Robosapien: Cool Robot, Dreadful Web Site That Needs a Blog

Wow Wee's Robosapien "affordable humanoids" ($99) are way cool 14 inch high robots with 67 pre-programmed functions that allow him to "pick up, throw, kick, dance, kung-fu, fart, belch and (God help us) rap. He also exhibits rude behavior. The Website contains some pretty hilarious FAQs.

Robosapiens are designed by a NASA scientist (on loan until they stop crashing his robots into Mars.)

So how come the site's online press room is so primitive?

Here's a site that cries out for a blog! Online press rooms are among the most logical uses for blogs, yet I have not been able to find a single company that is using blog software to create easily updated, automatically searchable online press rooms.
