Before we get to the video, a quick quiz: is it appropriate to reference 9/11 in your pitch speech about the sex doll you built? Please answer in full sentences.
Acceptable answers include:*
“It is not appropriate to reference 9/11 in your pitch speech about the sex doll you built.”
“It is really, really not appropriate to reference 9/11 in your pitch about the sex doll you built.”
Meet Roxxxy (of course), the five-foot-seven sex doll that comes with several different personalities, including Wild Wendy, Frigid Farah, and S&M Susan. Creator Douglas Hines tells us that these different settings allow users to not only have sex with the robot, but also to bond with her, because, as he reminds us, sex isn’t everything. Related: the amount our world resembles that of AI has a direct correlation with the amount I want that walking, talking teddybear companion of Haley Joel Osment to kill me in my sleep and save me from the horror.
Hines has also included touch sensors all over her body, according to the man himself, but frankly the video makes it seem like the only ones that really work are her in her hands, which prompt her to say things as varied as “I know where you can put that” and “Where are you going to put that?” But please – watch the video below, and tell me that you have ever watched ten seconds of video as eye-scratchingly awkward as the moment Hines inelegantly fingers his frightening sex robot in front of a crowd of onlookers, desperately hoping her touch sensor will work and she will utter some random sexual banality.
*While “What the fuck?” and “Seriously? Seriously?” are correct, they are not full sentences and therefore unacceptable.
