Well yeah, he made a $7000 sex robot, that's pretty much a given.

Yeah. The thing is, I'm fine with sex toys. Do I want a dildo with a whole male attached to it? No. But I would certainly not make one, have it say three or four recorded sentences, and then make jokes about how "it can't change the oil" or "take out the trash". Human companionship and worth shouldn't be reduced to chores you don't want to do.

I guess I see sex toys as one thing, and replacement robotic partners modeled after humans as something different. Once one makes the leap to building a fake human so that they can play out their sexual fantasies without involving another person...I dunno, that's hit a whole new kind of creepy to me.

Oh totally. Though I admit that I wasn't as completely creeped out by Lars and the Real Girl as I thought it would be. It was a sweet movie.

"You built her so she growls?"

The snow pictures are gorgeous. Make me want to throw another log on the fire and snuggle into a fleecy throw on the couch. With mulled cider. Or wine. Mmm, wine.

Oh! Yoda, Piggy, Bert, Grover, and Fozzie.

We just watched Lars and the Real Girl, so I find the subject of life like sex toys an odd coincidence.

It's one of those things, sex toys, fun by yourself, fun with partner, all kinds of fun.

Surrogate sex doll with a partner, sounds like a threeway with a blender.

I'll stick with the humans for teh sex, but I sure would like a robot for the dishes and vacuuming. Wouldn't care if it was male or female either.

We just watched Lars and the Real Girl,

And we are going to a little birthday dinner for our friend Nancy, who wrote that movie, tonight. Her mom, who had been ill a long time, just died a couple of weeks ago, so this is also a gathering just to be there for Nancy, if you know what I mean.

Scrappy, I am so sorry for your friend's loss. We quite enjoyed the movie fwiw.
