The Creepy Talking Robot Is People! It’s People!!

By Adam B. on February 11, 2009

yikesThe world of Creepy Talking Robots just got whole lot creepier thanks to Japan’s Little Island.

The company—which recently released this Creepy Talking Wedding Robot—took a giant step forward in bringing about The Rise of the Machines: The availability of the Look Alike Doll.

What is the Look Alike Doll?  Well, Speech-Heads, the Look Alike Doll is a miniature, talking, robotic YOU.

Just send Little Island a photo of yourself, and they will—for a couple thousand dollars—make you a robot counterpart, complete with VoIP calling capability and the ability to read RSS feeds.

A few months ago, I called the company and asked them to build me a Creepy Talking Robot version of my Speech Brother Eric B. Since its arrival, Mini Eric B. has started doing my laundry, gone out for coffee, and brutally assaulted Normal Size Eric B. with a stapler and ballpoint pen.

To make matters worse, the Customized Creepy Talking Wedding Doll that Normal Size Eric B. ordered has since left him for Mini Eric B.

I’m sure I speak for Eric B., when I say: These are Sad Times at Speech HQ.

[editor's note: the look alike doll may be  more of a creepy talking doll than a creepy talking robot.  nevertheless, it is creepy and it talks.]
