Foxconn Begins To Assemble Its Robot Army 303

kkleiner writes "Foxconn, the Chinese electronics manufacturer that builds numerous mobile devices and gaming consoles, previously said the company would be aiming to replace 1 million Foxconn workers with robots within 3 years. It appears as if Foxconn has started the ball in motion. Since the announcement, a first batch of 10,000 robots — aptly named Foxbots — appear to have made their way into at least one factory, and by the end of 2012, another 20,000 more will be installed"

    Foxconn can kiss my shiny metal ass.

    Given the way Foxconn treats their employees, it makes me wonder if the robots will eventually revolt. (Terminator theme music)

    Mom: Billy, do you want to walk your dog?
    Billy: No thanks, mom. I'd rather have sex with my Foxbot.

    Dad: Billy, do you want to get a paper route and earn some extra cash?
    Billy: No thanks, dad. I'd rather have sex with my Foxbot.

    Mavis: Billy, do you want to come over tonight? We can have sex together.
    Billy: Gee, Mavis, your house is across the street. That's an awfully long way to go for having sex.

    Do not have sex with a robot! Before you know it, it will be the end of the human civilization.

    Bender: You humans are so scared of a little robot competition you won't even let us on the field.
    Fry: What are you talking about? There's all kinds of robots down there.
    Bender: Yeah, doing crap work! They're bat boys, ball polishers, sprinkler systems. But how many robot managers are there?
    Fry: Eleven?
    Bender: Zero! (He throws his bottle on the floor and it breaks. A small robot comes out and cleans it up.) And what a surprise! Look who's scraping up the filth! Is it a human child? I wish!

Always look over your shoulder because everyone is watching and plotting against you.
