Aug 31 2007Robotic Cats Don't Pee On Electronics

Sega Toys has released a line of robotic cats in Japan, because, um, people can't care for real cats. The cats interact with you and when you pull their tails they hiss (just like mine!) Unlike mine though, they don't tear up furniture or pee on your electronics. Another thing they don't do is drink liquids, because I fed one a dish of milk and the damn thing's head shot off and caught fire. Despite the drawbacks, I'll just stick to analog cats.
Video advertisement after the jump.
I'm not totally sure, because Japanese is one of the few languages I'm not fluent in, but I think the guy says "All Americans are stupid and will totally buy this" at the beginning of the clip.

well, at least parents are beginning to teach kids what's really involved in owning a pet: http://www.amazon.com/Barbie-Forever-Theresa-Doll-Mika/dp/B000ELIXAO

If there“s a God up there, and I know there is, he will totally smite the people who buy this crap.
Not for adoring idols, but for being impecable morons, and a total disgrace for the human race.
A loving god would not allow the seed of such imbeciles to spread among His prey.
LIGHTNING BOLT, FIRE AND HAIL!!!

So basically, all the damn thing does is meow and hiss? Wow, THAT is entertainment right there! I am buying 10 of them so I can be the crazy old cat lady some day, just sitting in the corner, eating cat food and pulling all the cats' tails, making them hiss! Woo~

That's not pulling a tail.. that's ball cupage. I think he stuck his finger in its ass near the end there.

Why on earth should a normal person loose time petting something so horrible and... mmhh.. yes, did I mention it's a damn THING and not an animal??
So sad... I think I'll use the same amount of time having *my* tail pulled by my girlfriend. Sounds more entertaining.

I actually have one of those, except I'm not in Japan. Bandai released them in America about 5 years ago :). The only difference is that mine is laying down. I also think that mine is broken because even when I pet it it still hisses at me...

Hi, I am Teddy. Once you read this you
cannot get out. Finish reading this
until it is done! As I said, I am
Teddy. I am 7 years old. I have no eyes
and blood all over my face. I am dead.
If you don't send this to at least 12
people I will come to your house at
midnight and I'll hide under your bed.
When you're asleep, I'll kill you.
Don't believe me?
Case 1:
Patty Buckles
Got this e-mail. She doesn't believe
in chain letters. Well, Foolish Patty.
She was sleeping when her TV started
flickering on and off. Now she's not
with us anymore. Ha ha patty, Ha ha!
You don't want to be like Patty, do
you?
Case 2:
George M. Simon
Hates chain mail, but he didn't want
to die that night. He sent it to 4
people. Not good enough George. Now,
George is in a coma, we don't know if
he'll ever wake up. Ha ha George, Ha
ha! Now, do you want to be like George?
Case 3:
Valarie Tyler
She got this letter. Another chain
letter she thought. Only had 7 people
to
send to. Well, That night when she was
having a shower she saw bloody Mary
in the mirror. It was the BIGGEST
fright of her life. Valarie is scarred
for
life.
Case 4:
Derek Minse
This is the final case I'll tell you
about. Well, Derek was a smart person.
He sent it to 12 people. Later that
day, he found a $100.00 bill on the
ground. He was premoted to head
officer at his job and his girlfriend
said
yes to his purposal. Now, Katie and
him are living happily ever after.The
have 2 beautiful children.
Send this to at least 12 people or
you'll face the consequences.
0 people- You will die tonight
1-6 people- you will be injured
7-11 people- you will get the biggest
fright of your life
12 and over- you are safe and will
have good fortune!
