Turn Your Roomba Into a Household Google Bot
Wael Chatila writes "By adding an on-board computer and a camera on a Roomba, the Roomba can be used to index your home. As a bonus, you can also control the Roomba across an internet connection, and see the images from the camera — a spybot for you to check on your own home while you are out."
So.. at first I was looking at it as a satire of the Chinese hacking incident, but then you threw in the stuff about the drugs and I got confused. Could someone with better reading comprehension explain this to me?

Perhaps the thing with running over Scooter the dog is also satire into the Chinese governement being certain of what's good for its citizens. They want to censor the web to protect them from the truth. You could see Scooter as Tiananmen Square. It's uncomfortable for China to acknowledge it. Who needs Google Bot in their Garage anyway is likely China's answer, they may not be certain they need Google in their country if it's going to reveal its dirty secrets.

I guess I shouldn't have baked in a joke about over medication and problems with American parenting and just stuck to making fun of The Bad Guys? I was hoping the mother's initials would make it obvious. Sorry for the confusion.
My work here is dung.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned DJ Roomba from a recent Parks & Recreation episode.
