WTF Thursday: God-Jesus Robot

[Update- Norri Kageki from GetRobo explains it all in her comment below]
Um, yeah. Bear with me here… The way the God-Jesus Robot apparently works is that you pray to it for romantic advice, and then it either nods or shakes its head to tell you what to do. If anyone reads Japanese, please post what it says on the box (it’s in the link below) in the comments, because I can only imagine that the actual instructions are even weirder.

So this is a fortune-telling toy. You ask the robot or think about a question, such as “Does he like me?” or “Am I gonna get rich?” and then clap. It seems to have a sound detector so when you clap the robot will move forward and bow it’s head. Then the robot will answer your question in either of the 4 ways. Big nod-Abosolutely YES, small nod – Yeah, kinda, shakes its head a little bit – Unlikely, shakes its head profusely – NEVER. The robot will bow its head again in the end.

You know,a Magic 8 Ball does the same thing and it’s probably cheaper than Jesus Robot!!!
