Androids are here. Really?

A company in Japan has put on sale its android, nicknamed Lisa, from June 11.
Lisa is capable of doing all your domestic chores -- from cleaning the house to going shopping, from cooking to giving you a massage. She can even give you a fuck if you so desire.

The two men said to be behind the project, Etienne Fresse and Yoichi Yamato, claimed to have developed a technology called Recognition Krax System (RKS) which gives Lisa "vocal, tactile and visual recognition".

But sceptics are not buying the theory. Some say it could be a promotional gimmick. Others say it could be a critique of women's role in relationships.

The company owners have even put up a website which not just looks rudimentary but also seems to suggest that they are not confident of the product. Moreover, the website was registered onyl in March or April which leads one to believe that the promoters are not really serious about Lisa.

And to place your order for Lisa, you just have select whether you want her to be blonde or brunette, with long or short hair and in regular or revealing clothing. And give your email address. That's it. Then you don't hear from the company.

But if Lisa is for real, we are one step closer to the scene from Demolition Man in which Sandra Bullock asks Sly Stallone of he wants to have sex and quickly gets two helmets out when he replies in the affirmative.
