Jul 22 2009Robot Built To Model Wedding Dresses
'Miimu', a HRP-4C robot, is seen here being utilized as a runway model for Japanese fashion designer Yumi Katsura's line of bridal gowns. And, since I know women so well, I'll give you men a little insight into how their minds work.
"I really love this dress -- but how would it look on a robot?"Which brings up another disconcerting thought -- robot marriage. And you know what's sad? They'll probably allow unholy robotic matrimony before gay marriage. And that, my friends, makes me want to blow up the moon. And I don't even care if it's delicious cheese.
It's a nice day for a robot wedding [metro]
Thanks to Doctor Steel and Graf Zeppelin, who together form Doctor Graf Steel Zeppelin, which, you know, is pretty cool.

Yes - come to marry me or die!! Is she hiding some maimed corpse under her dress cause this thing is frightening
8. shut your piehole - July 22, 2009 4:03 PM
ummm....can they shut the mouth or is this the standard crazy japanese O face that is required on everything they do?
I don't care what they say....I am not sticking my ween in that thing.
robots running off human corpses + open mouth = no penis

The robo marriage will probably only be allowed between a man and robot woman. And visa versa.
11. sup - July 22, 2009 4:19 PM
the robot's expression looks retarded.
I see men marrying sex robots but not a robot like this.
12. Jrdn - July 22, 2009 4:30 PM

17. yo - July 22, 2009 5:36 PM
Haha I was just about to say Manhands!! too funny - I think all Japanese women should aspire to this level of elegance - and general non-scariness
18. Pew³ - July 22, 2009 5:52 PM
So....
After you marry the robot does the mouth convert to permanently short?
...or at least after the honeymoon is over?
19. Pew³ - July 22, 2009 5:52 PM
DOH!!!
Short > shut
nevermind.

The mouth makes me picture it going HURRBLRARLBLGLGBLLEL as it models. In fact, most models should do that.
26. Graf Zeppelin - July 23, 2009 6:03 AM
"Does my capacitator look big in this?"
I think the mouth says it all about the fantasies of it's maker.
27. Jaded Icon - July 23, 2009 7:53 AM
I bet GFS is pissed that she is wearing white, LIKE THAT SPECIAL NIGHT IN TOKYO NEVER HAPPENED!! Sorry, GFS it's just that robot women are so coldhearted sometimes.

Yeah , the robot was talking, it got more ovations then the models did.... it was walking very funny like, kinda cool ... but still sucked ass. When the robot had to turn around they turned off the lights because it was to clumsy XDDDDDDD
