I have no idea why this company decided to use Scary Android Woman for their commercial. It makes me want to run away from the TV screen, but not to go buy bug spray that keeps a robot's skin soft and smooth.

Wow... that robot must live on the creepy side of the "uncanny valley".

I like how the power supply, cpu, and robot's platform are resting on top of haphazardly placed plywood. The extreme close-up shot is indeed scary.

I was fine until that close-up at the end. That creeped me out.
I'm tired of the sickly sound of my gf shouting "ã‚“kawaii" at the drop of a hat, but I'll take it over the "kowai" of that close-up.
