From the Feministe:
Never ever nags, can read a map, has a 32-23-33 figure, is in her 20s, will work 24 hours a day and doesn’t eat or sleep (kind of sounds like my life these days, minus the measurements and the nagging). And she’s a robot.
Computer ace Le, 33, from Ontario, Canada, has spent two years and £14,000 building his dream girl.
He had planned to make an android to care for the elderly.
But his project — inspired by sci-fi robots like Star Wars’s C3PO — strayed off-course.
Le said: “Aiko is what happens when science meets beauty.”
Actually, Aiko is what happens when science meets pathetic.
Once Aiko has been perfected, Le hopes to sell clones for use as home-helps.
He said: “Aiko doesn’t need holidays, food or rest, and will work almost 24 hours a day. She is the perfect woman.”
I wonder why this guy is still single.
Although I'm as equally creeped/freaked out by this guy as the Feministe is, it is for different reasons. My question is: if you're going to build your own robo-servent-created to respond to your every whim and desire, and design it to closely resemble a woman...
...why the hell would you make it look like a 10 year old?!

I think it's downright creepy, but it should be allowed; nobody is getting harmed. Some people who have poor emotional skills might need a robot...though it'll probably entrench their problem even further.
