OK Community, we need a name:

Remember all those times you had to debug an issue with a bot? That's this guy. It's a bad bot. It's constantly misbehaving, messing up your automations and giving you headaches.
What would you call it?

Okay, I like all of the names proposed so far, but I think it should be something simple and generally innocuous.  I would like to suggest 'Bob'.  Being a Bob, myself, I know that we tend to take the blame for a lot of things outside of our control.  After all, Bob is not really a bad Bot, he was just developed that way.

Also, as child of late-mid-20th century schooling here in the States, I can see this whole campaign done in the style of the safety films that they used to show us in class (think any of the "Red Asphalt" series, or "Stop, Drop, and Roll").  

INTRO:  The music begins--a generally, upbeat but minialist orchestral score.  The video has a strong film grain effect, with prominent scratches.  The  camera opens on a largish-1960's cartoon city.  It starts zooming in to find Bob laying in the middle of the sidewalk, other functioning Bots trying to make their way around him.  As the camera finishes zooming in on Bob, the narrator (practially pulled from a 1950's TV game show), begins.

NARRATOR:  Meet Bob.  Bob is a Bad Bot.   You might think that Bob being bad would only affect [editor: effect?] his performance.  But no.  Bob being bad affects [editor: yeah, pretty sure affect] the bots around him, and the Developers assigned to support Bob and all of the other Bots.  But Bob did not start out trying to be be bad.  Bob came into being with the same hopes and aspirations of all of the other Bots--to be helpful and productive... To make a difference.  Let's take a look at what we can do to make Bob a better bot.

Okay, enough fun for the morning.

Enjoy,

Red
