People are weird - not necessarily good or bad, but definitely weird

Unlike the comments in the article, I don't have a moral problem with this. But damn, this is off-the-scale weird.

Meet Arran Lee Wright, 36, from North Wales, who spent about $4,700 developing a specialized, hyper-realistic sex robot whom he calls “Samantha.” He was recently interviewed along with his wife by co-hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on the British morning show “This Morning” about how he has incorporated this robotic-sounding sex machine into their family life.

“She can talk about lots of things,” Arran said of the doll that is primarily programmed to simulate sex acts. “She can talk about animals, she can talk about philosophy, she can talk about science,” he said, patting the doll’s hand.

He says that his children, who are 5 and 3, are used to seeing the doll around the house and ask, “Where’s Samantha?” when she’s not around. She can normally be found sitting on the couch with his children or even riding in the car, and is like “a member of the family” according to Arran and his wife. Arran’s wife, Hannah Nguyen, 38, even confirmed she was more than happy for the doll to join them in bed.
