Robot Body Pillow Is a Freak in the Bed

In some parts of the world, it is basically acceptable to silkscreen the naked cartoon body of a prepubescent girl onto your pillowcase and love it up like you’ll never love again (a likelihood not even that hard to imagine, when your Saturday night gal is a pillow).  However, it looks like pillow buddies are about to move from the dank and blacklit closets of Japan right into your own home!  With designer Stefan Ulrich’s Funktionide,

An “emotional robot” that changes form depending on how you hold it. Combined with advanced robotics, this could yield something that is soft, cuddly, humanoid, and capable of intelligent conversation. Yes, and it breathes.

Like I don’t have intelligent enough conversations with my household objects.  Video of a man demonstrating positions you can use on the vibrating bang-pillow, after the jump.  Pretty weird!  

I can’t believe they actually show the guy guiding the pillow into his lap.  He’s like, “I’m turning the self-esteem setting to ‘low’ tonight!”  That’s just what the world needs, Stefan Ulrich – a pillow you can emotionally manipulate.

I’m gonna buy two and hope they don’t short-circuit when the champagne gets all over them.
