No Luck with Real Women, So Geek Built Himself a Fembot!

By Alex in Science & Tech, Video Clips on Dec 13, 2008 at 2:22 pm

Le Trung, a 33-year-old computer geek from Brampton, Ontario (yes, he still lives with his parents), didn’t have much luck with dating women. So he did the next best thing: he built himself a fembot!

He said: “Aiko doesn’t need holidays, food or rest, and will work almost 24 hours a day. She is the perfect woman.”

Aiko sparks mixed reactions in public.

Le said: “Women usually try to talk to her. But men always want to touch her, and if they do it the wrong way she slaps them.”

Geez, what a prude! But then again…even though she doesn’t want anyone touching her, she flashes up The Shocker at around 3:10. Hm.

Good God. This borders on creepy, bizarre, and just a hint crazy.

Creepy. Reminds me of the shallow quasi-humanness that is a Real Doll.

Ok, every time she said “come closer” I thought she was going to lunge out of her seat and go on a robotic, murdering, rampage.

The point in the video where everyone is poking her in the face will no doubt be used as anti-human propaganda when the robots eventually rise up against us.

For you guys who are thinking ‘creepy’, checking out the definition of ‘Uncanny Valley’ as TwoDragons mentioned.

As for ‘her’ creator, way to play into a steriotype!

“Aiko doesn’t need holidays, food or rest, and will work almost 24 hours a day. She is the perfect woman.”

Man i hate getting all feministy but damn, that’s harsh.
So when real females want to enjoy a birthday or xmas, require food, or actually want to sleep for those 8 hours instead of scrubbing your dishes barefoot in the kitchen, we’re horrible and flawed? (Ie not perfect?)
Enjoy your robot, jerk. I suggest a nice romantic bath for you both, while she’s plugged in and re-charging.

I like Anon’s bathtub suggestion. While they’re burning, make certain they have a copy of a steamy romance novel where men are completely objectified for their status and amazing biceps
