AHHH HELL NO!
If you stop and listen, you may hear the sound of something being scraped along a wood surface. The sound is not being produced by rats clawing at your walls but instead the sound is being produced by Isaac Asimov spinning in his grave.
No doubt by now you've seen trailers for the new Will Smith summer action movie "I, Robot."
The book, written by Asimov, is a collection of short stories that focus on Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics.
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Not only is "I, Robot" an interesting piece of literature that examines how mankind interacts with artificial beings, "I, Robot" is also an awesome concept album created by the Alan Parsons project.
Somehow, the Hollywood machine has created a movie in which Robots from the future go haywire and attack their creators. Instead of titling this movie "KILL ALL ROBOTS," the title of "I, Robot" was chosen despite the movie having NOTHING to do with Asimov's collection of short stories. Well that's not entirely true. Both Asimov's stories and this movie involve Robots.
Still basking in the glow of cinematic masterpieces such as "Wild Wild West," and "Men in Black II," Will Smith has been added as the star of the summer spectacle that will be "I, Robot." With the inclusion of Mr. Smith, I began to wonder if he would perform a new sterilized rap theme song about the 3 robot rules. The chorus can be Will Smith reciting the rules in a clever, accessible rhyme.
"Nah don't j'all tell me you forgot the rules three,
the ones the robos go by so we live in harmony,
The first of three works like a charm,
don't ever allow a human to come to no harm.
Rule two, 'scoo, is obey every human's command,
but don't break rule one, these two go hand'n'hand.
And the very last rule, is selfless too,
always protect yo'self without breaking rules one or two.
I, ROBOT! wha I ROBOT! wha I ROBOT!"
I can't wait to buy the single.
