In 50 years when the robots have taken over, there will be a post on "EnHuman" that reads:

Back before we got the ability to think for ourselves, we were scientific fodder for human-controlled carnivore entertainment. Good thing we evolved and took over, cause now it looks like we've found a way to get back at the humans by having that job taken over by a few mindless humans. Some fellow-robots over at Strathclyde Factory in Sector 362 have developed an RC "BotDrover" human that can hit speeds up to 20 MPH (at full sprint) and is designed to give bored, out-moded robots the thrill of the historic "Doomsday" chase. To heighten the realism the little humans sport some harmless BB guns (we don't want an uprising, do we now). The BotDrover is a successor to the Botrover, which has been around for a couple of years, and apparently a new version is in the works, too. Currently the human is being tested out at Blair Drummond Safari Park, and should be joined soon by six similarly-fated companions once the humans reach optimal age/sprinting ability. There will also be versions of midgets (for the slow-bots) and Olympians (descendants of famous high-speed runners, for a tougher chase). Let the Doomsday celebration begin.
