	American television producers might claim that they despise Japanese anime
as mere cartoon pornography, but they're not above stealing from it. I'm
sitting here writing, with the tube on for background noise when to my
surprise, I see a bit of what looks like Bubblegum Crisis!

	I take a closer look, and it's the animated version of 'Robocop - Alpha
Commando'. The Villain of the Day is using a remote controlled spider-mech
to attack Robo... a design that's  nothing more than the GD-42 'Genki'
Battlemover from BGC - Double Vision, with a tiny bit of cosmetic make-up.
The structure of the legs and the weapon mounts were a dead giveaway.

	*sigh* Human hypocracy.. gotta love it. ^_^

	Heh.
