While a lot of people have been wondering if they want a Ps3 or a Wii, I’ve been wondering if I want a Wii or Pleo. I’ve finally decided. It’s going to be Pleo.
It’s not that I’m against the idea of standing in front of my television and flailing my arms like a madman until someone gets hurt. I do that every time I watch the news. It’s just that I’ve been pretty excited about this robot pet for a while. I’m even on its mailing list and dutifully fill out every survey that Ugobe sends me. It’s not a behavior that I recommend. I just want to see how my two cats, the surly one and the attention hog, react to the thing.
I wonder if they’ll ever make a robot pet that cleans up after the organic ones. I’m sick of cat shit. It’s bad enough that we have to feed these furry malcontents. Cleaning up their stinking waste is really a step too far for a civilized 21st century human.

Pleo kinda looks and acts like it’s shitfaced. No wonder you want one for company.
