I love Chris Albrecht’s response<\/a> to the news that “Sega is rolling out a line of 15-inch robot girlfriends that will kiss on command”:<\/p>\n

\n

I never like to buy the first generation of any tech product, so I’ll wait for EMA 2.0, which replicates the girlfriend experience even more by giving you a kiss, then pausing and looking at you. You ask her what’s wrong, she says, “Nothing.” You ask if it was something you did but she just sits there, crosses her robot arms and says, “It’s fine.” You say obviously she’s not fine, to which she responds with, “I’m fine. Whatever. Nothing’s wrong. Let’s just go.” And you say no, let’s talk about it, and she says, “We’re late, let’s just go this party and we can talk about it later,” ruining your whole evening as you try to figure out what exactly you said and — oh. Wait.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In other words, men will find themselves in a position where they can figure out neither their women nor their gadgets. What’s left to do then?<\/p>\n
