did Russian police really detain a robot named promo bot at a political event near Moscow let's examine the evidence first off the news story was published on a generic Facebook news page called Facebook news wire huge red flag right there then the post says to contact promo bot via Facebook for further video usage requests and links back to the original posted video which happens to be on the promo bots Facebook page that's kind of fishy now let's examine promo promo bot is a promotional humanoid robot equipped with screens for either promoting products services and events or to conduct surveys among crowds of humans promo bot can also record video testimonials take pictures of people and print them out and according to the promo bot website promo bot remembers everyone in this case the promo bot was surveying potential voters at a political rally now after doing some extensive digging on the Internet it turns out that promo bot is a professional at promoting itself and getting press coverage just two months ago promo bot was in the news for escaping from its lab the video of promo bot running wild in the streets trying to escape the police went viral in Russia and earned promo bot some really good press so is this whole promo bot on the loose causing a ruckus in Russia all just an elaborate publicity stunt are these Russian police officers even real police officers is Perla bot a trump Trojan horse for Putin or are we all just pawns in the International promo bot promotional machine you be the judge for now I'm saying free promo body
