But then again, I always laughed hysterically on most razor ads, especially Gillette's.

They're trying to sell me razors shaped like sports car. With a fembot.

I'd rather just buy something to shave with, thanks.

Check a snap here:

Just saying as as a side fact (we all get inspired by this or that).

But this, guys, this is an ad that tries to convince you that Phillips shaving system is like being with an alien robot chick under the shower. Overstatement anyone?

The actual shaving system looks more like a dildo gone wrong. All the wrong impressions.

I'd rather be told "check it out: it's convenient, easy to handle, it's affordable, shaves good. The Phillips shaving system"

Alas, we gotta shout and make up bullshit so people pay attention what's on the screen nowadays.

Of course they will -- at first. Then they'll change their minds, miss the attention, destroy the fembots, and bring everything back to the way it was.

Then a thousand years later they'll begin wining about it all over again.

Funny how the most common sex gadget that requires batteries is primarily for women, and might be said to tap into stock female fantasies of men being unnecessary.

But whatever. Even ads aimed at *women* are catering to their desire to be more attractive to men, so it's not like men are the only ones with anti-feminist attitudes.]]>Oct 1st 2007 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/adgadget-fantasy-fembots-market-male-products/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/adgadget-fantasy-fembots-market-male-products/
"Even ads aimed at *women* are catering to their desire to be more attractive to men, so it's not like men are the only ones with anti-feminist attitudes."

can be disputed. Those ads to cater to desires so much as try to inflict the pressing need to be attractive to men. Believe it or not, it isn't really what is on most women's minds all the time, but after watching an hour of tv ad all those commericals, it does make one aware of all the stubbly, flabby, wrinkley, stink-ness that one might possess, plus the subconcious absorbing of how "bad" it is to be those things, and how we must go out and consume the antidotes right away.

& I really don't think vibrators are there to tap into unessesary men fantasies, at least usually. Toys are there for when organic alternatives are not.. or are too lazy to do their job. Happens a lot.

Randy...I agree...to a point. The movies 'Cherry 2000 (1987)' and 'A.I. (Artificial Intelligence)2001)' covered these issues.

In A.I., Reproduction has become illegal. Rouge City is the future sexual satisfaction...'Las Vegas', and Robots provide any and all sexual services.

I think most would welcome a Rouge City. All your fantasy's without the bullshit?! The ultimate adult with robot playground. What this will bring to us all, is another choice or option to get your freak on.

But.... Women will NEVER EVER become "obsolete". They are people. Human beings, and the only way (as of now) to reproduce more.

And, When they too Bitchy, just hop on down to 'RC' for a spell!

W/ respect to man and woman, I agree, that we will still need each other for reproduction, however, I suspect that "most" guys will want the sex fantasies w/o the BS. Which will drive demand for better, more life-like, ever-subservient fembots. I can also imagine a subset of guys that might want something not so realistic such as an Alien (Species comes to mind) or Hentai type fembots.

I'm thinking wayyyy too much into this, I need to stop....

About the 'fembots'... there's no doubt in my mind that in the future most of us will have robots in their household, and that some of those robots will end up replacing human companions/partners.
These days, it becomes increasingly difficult to find a suitable partner. People want too much, and aren't willing to give enough themselves. Programmable companions are the perfect solution. Either those, or a dog!]]>Oct 1st 2007 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/adgadget-fantasy-fembots-market-male-products/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/adgadget-fantasy-fembots-market-male-products/-----------

A 5-inch robot costs hundreds; and a life-size rubber girl costs thousands.
The term "affordable" is rarely for the common people.

I think when things like "persocoms" do make it to market, whether or not they include the ability to copulate, they'll be extremely sophisticated, and thus extremely expensive — tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars — and won't become ubiquitous for many years afterwards. But on the other hand, an interactive, humanoid computer would be kind of a special thing, like a companion of sorts, and most purchasers would likely only get one, perhaps in addition to their other, more conventional computers. It'd be regarded as a significant purchase, both financially and personally. (Then there'd be your multibillionaires with a house full of 'em, of course.) As for sexuality, you can debate the morality of replacing human companionship with that of a machine until the cows come home, but the fact remains that some people won't be able to resist the temptation, for any of a million personal reasons.

Oh, also: what do you wanna bet no humanoid computers sold in North America will come with sexual functionality because of all the outraged Bible-thumpers?]]>Oct 1st 2007 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/adgadget-fantasy-fembots-market-male-products/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/adgadget-fantasy-fembots-market-male-products/Oct 1st 2007 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/adgadget-fantasy-fembots-market-male-products/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/01/adgadget-fantasy-fembots-market-male-products/
