The "man" is a pervert and a hack, and anyone who supports him is an accessory after the fact to perversion and assholery.
Oh, and if "halfCanadian" means what I think it means, it is little suprise you are a closet case, puddin.

You beat me to it!

Your right, entirely. You are free to enjoy putting your very own ducats and giving your very own props to the gay-bashing bastard. More power to you.

As far as Orson Scott Card goes, anything that promotes the persistence of his public career is out and anything that hastens his slide into his well-deserved obscurity is in. There are so many deserving stories and storytellers out there, and he is such a baboon's butt, that the insistence of the Hollywood…

Thou shalt not create a machine in the likeness of a human mind.

Fascinating. He has a mental matrix cross-referencing much more than shape/capital/name ... he seems to have a grasp of the history and interaction of nations, as well.

Is it unfortunate that Sam said it, or unfortunate that Americans are robophobic?

I could have sworn I saw these guys a little more recently ... maybe 5 million years ago, in London.

Scuses, scuses.
I did like the episode, but it was sloppy.

It is a long, deep read, but I predict you will love it.
I am curious to see how it translates to the screen.

The same genetic anomaly that causes its unusual facial expression causes joint problems and neuromuscular problems. Good thing it's such a coot kittay, or it would have died long ago; its owner takes extraordinary care to ensure Grumpy Cat's well-being.

Strap an IR camera to your cortex and find out!
Science!

The light of Earth's dying receded.

Seriously.
A test for the ability of people with proven perception malfunctions (ie: seeing numbers and letters instead of colors) to visualize their own limbs.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. I knew there was something familiar about her.

"After the fowl murder"
I think it may have been something a little Freudian leaking out due to the Tengu dude.

Took you three months to get it wrong, puddin?
