Narrator: [in movie] Did you notice what went wrong in that scene? Ordinarily, Billy would work hard to make money from his paper route. Then he'd use the money to buy dinner for Mavis, thus earning the slim chance to perform the reproductive act. But in a world where teens can date robots, why should he bother? Why should anyone bother? Let's take a look at Billy's planet a year later. [The scene changes and a foam hand rolls across an empty football field.] Where are all the football stars? [The foam hand drifts across an empty laboratory.] And where are the biochemists? [The scene changes to a split screen of human and robot couples making out on beds.] They're trapped! Trapped in a soft, vice-like grip of robot lips. All civilisation was just an effort to impress the opposite sex... and sometimes the same sex. Now, let's skip forward 80 years into the future. Where is Billy?
[The scene changes to a post-apocalyptic world. Billy is an aged man but still with his Monroe-bot and still making out with her.]
Billy: [in movie] Farewell!
[He dies.]
Narrator: [in movie] The next day, Billy's planet was destroyed by aliens. [A fleet of flying saucers destroy buildings with laser shots.] Have you guessed the name of Billy's planet? It was Earth. Don't date robots!
I work at an EB in Oz...
We were taking preorders until the company said enough...
Our store alone clocked up 150 and customers are still asking, with launch just 4 days away we've told the preorderers that we'll be open midnight...
That's pretty fked in my book because it'll be the midnight till 2-3am...then we'll be open 9 to 9 for late night shopping...
Luckily I'll be avoiding the chaos.. I have IT exams;)

The worth of an animal is inherent...not dependant on human perceptions of beauty...
The inherent value of an animal that has become extinct is IMHO multiplied ten fold...new species aren't springing up like Linux distros you know!
