The Mormons are building an army. An army of robots!
Booze-hating robots
With big blue eyes!
Actually, the robots sell booze.
I guess they don’t hate booze. Just as long as no human being touches it.
PS–if any Mormons are offended by this, well, it’s so silly, I couldn’t resist. But Mormons seem to make good neighbors, and are more comfortable to be around than some other faiths I could name…
“Booze-Hating Robot” would make a greeat scrren name.
Or maybe “Happy Scrappy Booze-Hating Robot.”
Damn.
Gort - Klaatu baruda nicto!!!
Wait - that’s for a 1950’s style robot
I spent four years in Salt Lake City. Their liquor laws are beautifully arcane. If anyplace was going to institute a weird system of warehousing booze, it would be Utah.
They probably think robots are immune to the clarion call of alcohol. They’ll learn better when these foot-high robots start organizing their own Private Clubs (you have to belong to a “private club” in Utah in order to buy and drink liquor at a bar). And since they’re only 1 foot high, they can get drunk on less than a person would need. Then they’ll start drinking coffee and tea and showing porno films from the tiny projectors in their heads and proselytizing for the Tanners. But by then it’ll be too late.
I looked at that article. Didn’t it say 106-foot-high robots?
Now I’m thinking “Iron Giant”.
