So my housemate was sitting here reading WIRED because even though he's no longer technically a software geek he still likes to keep abreast of the latest developments in technology marketed towards people with too damn much money. I think he enjoys torturing himself. No different than me lustfully browsing the "Exceptional Properties" catalog I guess. (Hey, some of those houses are nice!)
As an indicator of how twisted the readers of WIRED are, there's a feature called "Japanese Schoolgirl Watch." But wait, it's not what you think. You see, Japanese schoolgirls are notoriously hip early adopters of technology, so the feature is just a regular report on what new gadgets the rich kogals are into this month. That's right, it's not the schoolgirl being fetishized, it's her portable LCD Display DVD player backpack. And that, my friends, is WEIRD.

Posted by: KING COMTE I at January 5, 2005 09:33 PMI dunno... it's a bit humbling that a 15 yr old japanese schoolgirl is a bigger geek than me.
C'mon, banjo. You know you want one.

Posted by: raej at January 9, 2005 10:41 AMNo, that would be closer to normal, oddly enough.
Also, thanks for making this site show up on Google searches on the phrase "japanese schoolgirl robot." Hello, web traffic!
