Gotta give it to the Japanese, sometimes they can really create some seriously spooky shit.
Chucky, full circle!

I actually think they are cute. Am I sick?

No, just probably had to many "Kirin Lagers" last night.

Wired: Creepy Japanese Doll Impersonates its Owner

Is this creepy enough for you? By sending just your photo and a couple of thousand dollars to Japanese company "Little Island", you can have your own miniature self, a robotic copy which can, as dreamed of by every small child, be sent to work or to school to toil on your behalf, leaving you free to surf the internet, munch on snacks and read Gadget Lab all day long. Well, not quite. The "robot", named Look a Like Doll in Japlish, isn't much more than a big plush toy with your face stuck on the front. It's only function is as a big, soft text-to-speech converter. Hook it up via ethernet (no Wi-Fi!) and it can read web content to you via RSS feed. So, answer our question: Is it creepy enough for you? No? Then try this. The doll will read the text to you ("today's weather and fortune-telling, etc.") in your own voice. That's right. It's the ultimate skin-crawling freakout. And if you're still not perturbed, might we suggest hitting a few of the links below, where you will find the spookiest moments from Gadget Lab's history.

Looks like Americans were doing this kind of creepy stuff back in 1953.
