First Round: Robots (8) vs. Donda West (9)





ROBOTS

Seed: 8

Overview: Robots have come a long way. There was a time when they were only in the movies. They now help us with a number of tasks. (I don't trust them though.)

Pros: Are said to work harder, better, faster, and stronger than their human counterparts. As far as I can tell they don't die.

Cons: It has been said that they are dead inside. They don't look as cool as you might imagine (see picture.)

Outlook: The future is bright for robots. If Terminator is to be trusted they should be a heavy contender for this title by 2011. For the moment they will try and pick up some much needed tournament experience and a win over the lifeless Donda West before meeting an all-out juggernaut in The Dude.




DONDA WEST

Seed: 9

Overview: Donda West is the former chair of the English department at Chicago State University. When her son hit it big as a rapper/producer she quit her job and Kanye started buying her stuff. Then she wrote a book. Then she up and died and her son made everybody cry at the Grammys for a few minutes before they went back to bitching about how conceited he is.

Pros: Good grammar. According to sources, she never put no man over her son. Known to inspire xylophone-driven music that sounds vaguely reminiscent of "The Boxer."

Cons: Dead.

Outlook: Donda has an upbeat attitude and a great son, but it may not be enough for her to overcome the fact that she is not alive.
