I've never had the "uncanny valley" feeling while watching a human before!

You really, really need to start listening to the Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, talk.

Sorry if this sounds like a cheap political shot, as I'm normally a Labor party supporter, but she honestly is like an overprogrammed, overcoached politician.

To be fair, it's to make sure that his soundbyted message appears in the media regardless of which little snippet of the interview is used.

I've yet to see a more egregious and brazen example of a politician refusing to answer a question than Jeremy Paxman's 1997 Newsnight interview with Michael Howard. [1]

Paxman asked the same question 12 times and 12 times it was dodged and avoided.
