Robo goes to a sex expo.



"RoBo," an ordinary nerd dude who likes to tinker with wearable computing in his free time, goes to a sex products expo in Hollywood. Hijinks ensue.

RoBo previously appeared, mit wearable gizmos, in the BBtv episode "Wearable Computing / Sensors and Sensibility."

Many girls will love their ipod even more and techno music will obtain another chance. That was wicked!

Not to sound petulant, but could we see a bit more of the show and a bit less of the correspondent perhaps? He's cute and funny and all, but I'd realy like to hear more about the show, see people talking about their innovations (sex driving technology being something of an old saw) and perhaps a bit less goofiness. The whole naive, "gee whiz golly are you gonna spank me?" thing is kind of dated. Get Dan Savage in there!

The Spendid "Gargoyle." Kinda cute. It would have be fun to see him put on a spanking horse: "SPLENDID! Other please!"

Splendid! I hope RoBo and his helpers will make many more bbtv episodes.

Robo looks quite different from his wearable computing segment. The Gorgon shirt is something I'd wear.

I see where SimpleHuman is coming from, but at the same time, it's exactly because sex tech shows are so assimilated now that if the journalist can inject more personality into the story they deserve to be the focus.

THanks, licensefarm! THat's kind of what we thought. I've covered a bunch of these things as a journalist, and am a lot less interested in the sales pitches and the "woohoo, the intersection of sex and technology and money," than I am in watching the sponteneous, awkward reactions of a real human being who normally does not frequent such environments.

This seemed like a difficult event to shoot/edit... probably because it would be hard to keep the video SFW, if that's even a consideration.

Well, there are certainly awkward reactions galore here... unfortunately, it was often very hard (the odd lighting probably) to tell exactly what was being reacted to. In short, it was kind of like watching the "grandma's reaction to 2-girls-1-cup" without ever having seen the original: kind of funny, but I felt like I was missing a big part of the joke.

...or maybe it was supposed to be more like the scene with the briefcase in Pulp Fiction: "Is that what I think it is?" "Yeah" "It's... beautiful"

Brilliant! Thank you
