Even though the trailer for Michael Sullivan's unfinished techno-punk epic "The Sex Life of Robots" had been sitting on YouTube servers for nearly a year, it went mostly unnoticed until a couple of weeks ago when some old-fashioned interwebs publicity got the buzz machine rolling. This sudden surge in interest vaulted the clip up YouTube's popularity rankings and so the video giant responded the only way they know how—they pulled it. Too nasty for those sensitive Google-y eyes, you see. Oh, and did we mention ... the actors are frickin' robots!? Fortunately, Sullivan didn't seem too upset when we ran into him at the Museum of Sex anniversary bash and he took the time to talk to us about his friendly mechanical creations and his, um ... interesting plans for the spectacular sequel.
