| Robot Runs For Mayor In Japan |
| 2018-04-17 |
| Sounds like your typical Democrat... [Mirror UK, via Drudge] - A robot has been nominated to run for the position of mayor in Tokyo, promising to be "fair and balanced" to all its constituents. Wait a minute - did Sean Hannity program this thing? The mayoral election in Tama City features the usual high-ranking local politicians, as well as an artificial intelligence candidate competing alongside its human counterparts. AI guy - you're in the wrong line of business! Posters plastered across the district feature the faces of smiling party leaders, with slogans promising change for the city. If a pol is smilin', he's lyin! And in line with election propaganda, the robot nominee, dubbed Michihito Matsuda, has branded vans, posters and inspirational soundbites. Can't be any worse than canned politicians. |

| #5 I'd let Marvin (HHGTTG) vote, if he'd ever show up. |

| #3 As long as it's not found with a dead hooker or a live boy, it should do well. |
