This is the Robot Nation video I showed at Design Festa this weekend. I opted out of doing sound for it (DF is so noisy that nobody could have heard it anyway) but might revisit it to add some sound effects now that it's onlnie. The Japanese version is online at YouTube, too.
During the weekend, thousands of people just passed by without pausing, but a few hundred stopped and watched it all the way through. Reactions were either expressionless viewing or laughing at the right places. A few people got to the racy scene and turned away. A handful of people (mainly men) watched it several times in a row. One young man called his girlfriend over to watch it - that pleased me.
I'm not sure if the message got across to everyone, but I hope it did to at least a few people.

Thanks so much for creating that - the "birth-giving machines" comment was shocking at the time, but this makes it ludicrous and funny. Sound and music would be great if you decide to do it, and you'd have the fun of choosing the music and narrating it (translation: you'd be up until the wee hours getting the cues right).
This turned out great! Glad you had a good time with it.
