“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
And then the ice cracked from the weight and they all died.

Poor, frozen drowned scientists. Yes, the Citroen Robot did not have his asimov laws installed that day because they interfered with him being a BADASS.
While I know it's wrong, I think 'being a BADASS' superceding all of Asimov's laws of robotics . . . well, it would just lead to the best robot stories EVER.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, watching that the Citronbot does come off as a bit of a dick.
