Shorts doesn't have robots in it, nor does the news article pertain to evil agendas. It's like they threw it in just for the sake of mentioning a movie. The news seems to do that a lot whenever robots are involved. (At least there's no Terminator reference, though.)Fox News wrote:And in the children's fantasy film "Shorts," currently screening, Mr Black's Black Box also has a rather evil agenda.
Anyway, with Henrik Christensen, David Levy, and now Rodney Brooks all behind the idea of sex robots, it seems pretty safe to assume they'll come soon enough. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

<b><i>"To you, a robot is a robot. Gears and metal; electricity and positrons. Mind and iron! Human-made! If necessary, human-destroyed! But you haven't worked with them, so you don't know them. They're a cleaner, better breed than we are."</i></b>
