...opening salvo of songs all blended together into a morass of undistinguished low-key Beach Boys homage. The Furries’ trademark has always been their eccentricities, but here the music seemed positively average, and the quirky presentation came across as more silly than innovative. While their previously preferred mode of entrance was an honest-to-God tank, this time around they showed a video of a golf cart ride before walking onto the stage; it seems like Wales’ most famous musical export has aged considerably. That’s not to say that they didn?...
...Robosapien on Guard Mode, and it will watch and listen, screeching out comical alarms if disturbed. When you return and switch its mode, it reports how many times its perimeters had been compromised. Stick your hand in front of its face, and it uses color recognition to determine that you are human, and then it offers a high five. Be quick about it, because it's apt to pull the old "you're too slow" maneuver. It comes with a green bowling ball and three red pins, which it can recognize on sight and play with a little. The play...
...Programming the original Robosapien was difficult, and it forgot the program the instant it was turned off. This one is easy to program in Puppet Mode. Wag its limbs, turn its head and twist its torso, and it memorizes all of the moves for later.

Unlike its predecessor, this one speaks understandable English, too-speaks, in fact, of many things: Its likes (world domination) and dislikes (when you press Shift1, Shift2, Shift3...
...ways around the problems—a lessening of France’s now-infamous racism would probably do a lot to help—but, to state the obvious fact, history has no real examples of how a society formerly of one cultural, linguistic, and ethnic mode can transform into a society where a significant number of citizens don’t accept or even actively attack the societal norms. Europe is now witnessing the first serious consequences of its collective holiday from reality. Finally it is becoming clear that the continent’s social models as currently...
...LENNY BRUCE PERFORMANCE FILM Modern stand-up and (in the Jon Stewart mode) sit-down comedy is inconceivable without Bruce, who, before his 1966 death from a heroin overdose, smashed political icons and broke language barriers with equal daring and wit. In this 1965 filming of one of his last sets, Bruce is clearly addled by drugs and depleted by the series of obscenity cases he had to fight. But his mind still worked with a jazzman's improvisatory genius; the hipster fireworks he launched retain their explosive impact. And, man, was he funny...
