    Get me some of that action!


    Why did they give it breasts? Surely pointless on a robot. As well as all the face and hair etc, but more so the breasts, are they required to help you identify it as human better? :eyebrow:

    ^^ Just what I was thinking.

    Reminds me of that Outer limits episode where the sex robot becomes jealous when her owner finds love with a real woman.

    Actually, for me, that's right there in the bottom of the uncanny valley. WAY too creepy.
