If in doubt chuck in some robots

  • July 4, 2007
  • Popjustice

It is difficult to think of a single film, painting, tele­vi­sion series, pho­to­graph, the­at­rical pro­duc­tion or pop video — we're talking 'most of the visual arts' here — which would not instantly be rendered 300% better by the presence of some robots.

Kanye West's new 'Stronger' video features some robots. Famous ones, as it happens. The video is a typical low-budget affair.

Also — TREND ALERT! — 2007 looks like it might be the year of…

…com­pletely useless sunglasses in pop. One of these days a popstar is going to be so busy trying to look cool in sunglasses he can't properly see out of that he gets hit by a bus. Do not say we didn't warn you.
