The fembot vodka icons of Svedka are back with a politically provocative slogan: “Make cocktails, not war.”

Wish our presidents thought that way. Well, maybe this one does. The Svedka campaign is probably just a thinly-veiled attempt to get us all to warm to the idea of robot rule before, after a short-lived golden age meant mainly to ease the transition, they all kill us for the sake of efficiency.

It’s all just like Flight of the Conchords said it would be – except they failed to mention a critical component of our overtaking would be the T and A factor of said robots.

Nobody prepares you for the loneliness of being well-married. Not unhappy enough to leave, not connected enough to stop aching, just existing in the strange middle territory where everything is fine and fine is the loneliest word in the English language
