Every school will have one! Soon! A Robot Zero!
I think you're on to something. This has to be a Japanese animatronic bot.
The robot comment - along with the telepromters reminds me of a trip to Disney World. My little daughter is watching intently - front row - in the President’s Hall. She isn’t blinking, turns and whisper’s “So George Washington is still alive?” No honey, most of these presidents are dead - these are just robots.
She keeps watching, just enthralled. Lincoln gets done talking, and he is holding something white in his hands, a book, eyeglass case - or something.
My daughter leans over and whispers again, in all seriousness “He needs those notes for his speech because he is just a robot”.
HHHHHMMMMMMMMM!!!!????
Folks, if you haven't seen this, and you are even looking at this thread, you MUST visit this link: The Onion: Video News Report of Teleprompter Failure at the Obama Family Dinner Table
It is priceless, with this line of dialog:
"...and there was the cap lock incident, where Obama nearly shouted himself hoarse over the course of that speech, and there were various mixups where teleprompter operators displayed the wrong lines...once it caused him to say "I played a little basketball myself in high school" after sampling a piece of Cape Cod salt water taffy...boy the GOP had a field day with that one...it was awful...Obama was furious about it; he had his staff put a long angry rant into the teleprompter for him to scream at them..."
