"A superhuman object of desire combining Madonna, Schwarzenegger and Marcel Duchamp."

One "Wildcat"interviews ThighMaster Futurist Natasha Vita-More.

No, it's not a dream. No, it's not satire. It's really happening, you really are reading these things.

I will admit, as a grader of student papers, I did find it rather soul-destroying just trying to push through the grammatical errors that appear in sentence after sentence, but, really, it's worth it. If nothing else one has to appreciate the Robot Cultists for the pure unadulterated camp value of their productions.

The, um, fine art accompanying the interview is also a revelation. I especially dig the Maxfield Parrish-slash-Maxim Centerfold writhing in a slick metalized kinda-sorta uncoiling DNA spiral and also the naked white dude with the iPods taped over his peen (yeah, I know who he is). "The Audacious Beauty of Our Future," indeed. h/t JimF
