in year 2500 it will likely be political correct to claim they evolved from apes...and the previous model (homo sapiens) could be their slaves by then...the scary is some would probably not mind.

Some feel-good news for a change. Their web site could use a spell checker, though.

Their pricing scheme is oddly linear. And I seriously struggle with the 2 doll concept.

The dolls have faces of young girls. Don't men "entertained" by them feel like paedophiles?

that's an excellent (and very valid) observation, and may shed some light on the clientele of these establishments

this sexbot brothel is in Canada
In the US, Congress moves to ban child sexbots favored by pedophiles

a web search turned up competing claims that kiddie sexbots either (a) normalize child molestation or (b) provide an outlet for pedophiles without molesting actual children. I'm not sufficiently au courant with the issue to know if either (or both) is true

It is interesting, although utterly predictable, how you really, really hate the idea of anybody, anywhere in the world enjoying any form of sexual pleasure that does not arise from an attempt to procreate. Because your bible told you so...
