| Description: | Same as catalog # 490996 THE FACE OF THINGS - TO COME! Odd story about a talking robot with curly hair answering questions. United States of America? Meet Alpha, the robot, constructed entirely of metal but controlled only by the voice. Looks something like Frankenstein in a suit of armor with painted facial features (it's funny). The presenter asks it questions "How tall are you?", "How much do you weigh?" and it answers in a male monotone voice, swinging it's head from side to side. It is asked if it like little boys or girls and it responds "No." but gives a positive response when it is asked if it likes ladies. A young woman approaches the robot and asks it if it wants to get married and what sort of women it likes, it responds "blondes" and she looks disappointed (she is brunette). The presenter asks if it likes the young woman anyway and wouldn't he like to marry her and it responds "she'll do." | |
