Killer cyborg settles groping suit

Cyber-Organism RNE-800-101
SACRAMENTO, 25 Aug 2006. (UPI)California’s Black & More-Egg Corporation has settled a court case by a British woman who claimed that the Corporation’s RNE-Series model 800-101 killer cybernetic organism groped her after she interviewed him on television.

Lawyers for Black & More-Egg and for Anna Richardson, a former television host, told the Los Angeles Times that the terms of the agreement are confidential. In her legal suit, Richardson accused the cyborg (nicknamed ‘Arnie’) and two lesser ‘droids (the so-called 'Terminator Three') of libelling her by spreading stories that she had thrown herself at the robot.

Richardson said 'Arnie', after the taping of the interview, had fondled her breasts, telling her he wanted to know if they were ‘real human mammary organs’. The Governator’s version was that she had walked over to him holding her right breast and asked him what he thought. He had replied that, as an automaton, he could not 'think', but only 'act'.

Asked what his next step was, the Robossassin's lawyers replied that 'he'll be back'.
