No Sex Robot Brothel For Houston

[Floyd R. Turbo]

The city council of Houston, Texas unanimously passed an updated ordinance Wednesday that effectively blocks a proposed "sex robot brothel" from opening.

A Canadian company that already operates an "adult love dolls rent before you buy service" in Toronto had hoped to open a location in Houston and even started construction before running into permit issues that halted work.

The company, KinkySdollS, sells and rents human-like dolls that can cost more than $3,000 each.

Prior to the council's Wednesday vote, locals had organized to express their concerns; a petition speaking out against the business gained more than 10,000 signatures.

5. The "doll" technology is rapidly advancing to include robotics

and Artificial Intelligence. The oldest profession will likely be replaced with almost real life robots.

6. You've got to give Houston men a hand.

No, seriously, they need a hand. They're getting carpal tunnel in their favorite one.

Of course, there's always the engineering solution:
