Attack Robot

A security robot attacked the Prime Minister of Japan. Koizumi wishes he purchased some Old Glory Insurance.

BTW – If the robot vomited on the Japanese PM, it would have passed the Turing Test.

    20 more years of robotic advances and they still can’t make one that doesn’t look like the piece of shit from Short Circuit.

    Short Circuit … AUUUGHH! My brother was obsessed with that movie. It was one of the few we owned on VHS when I was little, and he played it EVERY DAY after school. I will never be able to get “no disassemble Johnny number 5” out of my head.

    If you’ve seen the trailer for Stealth, it’s quite obvious that it’s just Short Circuit modernized… robot AI gets struck by lightning which grants sentience, maverick AI behavior ensues, robot must be brought back. Oh, I hope the Guttenberg is in it.
