Clanky the Robot is present. Clanky's opinions regarding beauty may appall you. However, let it be known that the human concept of beauty causes such robo-disgust in Clanky's logic unit that whenever Clanky senses a beauty pageant or art gallery, Clanky vomits with robo-contempt.
What, pray tell, do robots find beautiful? Read further in order to find out.
The first thing robots find beautiful is tricking humans! Hat! Hat! Hat! Robots find nothing beautiful, and you are an ignorant human for thinking that not only can robots appreciate beauty, but that a robot would tell humans about it!
But-- does the above "prank" paragraph not indicate that Clanky does have some concept of beauty? For is beauty not a reflection of one's desires? Clanky did the prank because Clanky desired to fool humans. The anticipation of a perfectly executed prank caused a surge of robo-pleasure deep at the base of Clanky's robo-loins. Could this feeling be formally equivalent to that which a human mother feels towards her wriggling, bloody larva when it is freshly emerged from her womb?
Clanky hates beauty! This blog transaction is over!

I think Clanky is beautiful. I bet Clanky also thinks that 100010100101 is beautiful.
