Parodies-r-us

jayNow remembering the goofball reporter that called me on 9/26, just before I left for the field... I should have known better. Apparently this week's local entertainment tabloid (San Jose "Metro") includes a story poking fun at Mars robotics in general and parodying the subject. I haven't seen the story, but am apparently mocked, misunderstood (intentionally?) and taken far out of context... and I apparently "badly need a wedgie", as quoted by a co-worker via email. I haven't seen the article myself... just as well I'm in Spain, I suspect.

Re: Thumbs Down on the Metro Article
Date: 2003-10-10 05:21 am (UTC)I had to correct her several times during the interview ("no, robots aren't going to take over the world from humans..." etc.). To little avail, it seems.
Proof Luddites still exist, I guess. Or she's taking some doses of Hollywood a little too seriously. Or she was very attached to the idea that it'd be humorous (and failed).
