I… Robot?

It seems that today is apparently a slow news day, aside from Ahmadinejad’s routine “nuclear power” schtick, but that gets so old after a while. So, what does one do when there is seemingly no good news available to discuss?

Read CNN’s “Offbeat” news section! It usually has much better articles than any other part of CNN, but at the same time they are typically unimportant in the larger context of international significance. That is why I was shocked to find a recent article in that section claiming that a study released by the British government says someday robots might become so advanced, they could demand their independence.

This is very troubling news to me. For far too long, robots have slipped under the radar, making us think that they are harmless, perhaps even fun. This study simply confirms the truth: robots are a danger to democracy. That is why I’m putting them on Stephen Colbert’s THREAT DOWN!

It’s time to stop this robot menace before it starts. According to the study, independence for robots probably won’t be much of an issue until the mid-21st century, but that doesn’t mean we should “appease” them in advance. Remember what happened with Hitler!

I won’t stand for robots zipping around on their camoflaged cyber-choppers, flying around at all times of night, looting and thieving as they please. We must stop the robot menace now!
