I recall this ELO song from the 1980s. The song is about a guy who falls in love with a robot with a human female form. My favorite line,
“she has an IQ of 1001, she has a jumpsuit on, she’s also a telephone…”
The song wasn’t a hit. Somebody created a video to the song that captures the technological romanticism of that era.
I find this stereotyping of Japanese as being obsessed with robots offensive.
The styling is pretty lame. They could have made it look like C3PO.
found you a pet hpd:

“I find this stereotyping of Japanese as being obsessed with robots offensive.”
I think being obsessed with robots is quite cool – especially if it’s a response to wanting to keep Japan, Japanese.
@anonymous – “I find this stereotyping of Japanese as being obsessed with robots offensive.”
what stereotyping of the japanese…?
@rjp – “found you a pet”
heh! (^_^) (you know that all teh kittehs can do that, don’t you…? (~_^) )
@andrew – “I recall this ELO song from the 1980s. The song is about a guy who falls in love with a robot with a human female form.”
fantastic! (^_^) never heard that song before. the video was pretty good, too. thanks!
I now understand how they will handle the massive greying of their population. Asimo LPNs, RNs, CNAs and the like for elderly health care needs.
@sobl1 – “I now understand how they will handle the massive greying of their population. Asimo LPNs, RNs, CNAs and the like for elderly health care needs.”
that’s the plan! (~_^)
