“36, 24, 36? Only if she’s 15 inches tall.”

While Skynet 5 watches us from Low Earth Orbit, Skynet is positioning itself to watch lonely men. Reader Devin Wolfe sends along news that Japan’s Sega Toys, obviously infiltrated by Skynet, has created a 15-inch, battery run femmebot. Named E.M.A. (Eternal Maiden Actualization), the $175 femmebot sings, dances, and kisses on command when operating in “love mode.” Creeeeepy.

Now when I think of a non-human companion, I normally think of a dog or cat or lizard. Robot comes in somewhere towards the bottom of the list. But I think that’s because robots aren’t as ubiquitous here as they are in Japan. This still kind of creeps me out, but it’s quite possible that it will sell amazingly well in a market so used to robots in every day life.
