Seiko-chan robot is adorable, which makes the commercial for her brother even creepier

I know none of us will ever buy the new “Murata Girl”, an updated version of the older “Murata Boy” robot, but the commercial for the Boy above is far creepier than the pictures of the Girl would imply. (I’d link the picture of the Girl, as well, but I’ve already swiped plenty from CrunchGear already.)

You really should click over, though: the “Seiko-chan” robot is shaped like a cute Japanese schoolgirl riding a unicycle. Adorable!

    Did the end of that commercial really just ask if I liked cooking?

    It’s actually asking if you like science.
