Reporter's Hot Seat: An Interview with Brainiac

Reporter: Hello everyone! I'm Reporter Smurf, and today I'm lucky enough to be at a press conference with the smurfiest, most powerful villain in the universe...His Imperial Majesty, Brainiac! (bows)

Brainiac: (looks at camera) What?

Reporter: I'm going to be interviewing him!

Brainiac: Interview? Me? This is a pointless waste of time.

Reporter: I doubt that Brainiac, I really do.

Brainiac: Fine. If I must.

Reporter: First of all, can you justify your reasons for attacking the smurfs?

Brainiac: I didn't attack them, I was just hanging about.

Reporter: But you caused them damage.

Brainiac: I didn't attack them. I was just hanging about, walking about, you see?

Reporter: It's obvious that you did.

Brainiac: I didn't attack them.

Reporter: Yes you did Brainiac, I know you did.

Brainiac: I did not attack them. I had to destroy a species, they were polluting the Earth. I had to eliminate them before they killed us all. It would have been bad for all of us. So I did not attack them, I just had to remove them.

Reporter: So basically, you're admitting to criminal damage?

Brainiac: Reporter, it was not a crime. I was doing something I had to do. I needed to kill the smurfs. They were bringing disgrace upon the human race. Something had to be done, and I was the smurf to do it.

Reporter: Even if they were, that's no excuse to go and hurt someone Brainiac. It's not right.

Brainiac: If you are going to be biased, then you can get out of. OK? If you are going to be biased here, I am going to throw you out. Reporter: I have to report this, it's my job.

Brainiac: You are not doing your job by being biased.

Reporter: I don't think you understand, Brainiac. Being 'biased' is putting across an unfair opinion of something
