Actroid DER-2, Kokoro's uncannily lifelike fembot, has made her acting debut in a TV commercial for Kincho's Preshower UV insect repellent/sunscreen spray.
The last frame of that video scares the ever-livin' @!$%# out of me.
Creepy doesn't cover half of it.
Very weird. Did anyone else notice that this Japanese Actroid doesn't look even slightly Japanese? A little insight into the creators' personal fantasies maybe?
It's kind of a strange angle at marketing to use a "woman" who can't sunburn or get bug bites to advertise a UV bug repellant. She/it would be a better spokesdroid for something like WD40. That would be a whole new angle on the 'personal lubricant' market.
