Correcting some extremely important reading comprehension aspects on "Judgement Day"' that missed the actual fridge horror


* FridgeHorror: The whole premise of the {{Anvilicious}} EC Comics story ''Judgment Day'', when you think about it. The story is about robots who are divided between those with orange and blue casings, with [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything the orange robots being bigoted against the blue robots, who are treated as second class citizens, even though the only difference is the casings.]] Now then, it is established that the robots have not changed their programming at all since the humans put them on their own planet, so that means that the humans intentionally programmed the robots to be racist.
** Seemingly averted in "And All Through The House" with the radio announcer specifically pointing out that the killer won't hurt children. He may not hurt her, but...she's about to watch her mother get slaughtered by Santa Claus. What's that going to do to her mind?

whole premise of the {{Anvilicious}} EC Comics story ''Judgment Day'', when you think about it. The story is about robots who are divided between those with orange and blue casings, with [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything the orange robots being bigoted against treating the blue robots, who are treated robots as second class citizens, even though the only physical difference is are the casings.]] Now then, it casings]]. It is established that the robots have not changed their programming physical construction at all since the humans put them on - but they ''have'' altered their own planet, so that means that programming, and the humans intentionally programmed the construction process itself. The orange robots are assembled in a bright, well-equiped, and well-maintained factory and uploaded with the most up-to-date and extensive knowledge of their science and culture possible. At the blue robot's factory, on the other hand, we see robots doing their best to be racist.
assemble robots in a dingy factory with worn tools and a clearly damaged Educator that "hasn't the advantages of the 'orange' educator". That is, the discrimination against blue robots begins even before their "birth", and is further entrenched by a visibly broken education system that ensures they are always at a disadvantage to the orange robots.
** Seemingly averted in In "And All Through The House" with House", the radio announcer specifically pointing points out that the killer won't hurt children. He may not hurt her, but...she's about to watch her mother get slaughtered by Santa Claus. What's that going to do to her mind?

* FridgeLogic: (from [[Film/TalesFromTheCrypt the movie]]) If Carl Maitland is stuck reliving the same accident over and over, and Ralph Jason is immortal thanks to his wife's wish, how can the Crypt Keeper send them to Hell? And isn't it kind of redundant to do so anyway?
** It is likely that he was NOT stuck into this and that the second time he died for good. As for Jason it is a plothole though it could be explained by his friend taking the statue and wishing for him to die and rest in peace. The statue wouldn't have to twist the wish at all to make him suffer, all things considered.
