  It hints of Idoru, but isn't. This is much more like a Blue Ant kind of feel. William Gibson references.

  Does anyone remember the movie "Simone?"

  Honestly? There's no way this is true. I watched the video segment a half dozen times, and Aimi's components do not look like those of the girls that they are suggesting. It's fantastic marketing though. "Let's make them think that a real girl is a virtual girl whose pretending to be a real girl." The website is fantastic. http://www.icenomi.com/oshimen/index.html http://www.icenomi.com/oshimen/index.html And with global coverage, it's a perfect campaign. And all this for Ice Cream. Amazing. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/8587144/Japan-creates-more-computerised-pop-stars.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/8587144/Japan-creates-... Andrew Niccols did the same thing with SimOne. Pretending that she was virtual, when in fact she wasn't. She was his wife.
