Okay, so I’m in a committed relationship, I love my girlfriend, I would never dream of straying from her, blah blah blah…but, I have to admit, this new trend of girls stripping to their underwear to play Nintendo Wii, then videotaping it and uploading it to YouTube…it might just be the single greatest trend ever in the history of mankind. It started, so I gather, with this video of a girl in her underwear playing Wii hula hoop. Almost every girlfriend (and boyfriend) in the country has since seen that video (or, at least, four million of us), and some have tried to replicate — or top — the YouTube clip with a sensational display of their own. There’s this girl (also doing the hula hoop), this girl (hula hoop), and…yeah, a mom and her two children doing the hula hoop. Gross. Then, last week, Playboy Playmate of the Year Jo Garcia stripped down to her underwear and videotaped herself boxing, and then snowboarded on Wii Fit. I like where this trend is going. If you’re lucky, maybe I can convince Nicci to upload that super-sexy video of me playing Dance Dance Revolution for the first time ever — on the difficult level — later today. Talk about sexxxy with three x’s! Also, I think Tom finally got that Rock Band game. Good times are ahead, it would appear.
And, in a second video-related news item, CNN is running a “breaking” story about a new “lovable” female robot created in Japan that is capable of holding your hand, dancing to music, and oh yeah, she can kiss. There is an interview with the femme robot’s creator (look at that guy — child rapist alert!), who talks all about his wonderful new invention. Unfortunately for him, he missed the boat by about ten years. Futurama already explored the potential for human/robot relationships in the episode where Fry downloads Lucy Liu’s likeness into a robot and falls in love with his own Lucy Liu bot. More importantly, that episode featured a “Don’t Date Robots” instructional video, which detailed the horrible consequences facing a society in which robot dating is permissible.
When asked whether he preferred Futurama to half-naked girls hula hooping, the author of this blog post was heard to comment, “Uh…”
