Today, in the news, a life size robotic girlfriend has been created by a company named TrueCompanion. From the snippet of news, it is known that the robotic girlfriend has different personalities, and their personalities are customizable (woww!!)

Customise your ‘girlfriend’
ROXXXY comes with five personalities. Wild Wendy is outgoing and adventurous, while Frigid Farrah is reserved and shy.
There is a young naive personality along with a Mature Martha that Hines described as having a ‘matriarchal kind of caring’. S & M Susan is geared for more adventurous types.
Aspiring partners can customize Roxxxy features, including race, hair colour and breast size. A male sex robot named ‘Rocky’ is in development.
People ordering the robots online at truecompanion.com detail their tastes and interests much like online dating sites but here, the information is used to get the mechanical girlfriend in synch with her mate.
‘She knows exactly what you like,’ Hines said of Roxxxy, noting that Rocky will also come with personalities.
‘If you like Porsches, she likes Porsches. If you like soccer, she likes soccer.’ — AFP

Other than the fact that the robotic girlfriend can’t do housework and can’t cook (which many of us can’t anyway :p) , the robotic girlfriend, Roxxxy stands five feet, seven inches tall, weighs 120 pounds, has a full C cup and is ready for action.  (0.O)

The amazing part is that this invention of robotic girlfriend actually trying to replicate the personalities of real human, real woman. On the bright side, less people will go for prostitutes and for some men, who want to experiment without risk. However, this does give me a shock, on what human can invent (other than cloning, now a robotic girlfriend with personality!)

Wonder what will happen in the next 10 years. Will the sexy robotic girlfriend be a replacement as man’s companion in time to come, or the world will be a healthier world with less diseases associated with sex. Do share your thoughts.

I have always been reading his comic, and it shocked me that he is dead now.. He died at the age of 51, and may he rest in peace. Condolences to his family, I believe all his fan will always remember his work.

Thanks for entertaining us with your comic. I enjoy reading your comic a lot, and it always make me feel happier. I have always waited for your comic to be out in my country and will buy it immediately each time I saw a new episode is out. May you rest in peace.
