The Japanese make some crazy weird ****. From game shows to porn to game show porn.
 
Cool but weird. Also I don't think people would pay 77,000 for that. (unless they're severely physically impaired?)

I didn't think people would pay a couple hundred bucks for what was essentially an enlarged iPod Touch, either. Shows what I know about capitalism.

Don't we already have machines for lifting patients in America? We use them all the time in hospice. The robot looks somewhat more convenient though.
