    I was wondering, is this a new industry term, combining "animated" with 
some other word?  I hadn't heard this usage of "automated" before.

    For a while, I had my TiVo recording "Tripping the Rift" but it's 
painfully un-funny.  (And I have a very forgiving threshhold.)  It's all 
sophomoric (minus the sophistry) sex humor that's probably only funny to 
13-year-olds.  I think the humor was generated by a one-tape Turing machine. 
  Automated indeed.
