THE SPOT
In "Sno-Bot" (:30) a robot salesman wanders through a Staples describing the attributes of various products available at the office superstore to customers. When a customer is interested in buying a scanner/fax/copier machine as a gift, the Sno-Bot says it’s not for sale because he’s in love with the machine. To calm the robot down, the human salesmen find a new "love interest" for the Sno-Bot: a surge protector.
