Japanese Bots Point Out Adult Entertainment

Because it is illegal in Osaka, Japan to solicit customers to local sex clubs, they are now utilizing robots to do the job for them. The bots direct potential clients to such places as massage parlors, “love” hotels, and cabaret and image clubs. Approximately 175 of the robots work the streets, waving and holding up bright yellow “Ask Me” signs. We think this idea might translate into other applications here in the U.S., where people are hired to stand in the cold in Big Boy costumes just to let us know that the restaurants are child-friendly.
