Wow. Suddenly these lines from Tokyo Storm Warning make sense:
Japanese God-Jesus robots telling teenage fortunes.
For all we know and all we care they might as well be Martians
It would have helped had I ever just read the liner notes.

Are high bandwidth virtual reality simulations really the best way to reach out to the Middle East ?
... We can ask universities or local libraries or shopping malls to take these rooms. We've got the most amazing team of people working on this. You will walk in, and not only will you get the scholarly references, the computer banks, all of which are made more possible by technology, but you can also use virtual reality to see a small town in America, to have an interview, to listen to someone recite the Declaration of Independence, to hear a beautiful piece of music. That's the goal.
Apparently this will be finished within three months. That should give them enough time to program up some nice AIs to handle the interviews.

I can't complain when Viacom meat puppet Dan Rather whines about "patriotism run amok", but "the flaming tire of the lack of patriotism" is a little over the top.
Perhaps he's dizzy from the excessive g's from being inside the event horizon of the black hole of media concetration....
