what if all the candidates are robots

[quinnox]

Have you ever considered the possibility that the candidates might be artificial lifeforms, meant to fool everyone? A plan from on high, mysterious unknown sources to place the chosen one to run against Bush. My tinfoil hat is firmly in place, please accept this in the spirit it is given.

1. What if?

I think its safe to say that they definately ARE robots.

Didn't you see the Simpsons Halloween Special in which Clinton and Dole were replaced by Kodos and Kang?

2. Well, maybe aliens?

You know, like in that episode of the "Simpsons" where Clinton and Dole are both aliens in disguise :)

8. The fake media are robots

10. What if we're all robots...

and the candidates are real? Or worse, what if 'Republicans' are actually 'Replica's' (get it?) of what were once human beings, and some alien lifeform is slowly replacing the human population with these 'Replica's'. I mean, how do you explain what happened to Blair? Soon we'll all be sporting mullets and signing on to the Free Republic, or at the other end of the spectrum, dying our hair blonde, spackling on the make-up and attending Bush fundraisers in furs (or getting that porcine/evil elf appearance and wearing dull suits if you're male)? Oh god, kill me now!!

11. Hey, thanks!

You've just given me a great idea for a science fiction short story!

Actually, I wouldn't put ANYTHING past the Bushistas!

12. Why not? All the neocons are robots

remotely controlled by an evil emperor cyberbot from the planet Rovula.

15. Actually, I asked myself a similar question the other day

What if everyone except me on DU were robots? And DU was one huge mind control experiment targeting lil' old me?

This is a valid question if you've been reading and posting to DU for a long stretch of time (10+ hours)

:hangover:

16. I think most DUers can pass the Turing Test.

17. What if it's all in your mind?

And everything that exists is a reflection of your thoughts? How can we prove that George W. Bush actually exists? How do we know that anything outside of our mind is real? What if it's all a bad dream?

:silly:
