Speaking of FOX News, here’s a screen capture of their front page from Tuesday:

Note the article titled Which State Will Be First to Legalize…SEX WITH A ROBOT?, which I presume is aimed at getting people all riled up about gay marriage again.

I think you could make the same argument for the other side of the aisle referencing, say, Air America Radio.
I’ve already predicted that in a decade or two, the big issue will be illegal aliens, alien marriage, and alien clergy/bishops in the Anglican/Episcopalian Church. Robot sex will do until the mothership arrives.
