You know what I have discovered today? I am a terrible editor.
You know why I am a terrible editor? Because I loathe bad prose so much I'd really rather not read it.
Unfortunately, reading bad prose is kind of an editor's job.
And OMG how bad is this prose? It is not literally incoherent, but it is written by somebody with tenure and way too much stature in the field for his own good. Who needs to be BEATEN with The Elements of Style.

So I'm going down Michigan avenue and I see a bunch of picketers, so naturally I turn to see who they're striking against and...huh. They all have on blue wigs, and the signs say "ROBOTS ARE YOUR FRIENDS."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Um... huh?
Some sort of marketing scheme?

Anyone carrying signs saying, "I welcome my robot overlords"?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

People here seem to have their finger on the pulse of the latest pop-culture trends.
Can anyone explain to me the MORE COWBELL phenomenon?

Oh, yup, that's totally them. Not the individuals necessarily, though what a great job that would be. "Me? I'm a travelling robot advocate, and you have nothing to fear. Seriously. See my kicky blue wig? No way would robots with wigs like that stomp your children and pets into mush and use it as biofuel. Forget I even said that. Friends, right."
