Blogging free association:

When I was a kid I thought Transformers sucked. However when Optimus Prime sold out for christmas 1984, a lot of kids were left disappointed. I imagine that pain is what led directly to the creation of this lifesize mini cooper/bipedal robot transformer (check the unbelievably awesome videos).

Yoel Sano was also one of those disappointed kids. He loved transformers more than life. Now he diverts all the pent up rage from that sad christmas morning into articles about John Kerry's policy as regards North Korea.

John Kerry is pretty damn unfunny. When asked to supply his favourite joke by a fraudulent 10 year old, he replied with this veritable gigglethon. Of all the 100 senators polled, only a couple of Democrats were even passably amusing.

If you want get a laugh out of a Republican, I suggest the Dubya Bot. Armed with all G-Dub's best quotes it provides much better automated conversation than its colleague Hampy The Hamster Expert.

Maybe you don't enjoy talking with bots. But you have to beware, because now NannyBots are stalking kid's chatrooms trying to lure paedophiles. There is something deeply unethical about this. Not that I object to catching would-be child molesters with these robo-agents provocateurs, but because it's imbecilic to clog chatrooms with bots. Far more children will be lured into inane conversations with bots than actual paedophiles.
