Noel Edmonds… run away!

Even very small children can recognize the Uncanny Valley and flee. My concern is the day the bots become truly lifelike… and fast.

Argh! Their book isn’t available in the US. Must. Find. Importer…

That is freaking awesome.

Is “12nd” a mistake or is it part of the joke?

The specific date doesn’t seem important if you can’t know how to comply anyway.

Did you reread the poster for more information?

The "Don't" campaign and Kak, 1973

I didn’t understand until I read it for the 3st time.

1970s celebrity, Top of the Pops presenter, worked with children.

Who wouldn’t run away?

Catcherbots that roam the town’s roads, looking for children whose parents unwisely hid them from the civic trials of the 1970s

My mother and her friends tried to protect us from detection…

It was in vain, but I was the only one out of the group to somehow survive the trials.
