WowWee's Mr. Personality reviewed, found to like long walks on the beach

It's beginning to sound like a broken record, but WowWee has hit yet another homer with Mr. Personality. The latest from the firm to jockey for your hard earned dollars includes an LCD face and enough jokes / stories to keep you engrossed for hours. Max and Simon -- this creature's very own Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde -- kept critics guessing, and each character was said to be "well developed and play off each other perfectly." Continuing on, reviewers noted that the omnidirectional wheels were "incredible," the remote was "simple and intuitive" and the sensor array was equally impressive. 'Tis a shame -- we bet you were really looking forward to holding onto that $300 of yours...

Hey, there's something just like this down the road from me for free at the bar. It's called HUMAN BEINGS.

Jeeeeesus.

Humans are irrational, drunks, are diseased pathogens, I'll take my chances with the serilized murderous robot...

And this custom of shaking hands needs to go... thank goodness for the internets!

If I want to say something to someone I'll send an instant message or a text on my iPhone-thank-you-very-much...

Looks like the robot from the beginning of Rocky 4 . . . or was it Rocky 5?

In any case this seems like 2 steps back in developing a life-like sex-bot...I want my Marylyn Monroe-bot damn it!
