Video: Japanese Fembot
posted at 8:06 pm on October 8, 2006 by Allahpundit
How does one of the world’s most technologically advanced societies address the need for companionship in an age of historically low birth rates?
Logically. Very logically.
The Telegraph reports on a small but noteworthy trend among single women in the UK who’ve decided to cut us out of the equation. The New York Times magazine ran a similar story a few months ago. For women with the means, men are increasingly becoming expendable.
You have us at a disadvantage, ladies. But only for the moment.
Bonus robot link! If they perfect this soon, I might not need Japanese Fembot.

…and thus was roneriness wiped from the face of the earth.

They take the yin out of the yang with this sort of thing, preventing some of the best kind of lovin’. the “making-up” romperoo!

Man, all this negativity surprises me. Am I the only one who was affected by that Rosie O’donnell sex clip? My libido was completely destroyed. Everytime I thought about women in a romantic way, Rosie would pop up like Agent Smith in the matrix, and I would vomit myself into unconsciousness. I can’t understand a word the fembot said, and that, in and of itself makes her better than Rosie.

Anyone seen Cherry 2000?
With Pamela Gidley and Melanie Griffith.
From imdb:
Just sayin.
nailinmyeye on October 8, 2006 at 8:37 PM
Allah-
You’ve got one of these on order, don’t you?
harrison on October 8, 2006 at 8:38 PM
That chick so wants me!
RightWinged on October 8, 2006 at 8:41 PM
err.. I mean…..
RightWinged on October 8, 2006 at 8:42 PM
Now if you could only shut her up.
Jeff on October 8, 2006 at 8:44 PM
I don’t make enough to afford one — yet.
See now why it’s so important that Hot Air succeed?
Allahpundit on October 8, 2006 at 8:45 PM
RESPECT JAPANESE FEMBOT.
Allahpundit on October 8, 2006 at 8:46 PM
ALL YOUR SCHWANZ ARE BELONG TO US
Kid from Brooklyn on October 8, 2006 at 8:48 PM
There is a way to shut her up and have happy joy time too.
Just sayin…..
bbz123 on October 8, 2006 at 8:48 PM
Ah, brings a song to mind….
ahem…Step right up, and don’t be shy. Cuz you will not believe your eyes..she’s right here, behind the blind. And you’re gonna like her, cause she’s got class….
If you step outside your little world, you can talk to a pretty girl; she’s everything you dream aboooouuut….so don’t fall in love….she’s a beauty..one in a million girl…
and so on. One of my favorite videos back 2 decades ago when MTV played them. The Tubes…I’m so old…domo arigato, Japanese Fembot, for that happy memory.
austinnelly on October 8, 2006 at 8:49 PM
Let’s please keep things semi-respectable, gentlemen.
We respect Japanese Fembot for her robot mind, not her body.
Allahpundit on October 8, 2006 at 8:52 PM
When they make one with the face of Bethany or KP Allah will take out a loan to get one. Only he’ll re-record the voice file to have the corresponding voice from Real Verse or Fox News broadcasts.
Allah, you respect Japanese Fembot for her mind? If true, I dare you to listen to the audio only of her during the duration of tomorrow’s dinner. Mind…heh.
Bellicose Muse on October 8, 2006 at 8:55 PM
BTW, there is an Islamic Fembot too. It wears a burkha, does not speak and walks 3 paces behind its owner. It also shoots an AK-47 into the air.
Bellicose Muse on October 8, 2006 at 8:57 PM
Say, why do you suppose they built this robot to look like an attractive young woman instead of, say, an old man or a child or an animal of some kind?
The odds of them making it look like a hot chick can’t be less than, oh, 1 to 1.
Allahpundit on October 8, 2006 at 8:58 PM
The best part is if she gets on your nerves you just unplug the little minx.
Alden Pyle on October 8, 2006 at 9:03 PM
1:02 into the first clip they give a full body shot; she’s actually pretty hot…… for a robot I mean.
Alden Pyle on October 8, 2006 at 9:06 PM
Same for Japanese Manbot, which surely shall follow Japanese Fembot to the marketplace.
You get to enjoy this golden age too, ladies.
Allahpundit on October 8, 2006 at 9:06 PM
Wow, that’s freaky… And I don’t mean that in a bad way..
Like Kazinskieyieoey, or however the hell you spell it, I’m, like, so conflicted…….
HerrMorgenholz on October 8, 2006 at 9:27 PM
Yeah, that’s nice. Hey, did anybody catch the Eagles game?
Tony737 on October 8, 2006 at 9:58 PM
Yeah, that’s nice. Hey, did anybody catch the Eagles game?
Woooo hoooooo! Go Eaglessssss!
Tony737 on October 8, 2006 at 9:58 PM
Stay on topic. There’s a post up about the Eagles if you want to talk about that.
Allahpundit on October 8, 2006 at 9:59 PM
From the last link, a dollop of dimwittedness:
I’m sure she’s a lovely, non-self-absorbed parent.
Pablo on October 8, 2006 at 10:08 PM
Two questions,
can the sound be turned off, and is she anatomically correct?
rightside on October 8, 2006 at 10:19 PM
I was suggesting a fine sushi fest Allah,where is your mind at? I am appalled that you would think something…dirty ( Cue Gilmore Girls)
bbz123 on October 8, 2006 at 10:28 PM
aint technology wonderful?
johnnyU on October 8, 2006 at 11:22 PM
That’s too bad. I’m holding out for the F/X Limited Edition “Rosie O’Donnell Pretends To Enjoy Straight Sex” Fembot. ($400K in pretend money sold separately)
Kid from Brooklyn on October 8, 2006 at 11:34 PM
I, for one, would like to welcome our new bot overlords.
Bellicose Muse on October 9, 2006 at 12:07 AM
Allah is balding? Here’s hoping that one among MKH, KP or Bethany isn’t bothered by baldness. We just want to see you happy.

SELF-WINDING ROBOT GEISHA: Love springs eternal.
Dr. Charles G. Waugh on October 9, 2006 at 1:00 AM
She comes with 3 standard phrases – “koneechiwa”, “ohayo gozaimusu”, and “Are you Sara Connor?”
cat4amt on October 9, 2006 at 1:14 AM
I’m telling ya’ll, people haven’t begun to understand the implications of digital technology. In the area of sex alone, think about what’s going to happen when readily available fiber optics meets wall-size home screens meets webcams meets fembots. I think about it a lot….
Halley on October 9, 2006 at 2:07 AM
Really, it’s only a more advanced version of Disney’s Hall of Presidents animatronics. And that was, what, 40 years ago?
Only, not as Lincoln-esque.
Mibrilane on October 9, 2006 at 2:22 AM
Good one. I’m sure, without having checked, that if someone posted this at Fark it includes a Sarah Connor reference.
Bellicose Muse on October 9, 2006 at 4:10 AM
Cue the “Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion” speech.
Sean M. on October 9, 2006 at 4:59 AM
Look like the Outer Limits might be prophetic.
georgej on October 9, 2006 at 6:03 AM
He was wrong, Rachel was special. No expiration.
I expected a Blade Runner reference much sooner in this thread. When I first ran the video I was wondering if they had a Sean Young face available. Not that I care, just pondering…
Freelancer on October 9, 2006 at 6:47 AM
Still has to go back to the lab for repairs, one week, every month….
shermacman on October 9, 2006 at 8:24 AM
Sooo…she’s not overly-emotional and doesn’t wait for The Oprah for marching orders? Sweet!
SouthernGent on October 9, 2006 at 9:20 AM
Wow, there’s the liberal answer for pedophiles, “fake” children for them to molest. Oh wait, other liberal minds would form a PETP “People against the Ethical Treatment of Peoplebots” group to try to stop it. Nevermind.
NRA4Freedom on October 9, 2006 at 10:18 AM
Looks like Japan is finally catching up with Walt Disney.
Sorry, I’m not that impressed.

Click on those ad links NOW!
Meanwhile, the poor ladies are stuck with an arm-shaped pillow for companionship.

The Almighty is BALD????
There’s hope for me!!!!!!

Rightside asks “. . . is she anatomically correct?”
She’s a robot, not a hoe-bot.
Dr. Charles G. Waugh on October 9, 2006 at 11:14 AM
Her lips don’t move with the sound…kinda like watching an old Japanese movie.
jdpaz on October 9, 2006 at 12:12 PM
Think how much trouble we’d have been saved if a certain U.S. Representative had had a robot of his own.
Kralizec on October 9, 2006 at 12:58 PM
The Hello Kitty T-Shirt and school girl skirt make me feel dirty when I look at her like a dog eyeballing a pork chop.
Alden Pyle on October 9, 2006 at 2:34 PM
I just ran these videos through my handy-dandy-swifty-nifty-trusty-dusty fauxtography ethno-sensormatic authenticating truthorizer and it verifies this robot is, in fact, Michelle Malkin. Brace your selves for another wave of MDS. I’m so glad the technology exists to help us sort out these pesky sublime subtleties of who’s who and what’s what.

What is the male model of this called? The Dembot?
