Dear Paro,

My name is Evan, and I am a very influential and handsome robot blogger. I met you at CES last January and was very impressed with your warmness and softness and squishyness and general omgIwantone-ness. I especially like how you modify your behavior based on tactile feedback and can recognize greetings and learn your name. In order to educate the rest of the world on just how theraputic you can be, I would like to offer you the opportunity to come live with me. Also, you can spend time with my girlfriend, who could use a snuggly therapy robot… Plus, she is sort of a robot herself, so I’m sure you two would have a lot in common. I know you cost $6,000, but when you consider how very influential and handsome I am, I’m sure you will agree that visiting me would be awesome.

Yours truly,

-Evan
BotJunkie Editor, Influential, Handsome

Yes, I can attest to all of this. Even the handsome part. Or maybe especially the handsome part?
