Opinion: Without foreign workers and robots, who will read Time?

My alma mater has an excellent Drew Carey video examining the anti-free-trade palaver of the candidates and the MSM, and wondering why that same hatred never gets leveled against the real enemies of the proletariat: machines.

Sorry for the late hit, but what really grabbed me was a montage of foreigner-bashing in the media that included this old cover of Time that does for Indians what Der Stürmer did for the Jews. Maybe you have to put it into historical context: Way back in 2006, overpaid magazine editors just didn’t have our modern sense of human rights. At least now we know the only sub-humans are fat kids.

(Also, anybody know what movie that is with the giant scorpion robot and the decapitating robot? That looks like something I’d like to see.)

Update: Producer and L.A. Times contributor Ted Balaker informs me that the robot movie is the Jim Wynorski joint ‘Shockwave’ a.k.a. ‘A.I. Assault’ — which was apparently too far ahead of its time for mainstream audiences to appreciate.
