CES Buzz Blog - CNET.com: "A staple of any good trade show is a phalanx of attractive, invariably blank-faced women delivering the dazzling technical specs of products they've never seen and couldn't identify in a police lineup. The LG booth (Central hall, booth number 8214) is an excellent, if slightly disturbing, example. There, women recite perfectly memorized speeches as though reading an invisible teleprompter, with a truly astonishing lack of affect. It is, in fact, robotic. Really, you simply have to watch the blonde lady, if only for the part where she pauses, cocks her perfectly coiffed head, then says, 'Wow. That sounds awesome.' I can't do it justice. I really think she is a robot. "
