sexy asian robot shaver commercial


Does anyone find the Asian-esque android in this rather elaborate Philips shaver spot kind creepy? A little disturbing? Okay, so robots are supposed to be kind of subservient, by design. But giving it that extra Asian "look" and the obvious sexual overtones... what are they trying to suggest? In future, my face will be shaved by sexy geisha-bots. Yay. Also, it's kind of a ripoff of Chris Cunningham's video for Bjork's "All Is Full of Love." (Thanks, Kalikko.)
