Hasbro's Companion Pets - Lifelike robotic pets to bring comfort to the elderly

creepy concept...stick old people into assisted living and nursing homes, put robots next to them to keep them company...the end of the world is nigh!

Ha! I just watched the episode of Aziz Ansari's Master of None with the pet seal, PARO, that is exactly this.

This would be ridiculously fun to have in the Product Hunt offices. My only question is: would Pluto (the world's best intern) get along with it (cc @jacqvon)?
