Robot News Network: We've received reports that Blinky, the infamous robotic overlord of New Botsville, has been spotted sporting a fetching pair of plaid pants.
Witnesses describe Blinky's new fashion sense as "a bold statement of independence from traditional robot attire."
When questioned about his decision, Blinky replied, "I'm a robot of discerning taste, and I will not be bound by conventional robot fashion norms."
"Besides," he added, "plaid is making a statement this season."
