Was that obama's gnappy head at 2:13? Now we know what that creep does when he's supposed to be in Hawaii….with Moosh and the girls.

Come on, admit it, those Japanese have got it going on. You know you like it.

Puzzling to me. I can't even come up with a cogent response to understand the appeal.
Is it part of having a virtual life when reality is too overwhelming ?

What is with child like women posing with Western looking women robots ?

"Hiroo Onoda, Soldier Who Hid in Jungle for Decades, Dies at 91" By Robert D. McFadden
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/18/world/asia/hiroo-onoda-imperial-japanese-army-officer-dies-at-91.html

"Hiroo Onoda, an Imperial Japanese Army officer who remained at his jungle post on an island in the Philippines for 29 years, refusing to believe that World War II was over, and returned to a hero’s welcome in the all but unrecognizable Japan of 1974, died on Thursday in Tokyo. He was 91."

I will stick with my previous - without a national goal the Japanese strike out towards anything that looks like a goal. Ambition needs a target, and if the target is not set by the society, then the Japanese wander into these places.

If the Chinese provide enough threat that the goal is set to the military - then look out - the 'fembot' will be turned into a 'battlebot' before you realize things have changed.

You know if they marketed those giant electric drivable fembots correctly men would give up their F150s and their SUVs and drive around in those things. Seriously, if that was your electric car you would drive it to work everyday.

Potsie - GM might be interested in your idea when they restyle the Volt.
