I like how all of you dumb asses who are too stupid to make a decent robot, and probably too stupid to even operate one, like to make fun of the Japanese, who will be eating your lunch when your next housekeeper is made by them. Let that thought "eat your brain."

@Havok154: Chances are, it is programmed to eat your brain. It's like a bad 80s horror movie in reality. And in Japan.

@SomeoneUKno:
Or how about actually contributing to the discussion instead of repeating the same, tired old meme in every single post.

On-topic: I seriously couldn't keep that thing in my house. My dog would flip and I'd have nightmares of it eating my brain.

"Cats don't have souls. Animals don't have souls. People are the only living things with souls everything else just dies and then they're dead. We still exist after we die."

And then the Tooth Fairy, who carpools with Santa and the Easter Bunny, leaves a Susan B. Anthony dollar under your pillow.

Hey, you can't PROVE it doesn't happen, which means you're OBLIGATED to believe it, just like with the Bible.

I would rather have the animatronic cat, salem, off of that tv show sabrina the teenage witch. But it sound like and would have the demeanor of dave chappell or samuel l jackson.

That was screwed up when they pulled its tail it made a noise that a cat actually would it you trod on it, to get that noise they must have hurt and or abused a cat, only in the far east would that be morally acceptable.

@Cassifras: totally agree. Eat that, cat fanbois! Cats are boring, stuck up, expensive, and don't have any good exclusives. Dogs are way more awesome, have a huge library of games, and HDMI support.

Wait a minute... what are we talking about again?

After watching that, my own cat is now hissing at my monitor. Hmmm...Maybe I should get one so that she can have some company. Why do I fear, though, that it would come to life at night and change her, turning her into some kind of Stepford cat?
But really, what's the point of a cat who won't leave you little dead "treats" on your pillow?
