Robo-Lolita


Japan has a fascination with robots and devoted billions to developing cyborgs destined to help mankind. This week they unveiled the cyber-girl Repliee R-1, who was designed by Tsukuba University to help the injured and elderly. Her age is 5 and she obeys the three Laws of Robotics.

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Some people think Repliee R-1 scary, but not Gary Glitter. He's ordered two.

Meanwhile the USA has come out with a new potato chip.

Kosher Bacon Lite.

It cost $40,000,000 to produce.

USA.
