And with all of the unemployed dancers out there . . .
Hmm. Where do they put their tips? And would anyone actually pay for a lap dance from one of these?

What do you think about the robotic pole dancers? . . . Is this how your mom taught you to swim?
All the best to all of you for avoiding cheap (or expensive) imitations.
Piper Bayard–The Pale Writer of the Apocalypse
LOL….yes indeed, where do they put there tips?
This was great…thanks Piper!

Glad you enjoyed it, Celeste.
There are so many sexual fetishes these days I can barely keep up with them! I’m sure psychologists are busy trying to come up with names for all the. Is this roboticism? LoL.
Thanks so much for the shout out!
I can see it now. Robotics addicts. Then we’ll need Roboticists Anonymous. There will be special rehab centers, and Dr. Phil will be interviewing the addicts and pole dancing robots on his show. Yep. A whole new industry is born.
Frederick’s of Hollywood is apparently busy at work on a new line of scintillating Robot undies.
Of course, I suppose lawmakers are now going to have to address the issue of just how much Robot nudity is allowed in an establishment which serves alcohol… *sigh* …
Thanks for the laugh and the mention, Piper!
LOL. You have an excellent grasp of the issues and the dangers. I can see that, when I am president, I will need a special task force to prevent the mafia from getting into the robot “flesh” trade. Perhaps I can persuade you to lead that effort? Your country needs you.
Loved Ellie Ann’s post. She was spot-on. And the robo-strippers? I… I… there just aren’t words.
Good to see you, Tori.
OMG I LOVE the otter video and had no idea that Moms taught their pups to swim. Adorable.
Those robots were just…creepy…and so very wrong!! LOL!!!
Thank you soooo much for including me in the mash-up!! Squeeee!!
I had no idea, either. I just never thought about how otters teach their pups. My favorite part is where she’s pulling the pup back into the water by its foot. Reminded me of how I taught my own kids to swim. *sigh* Sweet memories. . . . Just kidding. I never pulled them by their feet.
Wow, Piper! Not only a big thank-you for the shout-out, but to put me in with so many of my faves: otters (my FAVORITE animal), Natalie, Ellie Ann, Laird, Melinda, Paige, Vicki, and – gasp – James Rollins?! Holy crap on a cracker! I’m not worthy!! THANKS a million!
You notice I didn’t list the “pole-dancing robot” in the list. That was deliberate, LOL. Don’t want to be “creepy.”
Have a great weekend,
Kathy
Good thing one of us has standards.
*squeee*! I saw my name! Thanks for the shout-out Piper. And pole dancing robots? um….yeah. Although it DOES spark a story idea…
You know, now that I think about it, that could be a wealth of great stories. Or sordid ones, at least.
Lap dance from a robot? Can you say… “industrial accident”? If I was a guy, I’d be less concerned about where to put the tip, and more concerned that the robot might keep the tip. (Sorry, couldn’t resist. Feel free to censor as needed.)
LOL. Seriously. And I think that model in the demo is nicknamed Loraina.
At least with a robot pole dancer you don’t get the story about working their way through college or law school. My dad taught me to swim. Rowed out a few yards from shore and tossed me in. Don’t know why he kept poking at me with the oar.
LOL. I actually never knew any of my classmates to be strippers during law school. Funny how that is.
Apparently, your father learned from the otters. Good to see you, Tom.
Stripper robots?
If Skynet was alive, it would die of shame…..
An excellent observation!
Robot pole dancing? ***shudders*** Thank you for the otter palate cleanser, too cute! Loved watching mom shove baby under water. Was it just me, or did baby have not just terror but confusion in his eyes the first few times? “What the bleep, mom?” Terrific links too, thank you! Hope you have a great weekend!
Wasn’t just you. I distinctly caught that, too.
Robotic pole dancers might make great pets… Do they house-clean? What an entertaining and efficient way to make everything shine. You always find the zaniest news, Piper! Love it.
What a great idea. How about a useful robot that will clean my house? That would certainly be a better application of resources and time.
Can you imagine the look on the guys face you ended up there instead of a traditional pole dance review for his bachelor party? LOL. That would suck for him. Where do you find these things?
You know, that would almost be worth the cost of making one of these.
Fab mash-up, Piper! The robots…not so much. And those otters … wonderful! Thanks!
