Lo, that was a serious con.

“Then I was all like, I’ll go to Comic Con Saturday, the busiest day, that’s not overwhelming or ill-advised whatsoever! Awesome!”

It’s always lovely when science fiction becomes real: when man flies to the moon, when man unlocks the secrets of the human genome, when man makes a female automaton to be his companion and house slave.

WHAT. Dude, I just report the news.

My favorite quotes from the article:

“She doesn’t need holidays, food or rest and she will work almost 24-hours a day. She is the perfect woman,” he said.

“Women are generally impressed and try to talk to her. But the men always want to touch her, and if they do it in the wrong way they get a slap.”

I actually feel for this guy – he was eight when he made his first robot, so he’s smart in that way where you never have a childhood because you can’t even relate to anyone. Plus, he’s [edit: 33] and he had a heart attack last year, which, dude, VACATION. No wonder he doesn’t want the stress of dealing with real people. (This is sort of also how I feel about RealDolls, which are totally creepy, but if guys who are a little nuts are happy sitting at home with a RealDoll, it means they’re not out on the streets, you know? I dunno.)

So yeah, I can see how he would just give up on real people and make himself a robot. Naturally it’s not a wisecracking guy sidekick, but a beautiful lady. Then again, in a sea of sex dolls, he made himself a genuine companion whose virtue he clearly respects, since he programmed her to slap anyone who grabbed at her (which is hysterical).

But, dude. Seriously. Vacation.
