Make avatars say naughty things

OK, I was trying to find a .WAV file of Pee Wee Herman saying, "Paging Mr. Herman" when I found this link. It is a demo of Oddcast's SitePal product which "allows YOU to create speaking animated characters (avatars) for your web site, and add your own audio message via Text-to-Speech or voice recording."

Basically, you can type in ANY text you want and the attractive female animation (yeah, I realized how creepy that sounded after I typed it) will say it. As you can imagine, you can spend a lot of time thinking of clever things for them to say. And they will say ANYTHING.

BTW, notice how her eyes will follow your mouse. Weird.

Try it now (be sure to click the "try it now" button under the heading "Talk to me")
