    Because it just passed the common man's version of the Turing test. Plus a little robot carrying a beer that is as bigger than the robot itself is just cool.

    Dear god, this argument again?

    European: "Your watery swill you call 'beer' has to be served at cryogenic temperatures before anyone can stand to drink it!"

    American: "The only thing your piss-icky room-temperature sludge has going for it is that it has alcohol in it."

    Let's all just agree that Skittlebrau is the best beer.
