talking into a ghost? I don't think so.

A man in Japan, who likes to clone himself with a droid, has made an 8 inch ghost-looking doll which he says will be used to talk to your friends and family.

The ghosty looking fetus-thing will "emit" your presents as you download your face and features onto your ghosty phone thing and when you use it to call someone else, your presents goes into their phone and they can see and hear you... as this little doll.

I don't know all the ins and outs of it.. but this seems too strange for me.

I don't think I'd like to hold a doll-phone to talk to someone. I can't imagine this little thing talking back to me. Seems creepy.
