I thought so too.

Political journalism: finally starting to not suck so much.

Absolutely brilliant.

I wish it was my idea.

Every time I see the word "Replicant" I read it as "Republican."

I'd vote for TOM AMMIANO! "Blade Runner" fan!

Hysterical. I'll have to look for this paper in the future.

They're not synonymous?

Sean, The Wave is a free rag, aka the best kind of magazine.

― Leee (Leee), Saturday, 6 September 2003 04:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I know, I've just never bothered to pick it up.

― Sean (Sean), Saturday, 6 September 2003 04:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Insane, yet outrageously funny. Just smacks of the "Onion", though. What would happen, if one of the candidates was a replicant? Would you stun them with a laser?

six years pass...

ok ny times book review

In Ridley Scott’s dystopic film “Blade Runner” (based on the Philip K. Dick novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”), the title character has the unpleasant job of exterminating “replicants” — bioengineered androids designed not to have advanced emotions. To distinguish replicants from their human counterparts, he subjects them to a test called a “void comp,” meant to expose their inadequate capacity to feel.
