Come With Me If You Want To Live...


What? Am I the ONLY person on the planet that has seen the Terminator? Didn't Sarah Connors tell the world that they were coming? Didn't Morpheus warn us all about the Matrix?
We know how deep the rabbit hole goes, yo. We know.
I distinctly remember the Borg assimilating assorted members of Starfleet. Was it my imagination or did Jean Luc Picard end up with the broken bits of household appliances shoved into a few body cavities?
Yeah. It did look like it hurt didn't it?
So why is the government building robots with .50 caliber machine guns attached to the roof?
At the very least they could have put one those smiley faces on the sides to make it look less like the end of the world, eh? That would have made me a lot happier. Ooh! How about sticking one of those plushy Garfield the Cat with the suction cups on his paws on the front?
That would be awesome.
Of course, it would still have a high powered machine gun, all-terrain tires, combat armor, GPS Navigation and target tracking and an EMP hardened CPU.
Hmm... That actually sounds like a sweet rig.
Can you play XBox on it?
Wait. Machine guns. Right.
All we need is for those things to be patrolling the cities of America. Been there, dont that, saw Robocop in the theater. I for one don't want to end up on the wrong end of a conversation with an ED-209. I don't care if Robocop is on duty.
Television is rife with examples of machinery gone wild.
And not in the good way.
You wanna know what happens to people when you give robots automatic weapons?
You get smurfed.
That's right my friend, you get smurfed royally.
Nothing good has ever come from giving an Android...
Hold on a sec...
(What? What is it Murray? Kinda busy here in case you haven't noticed...
The who? ACL- Look, I don't care what they said.
No way.
You had better be joking...
What the he-
What!?! I have to call them what?
You're putting me on. Murray, I am in no mood for your shenanigans.
Let me see that...
Holy cannoli.
Don't they have anything better to do?
So I can't even call them Robots anymore?
Wow. This is what America has come to...
Oy vey.
I hate those guys. I really do...)
Okay. Sorry about that.
Where was I?
Oh yeah. So if you give a-
ahem...
Organically Challenged Entity a weapon, you are basically sealing the fate of all mankind.
(What is it now?
Of for the love of... Whatever. Fine. Fine. Just tell them to stuff it..)
And womankind.
Sheesh.
Power to the people baby.
