 February 1, 2010 All the talking technoligy is great... but what kind of sammiches can she make? "Ignorance is bliss" and "Patience is a virtue"... So if you're stupid and don't mind waiting around for a while, I guess you can have a pretty good life! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #14 February 2, 2010 Quotethe robot itself will cost from $7,000 to $9,000 depending on the level of customization you choose. Much cheaper than the real thing. Of course, if you want to take her on vacation with her, she needs to go in the checked baggage, which would be an additional $30 + $50 more for it being over 50 pounds. Anyway, I doubt her physical movements are that sophisticated, which is why they never show video of her moving. But it seems like cell phones took about 25 years to go from really crappy to pretty darn good, and that was with a huge, worldwide user base. It'll probably be another 100 years before these things get any good. After that, in the words of Scott Adams, humanity is doomed.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.
