It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
Premium grade cringe is simultaneously super available, yet also hard to find. So without further adieu, meet Arran Lee Wright (or Squire, the description differs from the clip).
He spends several minutes on This Morning with Phillip and Holly trying to convince the hosts and the psychologist on the couch with him of the values of Samantha – a smart Sex Doll he had a hand in developing. The interview gets really interesting when the psychologist chimes in, rightfully pointing out how such things are currently screwing Japan over in the population department. His defense plays like a wounded animal trying to get away from a predator.
But, oh, how it kicks into overdrive when he mentions that Samantha has a Family Mode. That sound you’re hearing right now? That’s you, screaming. This guy tries to convince them that this thing is totally safe around kids, and they don’t think it’s weird. The last time I saw anybody trying to sell a sex doll as kid friendly was on Seanbaby’s stupid comic ads page.
And his wife? Totally fine with it. Can’t imagine why. So friendly advice; if you want a cold, lifeless, yet realistically textured thing that gives you encouragement in a digitized voice as you hump it, I suggest making sure you’re not a necrophile. And if you are, congratulations! Samantha’s your dream woman!
