Review : Kissenger - The Death of the Blow Up Doll
As the evolution of technology marches on towards our inevitable doom at the hands of super-intelligent robot overlords, our dependency on them increases with each passing season. So it was only a matter of time until someone came up with an excuse to make love to a robot. The Kissenger (video above) is a baby Mr. Potato Head (also comes in Pig and Cow flavors) robot hybrid that you kiss when Skype-ing with your boo (re-read that again, we fact-checked). I think it’s safe to say the design team was going for “function” over form on this one.
Artificial intelligence researcher and creator of the Kissenger (he’s not only the president but an avid user), Hooman Samani, breaks down what he refers to as “Lovotics,” the research of human-to-robot romantic relationships. Samani is one slick motherfucker, coming within spitting distance of a decent argument defending the study of such things. So much so that you very well may not question the fact that you’re about to make out and possibly go to pound town with the long lost cousin of the Suck Cut.
Call me old fashioned, but if you need a USB cord to get your swerve on, something has gone terribly wrong. So BE RETRO, stop looking at robot porn, take a deep breath, and start blowing up that blonde beauty who’s been collecting dust under your SEGA Dreamcast.
If this is where our relationship with technology is going, then let us sit and pray that the Mayans get to us first.
