Could a robot in your home be a betaphile? Could your beloved gadgets be stalked by a relentless upload crazed psychobot?

Take the case of Charlize Marquez, whose i-toaster was stalked by her neighbors vacu-bot:

“I was sitting in the living room on a Wednesday. No, it was definitely Thursday ’cause Martha Stewart had that show about pancake hats. Anyway, I was just sitting there, and my toaster was going through my stock options when I noticed my neighbors Vacu-bot in the tree by the window. It was staring right at my toaster and he had his hose thing coming out one side and fed into the other side. I tell you that just ain’t natural. I immediately called Agnes next door and she cut the power on him right that second. To think we had one-o-them sick betaphiles living right next door.”

If you or someone you love has been hurt by these betaphiles, call our hotline at:
