Skynet's Revenge


Okay. So I'm watching the NBA Finals and the camera is scanning around the Staples Center to find celebrities and I'm fine with this. I've accepted the fact that I'm not sitting court side any time soon in a championship series: I'm not Jack Nicholson or Sly Stalone or Eddie Murphy. These are superior beings and they get to sit closer to greatness. That's only fair. And the other seats taken up by filthy rich producers? I'm okay with that, too: I'm not sure what producers do, but they get a free pass because I'm embarrassed to ask.

However, I draw the line with tin cans watching sports: Wall-E get the hell out. Seriously, I know ABC, as part of the Walt Disney Company, is trying to do a little "product promotion," but is nothing sacred? A robot sitting in the stands in Game 3?

That said, I am looking forward to Game 4. I hear Pepsi has kicked out Magic's orphans and a couple of leukemia victims from the Make-A-Wish foundation to make room for ten vending machines in the second row.

The best part is that, in the third quarter, KG has agreed to catch an alley-ooped soda and dunk it in Gasol's face. The orphans are going to love that back at the shelter.
