NASA astronaut Lisa ‘Robochick’ Nowak proves that even robots can experience “love malfunctions” as she drives cross-country to confront her ‘love rival’, a woman she believed was romantically involved with William ‘Billy O’ Oefelein (astronauts, like Top Gun Academy pilots, all have groovy nicknames, apparently…). Nowak ends up charged with attempted murder based on the kidnap kit in her car. And it gets weirder. AP story here. Parody analysis below.

Ironically, the show’s end will surely create enough vlog-ripples to result in a whole bunch of “new viewers” discovering the show, just in time to find out they’ve missed out on the daily spectacle of it (Ze’s made a habit of creating deliberately obtuse shows designed to mis-direct new viewers as to the true nature of the show – complete with the question, “have the new viewers gone yet?“)
