How Much Is That Fembot In The Window?
Old and busted: Mannequins. The new hotness: Androids!
Cue the inevitable weeping over the jobs lost to technology, something our President brought back into fashion last year. Oh no! Who is going to look out for the poor mannequins? How are they going to put bread on their tables? How will they feed their poor plastic children?
Yes, obviously no one is losing their job if mannequins are replaced by androids. The question is simply if displaying clothes on a moving model is more effective than a stationary model for selling those clothes. In any case, it's an interesting application of the technology to create a more lifelike model without the usual need of a Nestene Consciousness. Or at least it will be interesting up until they transform their hands into guns and start shooting people.
