Country's first 'robot sex brothel' set to open in Texas prompts backlash: report

The first so-called 'robot sex brothel' in the U.S. slated to open in the Houston area this month has prompted a massive backlash from residents and activists who say it will ruin the neighborhood. The company opened its first location last year near Toronto, where $60 buys a half-hour alone with a robot sex doll, according to the Washington Examiner. The dolls start at $2,500 to buy.

Update: Houston officials halt plans to open first US 'robot brothel'

Houston city officials have ordered at least a temporary halt to a Canadian company's plan to open a so-called "robot brothel" in the city. The Houston Chronicle reported that building inspectors ordered the halt after determining that the company, Kinky S Dolls, lacked the permits required for demolition and construction at a former 2,500 sq ft hair salon in the Galleria area of the city.

    So what this article is saying, is that Houston is worried that this new business could effect the governors kickbacks from the local whorehouses? I'm sure it will all settle in the end. Which is more pleasant than figuring out which end it will settle in.
