the pageboy haircut leads one to believe that his favorite Johnny Cash song would be “A Boy Named Sue”

Kidbot? Desecration?!?

It’s cute on one level, but the kidbot mindlessly singing the lyrics with no understanding or nuance is creepy and kind of a desecration of a great song.

It’d be awesome if she stood up at the end and gave the Johnny Cash “live at Folsom” middle-finger salute: http://www.last.fm/music/Johnny+Cash/+images/9711731

“Aren’t ya little young to be shooting men in Reno?” asks @maggiekb1.

Consider Cash’s lyrics:

When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, “Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don’t ever play with guns,”
But I shot a man in Reno,
Just to watch him die.

Clearly, the baby protagonist was not a good boy and, like a child killing bugs, shot the fella to watch him die.

The song is a clarion call for universal preschool and juvenile justice reform.
