Aiko: The "perfect woman"
When you can't find someone to love, you love the one you're with. Or, in inventor Le Trung's case, you create a robot to serve your every need.
Well, not quite every need. Trung, 33, says in a story published in The Sun newspaper out of London that his robot, Aiko, is not a sexual partner but could be tweaked to become one.
In other words, he's spent about $28,000, so far, for a multi-tasking blow-up doll.
You see, Aiko's skills include calculating math, remembering his favorite drinks and doing simple cleaning. You can read more about the couple in The Sun story.
As ghastly and disturbing as this article is, my first reaction was to that awful headgear that Trung put on Aiko's head. It looks like something that spoiled Nellie might wear on "Little House on the Prairie." Dude, that is no way to treat your "perfect woman." Get her some hipper threads.

Calculating math.
Yep, that's what I look for in a perfect woman.

Isn't there a movie about a guy who purchases a doll and then falls in love with her... his whole town fell in love with her I think!
What is the name of the MOVIE... DANG IT!!!!

I'm thinking if he'd used all the time he spent working on the robot searching for a human companion he might have found one . . . of course it would have been more expensive.

Mr. I, it's called Lars and the Real Girl.
Freaky movie.

'...Aiko, is not a sexual partner but could be tweaked to become one...'

From the article:
He said: “Aiko doesn’t need holidays, food or rest, and will work almost 24 hours a day. She is the perfect woman.”
And we need wonder why he needed to create a robo-wife?

He obviously has no friends, because they would have all told him, "Dude, that's so whack! What are you thinking?"
And just because she lacks the proper orifice doesn't mean she hasn't been used as a sexual object. Yet.
