I must confess to having never before heard of the web site Topless Robot -- a self-proclaimed bastion of "nerd news, humor, and self-loathing" -- but they appreciate the likes of Scott Pilgrim , and I in turn appreciate the likes of "10 Helpful Suggestions for Killing John Connor," which is exactly...
