Okay, so maybe this jacket isn’t exactly high fashion. However, if you routinely dream of hugging fashion models, and you have absolutely no chance of that ever happening, this may be the fashion statement you’ve been waiting for.
When most guys think of a girlfriend coat, visions of grabbing their girlfriend’s jacket, so they can run outside and nab the weekend paper may seem appropriate. However, who would have thought that in some rural area of Japan, there were a couple lonely guys trying to build a robot girlfriend, but had to settle for a stupid coat that hugs you.
Don’t let the above image fool you, as I just put that there to make the idea appear much cooler than it is.
This is the actual product (the Riajuu Coat “Good Life with a Partner), which may not look like much, and I can’t imagine would feel like much, either. The way it works, is you strap yourself in, put on a pair of headphones, and wait for the big moment. A moment which goes something like this:
You’re standing there for awhile with your eyes closed. You better have them closed, otherwise you’ll see the three other dorks standing in the room waiting for their turn. Then, footsteps are heard behind you, followed by a shrieking Hentai voice. “I’m sorry, were you waiting?” and then a couple of robotic pincers squeeze your intestine, and the experience is over.
You give these blokes a fiver for their brilliance, and go home.
It seems like we’ve ran into these lonely souls before. However, at least some guys are getting a happy ending out of their dolls. All these designers will get is the stark reality of what $500 bucks, and six months out of their life has amounted to.
