Ah great, I'm really going to have to keep on top of my "routing customers through phone hell" or "phone hold limbo if you're not such an ass" if I don't want to be outsourced.

Really, though, this was created by a bunch of male engineer nerds at the Univeristy of Tokyo. They probably have never seen a woman make an expression other than this one.

Couldn't they have picked a photo where she was smiling? Or were those photos even creepier?

The receptionist where I used to work looks like her, but a bit older and with glasses.

Truly scary.

Since it seems that sexbots are a forgone conclusion, what about rape and pedodroids will they seve as a safe outlet or inspiration for the illegally devient. Waiting to see if apple comes out with the iRape pleasure model, and will it be more stable than Microsofts Pedows2012.

there is nothing more sensible than saving money
by asking a machine to do the job
a human being once might have done


who needs people anyway?

god forbid a company eliminate infuriating voice answering machines
that take you from nowhere to nowhere
and hire a human being who needs to eat
to do ten times the job a machine ever could.

let's eliminate humans altogether!
except for the ones you hope will buy whatever shiat you're selling
through machines
of course.

you know that people have to somehow subsist
in order to enjoy your product, right?
