Tech / SEX / TV Why Does Sweden Get All the Good Sex Robot Shows?!?
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 3:29 PM
Guys! If forced to choose, would you rather watch a new episode of Parks and Recreation, or an untested sex robot drama from Sweden? I THOUGHT SO. And actually? This Swedish sex robot show looks pretty good, and verrrrrry creepy. It's called Real Humans, it's debuting in Sweden in a little under two weeks, and it's all about an alternate world where extremely realistic robots are bought and sold and, apparently, kidnapped. It's also about how they steal our jobs, insinuate themselves into our families and bust them apart. You know... THE YOOSH. (A quick bit of sex robot nudity = NSFWish.)
Intrigued? Much more info here.
