I’ll wait for the Nexus 6, thank you. And even then I’d make sure it wasn’t a unit cross-trained for assassination.

What would happen if you put that thing in a room with the animatronic Bill Clinton from the Hall of Presidents? Would they start “Manufacturing?”

What the fuck is this shit? Why can’t a single one of these assholes who make these sex dolls make a female face that looks halfway appealing? That doll’s face with the big, fat, bloated lower lip looks like a Habsburg emperor. Jesus H. Christ, you’d think the face would be the easy part, after getting all the anatomical proportions of the body right. They can make goddamn manikins for department stores with more attractive faces than that, for 1/16th of the cost, so what the fuck gives?

I dunno about the animatronic one, But I’d bet the real Bill Clinton would hit that.

I just got to the thread and I clicked the link and scrolled down to the bottom.

And I saw a picture of…

Anne Hathaway.

My first reaction: “I f-ing knew it! I always throught she looked a little Stepford-ish…” :eek:

Then I scrolled up and saw the pictures of the real robot.

:smack:  
I think I owe Ms. Hathaway an apology… ☹

And back to the thread question, no. Not ever.

If there were a nuclear holocaust and I was the only survivor and both of my arms were blown off. And then only if I were feeling really desperate.

This.

I fail to see how having sex with a robot is really any different from masturbating.
