Once You Go Bot, You Never Go Back [Futurism]:" Stephen Colbert chats with David Levy, author of a new futurist-sexology-robotics book called Love and Sex with Robots, in this strange clip. The best part is Levy's laconic delivery, as he ponderously explains that people will have sex with robots "within five years" and fall in love with them "within the next 40 to 50 years." And Colbert actually raises an interesting ethical question: is it "forcing sex" if you program your loverbot to want to have sex with you whenever you want it?"

Joss Whedon Back on TV:"tokenhillbilly writes "Joss Whedon of 'Buffy' and 'Firefly' fame has signed on to do another TV series on Fox starring Eliza Dushku (Faith from 'Buffy'). The series is going to be called Dollhouse, and the story surrounds a group of people 'programmed' to do missions out of a sort of high-tech dorm. '[The series] follows a top-secret world of people programmed with different personalities, abilities and memories depending on their mission. After each assignment -- which can be physical, romantic or even illegal -- the characters have their memories wiped clean, and are sent back to a lab (dubbed the "Dollhouse"). [The] show centers on Dushku's character, Echo, as she slowly begins to develop some self-awareness, which impacts her missions.'"
