Before Alyson Hannigan taught millions how to play the flute, she
was telling them about Mylanta’s curative powers. She couldn’t have been more than 12 or 13 in this spot, and she already had those adorably stoned vocal mannerisms. They’re probably what charmed her doctor-averse father into the waiting room. Well, that or her magic powers.

In another step on mankind’s road to bitter servitude at the hands of intelligent machines, Honda’s ASIMO robot this week conducted the Detroit Symphony in a performance of “The Impossible Dream†from Man of La Mancha. (Which has apparently become an anthem of sorts for Honda.) I know what you’re thinking: Detroit has a symphony orchestra? I was shocked too. But not as shocked as the world’s conductors will be when those baton-wielding bots put them out of work. Sure, symphony leaders probably make up less than .0001% of the global workforce — but it’s a bridgehead those metal fiends won’t soon surrender. You can already see them doing recon in this ASIMO commercial by Wieden + Kennedy. At the concert, the robot said: “It is absolutely thrilling to perform with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. This is a magnificent concert hall.†Who programmed this guy, Honda’s PR department? Oh, yeah. I guess they did. UPDATE: Here’s a video of the performance.

According to a new survey, about half of all Internet users would support a voluntary code of conduct for bloggers and commentators. Code of conduct? Sounds like lawyer talk. And indeed, the research was conducted by legal firm DLA Piper, who found that 32 percent of bloggers back the idea, with 34 percent opposed. They didn’t contact AdFreak — a snub that alone makes the survey highly suspect. Anyway, DLA determined that 75 percent of Web users who posted comments are unfamiliar with libel laws. Which means you can probably get away with referring to three-fourths of the world’s commenters as Satanic child molesters. Feel free to comment and share your views on an Internet code of conduct — while you still can. It’s not like you’re legally accountable for what you post. Or are you? (Actually, you are, but don’t tell the Satanists.)
