Video: Kids Love Cylons, er, Sony's Robot

Behold! Watch as these children adopt inanimate objects as their friends! No more pillows with fluffy cartoon characters. No more "blankies." Yes, my friends, it's time for kids to start embracing A.I.!

These kids are actually super cute, especially when they bring the robot a blanket when it lays down to go to sleep. But I can't say this is too horribly surprising... I mean, kids have a tendency to embrace everything around them as their friends. This does raise an interesting point: we have a flaw in the system. All the Cylons have to do is start the infiltration with our kids, and they'd be unstoppable. Whatever, as long as I get my Jude Law Gigolo Android, I'm fine!
