Tiffany "New York" Pollard: Bot or Not?

After touching on the robotic nature of Daisy from Rock of Love II, I began to wonder about another runner-up on a hit VH1 reality dating show: New York, who lost in both Flavor of Love seasons one and two. The similarities between New York and Daisy are striking: they both have as much or more plastic surgery than known bot Lil' Kim, they both almost won reality dating shows in attempts to infiltrate influential B-list celebrities, and, most tellingly, they are insane. As far as I know, humans don't act the way New York does. I mean there's not really much I need to say to prove my point. If you're not convinced, you should watch this academic documentary on its behavior. This one is so a bot: the plastic surgery to look human, the irrational behavior of something that doesn't understand the nuances of human society, and its ceaseless attempts to become a true celebribot show New York's true nature. Tiffany Pollard: ROBOT.
