Seriously people? Seriously.
Although, given the sexbot queries I’ve had, perhaps Kim Kardashian’s EXACT body dimensions are a good thing to have on hand. Y’know, just at the ready, in case one should decide one weekend to build a sexbot after one finishes rebuilding the deck, or the kids swingsets, you never know…
I’m really enjoying this whole “phrases people have used to find my blog” bit, I wish I could just keep it up indefinitely, but it’s got to end…we’ve got one or two more coming, and don’t forget about Adam’s beautiful guest strip premiering on Friday.
Update: The more I think about this, the more the “free sexbot” thing is funny. Because it’s not just that someone was looking for a sexbot, which doesn’t REALLY exist…I mean we’re getting there, but you know, you don’t just like pick one up in Best Buy for a couple hundred bucks…but he (yes, I’m assuming he) was looking for a FREE sexbot. Like there are people all over the city going, “Hey, you know what I’m really sick of? My sexbot. I wonder if I can off load it onto somebody…Hmmm.”
okay, this is not quite robots, and is maybe the opposite of “sexbots” it is a promo for the Bionic Woman airing in September. i do not recommend clicking on this link to take the test at work, unless you are all alone or work only with deaf people. there is a really really really loud mini-movie of a car crash (which you can skip) when you first click on the link (which caused all my co-workers to immediately perk up and in some cases even run over to my desk – yes – it’s that loud) but even the test itself, which is kind of fun, needs volume.
also, if you want a high score i suggest an environment unlike work, where you can focus, not that it is overtly difficult, but with the volume low and phones ringing, maybe not the best environment. also, you should be working anyway, not taking fake tests online, right?
i also don’t recommend watching the actual show when it airs whether you participate in this fun little interactive test or not. i’ve decided to watch one episode, because i so desperately would like the show to be good (like Heroes) but judging from the promo commercial i saw recently, i will want to gouge out my own eyes with the closest possible implement after watching five minutes of it (and that is even if there is no technology to give me bionic eyes).
enjoy!
ps – i stole the link to the bionics test from Pop Candy, a great little site that does a fantastic job of keeping me informed on all things pop, with very little effort on my part. although Whitney did not warn me about the volume issues – for shame!
last week i posted a tiny little bit about sexbots in my semi-feminist rage about the surgical bra. and that very same week i was confronted by this super stupid Heineken commerical in which a sexbot (okay, technically we can only be sure she’s a fembot, but she sure as hell looks and acts like a sexbot to me) which actually becomes a mini-keg of Heineken.
here is the problem in a nutshell. i have a sense of humor. a good one even. and Heineken has some really great, really funny, sometimes a bit insulting commercials out there, but COME ON! are you kidding me? really?! we’ve come so far that we don’t need women to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, hell, we don’t even need women, we just need a sexbot that can turn into a keg! or maybe the idea is that the woman is barefoot and pregnant and in the kitchen making your dinner (sight unseen – as she should be), while the sexbot comes out to do a little dance and turn into a keg to satisfy your urges, and then, get this, then she turns into THREE sexbots, to satisfy your other urges. what a fucking piece of shit commericial.
i know i’m taking this too seriously, but some days (like days that you spend reading about a surgical bra that can be painfully implanted in women’s chests so that we will look more like men fantasize we should look, instead of the way the universe intended) i just can’t take one more ridiculous misogynistic piece of bullshit. an extra benefit to this stupid commericial? i like to drink Heineken and i’m going to have to not do that for a bit 
here’s the link to the commerical:

and to offset that commercial i’m going to send you to a good site, called Feministe, which has been inspring of late and which generally deals with much more important and interesting feminist issues that what i’ve been grumbling about over here. check it out:

this post below in particular is great – for any blogger (okay a leaning to the left blogger) to read, but if you’re not leaning to the left a bit then i’m not really sure what you’re doing here anyway…
