A sex doll was so heavily molested by eager men it broke before anyone could actually use it. Or use it privately, anyway.
We're not entirely sure what happened to 'Samantha'. But its owner complained that the £3,000 robot was left "heavily soiled" after being exhibited at a tech fair.
Developer Sergi Santos, from Barcelona, Spain, says visitors to the Arts Electronica Festival in Linz treated the 'intelligent' sex doll "like barbarians", and added that two fingers were broken in the melee.
"The people mounted Samantha's breasts, her legs and arms," Sergi said. "Two fingers were broken. She was heavily soiled."
Sergi added that the robot had to be sent back in a parcel to Barcelona for repairs and cleaning after being left so filthy and broken by the never-ending male attention.
But said: "Samantha can endure a lot, she will pull through."
Not sure I could get a 3,000 pound robot up to my 3rd floor walk-up...

Pardoned, Aristarchus, that is your right, and I will uphold it till my dying breath.
> I can actually see using a sex doll, if the things weren't so awkward. [...] moving the damned doll around, cleaning it [...] They need to become true robots, capable of putting themselves away
Absolutely, and this is one direction where technology is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down its advances. Not soon perhaps, but I can see something ticking all those boxes as near in the future as the first microprocessor was in the past.
