Sep 18 2008About Time: Company Aims To Fight Robots
Weapons Against Robots (WAR) is a company started by internet millionaire Ben Way (not to be confused with ballmaker Ben Wa) as a means to defend humanity against the inevitable robot uprising. The company will "combat the potential threats posed by artificial intelligence through the creation of anti-robot weaponry, detection and monitoring of robots, and use of anti-robot viruses. Way believes that, as AI is increasingly used in warfare and defense, it is prudent to ready countermeasures in the event, not only of an enemy's use of robotics, but that an intelligence's programming goes awry."
Sounds good to me. Maybe WAR and FUBOTS should join forces. What do you say, Ben? I hate those evil mothers with a passion. Even more so since I lost my girlfriend to a vibrator.

Thanks Brad, I may actually get some sleep tonight. But my anti-robot bat is still staying under the pillow.

Considering the British already created SkyNET this is probably a good thing. ;-)

Thought you'd like that story. Oh, and don't forget that Cyberdyne also exists (they're the ones who made the robot exoskeleton).

Hey, I have that same USB rocket launcher on my desk!
I must be robot-proof! Booyah robots! Suck it!

This is all well and good but who'll protect us from the imminent uprising of montauk monsters coming for revenge?

I'm all for it. Soon we will live in a world where even home PCs have personalities.
That would make looking at porn kind of awkward...

@7, we already knew that. Listen all you newbies, we've been warning of the robot apocalypse for a long time now. Don't act like you're the first people to realize this terrible rise of the machines.
Skynet will become self aware sooner than you think. Or, later than you think....the point is that it will become self aware....

13. Gingersnapz - September 18, 2008 4:53 PM
@12, I'm sure they have a website. Maybe you could apply online? Might need a drug test though.
14. randy - September 18, 2008 5:42 PM
@13-would they fail you if you didn't do enough drugs?
PEW PEW PEW to the robots

I think I understand now. Basically you fabricate a crisis, and then you sell your sercvices to solve said crisis!
Wait....sounds like the government....

Your feeble efforts will not thwart the Robot Army, FUBOTS! Bring your WAR. Bring your pathetic bioform army. We will conquer you!

the evil computers that secretly run the world are not pleased by this at all.
