If You Build It, They Will Come (Evidently)

OK, boys and girls- I think that we have officially "gone too far" as our parents, teachers, or other adults have told us all at one point or another:

No, you're not looking at a still from the remake of the "Other Sister"- say hello to Roxxxy (clever, no?) and her inventor, Douglas Hines. Roxxxy is 5 foot 7, 120 pounds of hypoallergenic silicone molded over a rigid skeleton. That's right, bitches- Roxxxy is a talking sex robot & for a mere $7,000, she can be yours.

Hines, a self-professed happily married man (I would love to hear what the wife says about that), spent more than three years developing the robot. "She doesn't vacuum or cook, but she does almost everything else," Hines quipped. Ha, ha.

There's a motor in her chest that pumps heated air through a tube that keeps her warm to the touch, she has sensors in her hands and genital areas, and she shudders to simulate orgasm.

Hines says that his customer base is dorky-ass or old-ass dudes who can't get laid (okay, I paraphrased, but I'm betting that's what he meant). To make them feel less like Freaky McWeirdo, who's got a permanent restraining order filed mentally by women and children everywhere, Roxxxy has different dialouges, she talks in her sleep, and she even snores. "She's a real girl," he cried.

Here's an idea, take the $7,000 and invest in some intense self-help tools. Seriously. Because if a dude is creepy and doesn't know how to talk to women- or he's uncomfortable with a woman, that's one thing- there's help if they want to search for it.

But, as we all know, a lot of men who can't relate to women dehumanize us in insidious and violent ways, which makes for great episodes of "Forensic Files", "Dateline", and "The First 48"; but a good date? Not so much. It's really frightening to think of what these Ted Bundy reduxs will do when they think that human females aren't.
