She's Fantastic. Made of Plastic. A child unlike other girls.

Really creepy.

When in college, a friend got married, and of course there was an “adult film” at his bachelor party. The, um, star wore a choker just like that (and not much else, at least not for long).

So: Ew. Perhaps it’s just that unfortunate conditioning, but I don’t doubt for a moment that there are sexual intentions for this robot. A “five-year old” doesn’t have any business wearing something like that.

I bet she’d be a hit with the Our Little Miss pageant crowd. You know what I mean.

EEeeeewww!

I didn't even read the part about her being a five year old girl, but still... a robotic service dog would be preferable to her... as far as hittin' it goes... obviously, I have notoriously low standards.

“What is a boffin”

Good question, it is English (as in UK) slang for a scientist in a lab coat.

Were okay, as long as they program in Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics:

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Waiting for the "I'd hit it" comments.

Given that it's modeled on a five year old, I'd say that's not the 'droid you're looking for...
