South Korea to Build All-Robot Theme Park?

What could possibly go wrong?

According to the Robot Land Web site, the theme park will feature all manner of robot entertainment, including exhibitions of robot characters from films and cartoons; reconstructions of robot-oriented movie sets like "Minority Report," "I,Robot," and "Matrix"; a robotic-arm ride; an aquarium where visitors can watch and manipulate robotic fish; and even droid cashiers and performers.

TequilaBot Has No Sense of Loyalty

(YouTube Link)

TequilaBot was designed to take shots of tequila, and presumably get into gunfights. Or something. This bizarre video is a commercial for Cantina, a bar in Birmingham, Alabama. I'm definitely going the next time that I'm in town. But I'll leave my treacherous robot companion at home.

Man Brings Fembot Home at Christmas to Meet His Parents

Christmas is all about awkward moments at family gatherings. Le Trung, inventor of the robotic woman substitute Aiko, took that principle to a whole new level when he decided that he should celebrate Christmas with both his parents and his fembot:

The science genius enjoyed a festive dinner with his mum, dad and his £30,000 fembot which he designed and built by hand.

Le, 34, from Brampton, Ontario, Canada, even bought gifts for his dream girl, who is so lifelike she speaks fluent English and Japanese, helped cook the turkey and hang up decorations.

'Aiko is like any woman, she enjoys getting new clothes,' he said.

'I loved buying them for her too.'

This scenario has got to be harder than the proverbial "Mom, I'm gay, and this is my boyfriend."
