NononoNo!  You people have got it wrong.
The Borg ain't stupid (whoops I meant ISn't stupid),
when they assimilate a new culture, they first test to see if it's any
good, if it is, then and only then will  they incorporate it
into their technology.  If it was bad, they would just dump it
and maybe put a footnote in some database about avoiding it.

Assimilating Macross

Minmei:	Lalalalal.... <croak>
/* A Borg grabs her throat to stop her singing */

Borg:	NOTICE: sonic emmissions from target appear to be highly
	disrtuptive to INTELLIGENT being's higher mental functions.
	Three Borg have been stunned by sensory overload before
	Borg unit 4-] used sonic dampeners and neutralized target.
	Quarantine this data flow from general Borg processes.
	Erase and completely restore fallen Borg's memory banks	from
	previous archives.  Start assimilating data into weapon research.

	
Assimilating C-ko

C-ko:	Hi there!  My name is C-ko, here, have some snacks!

The first Borg tries some of her sashimi and rolls over.

Borg:	Warning!  Warning!  Borg unit 1-@ has been in contact with
	highly toxic substance.
	Send fallen Borg into the Energy Source Lab.
	Priliminary scans indicate target is of no other use than
	creating highly toxic substances from non-volitile components.
	Begin dissection.....

[ Skip scenes of the Borg preforming a live autopsy ]


Assimilating Hikaru

Hikaru:  No!  Help!  Lemme go!  Darling!  Madoka-san, help!!!!

Borg:	Biological lifeform is totally useless.
	Object is too bratty and annoying.  Dispatch immediately.
	Logging notice into anime assimilation format to avoid all
	brainless whining female species.
	Investigate Darling-entity and Madoka-san-Entity for possible
	new additions for assimilating higher lifeforms.


Assimilating Kyousuke

Kyousuke:  What!?  Who are you guys..... Help!
	   The Power has no effect on them... Ayukawa!!!

Borg:	Another lifeform devoid of any use to the Borg.
	Most aspects of the target is irrelevent.  However 
	preliminary contact has indicated a new energy form known
	as E.S.P. power being generated by the target.
	Another reference to the Madoka-figure in memory lobes.
	Possiblily a completely higher life form to assimilate.
	According to existing data on the Madoka-entity,
	most of the denizens seem to be completely devoted or
	dependent on this figure.
	Priority given to investigating the entity....

Madoka:	What do you think you're doing to my friends?!

Borg:	Alert!  In contact with Madoka-entity.  Transmitting all
	video images, data and stats on the target....

[ Unfortunately  they're accessing information about Madoka that
  is based heavily on Kyosuke's perceptions, including some of
  his more "fonder" memories of her...]

All Borg in unison:
	We have encountered the highest lifeform.
	We are in the prescence of greatness.
	We're not worthy!  We're not worthy!	We're not worthy!....

The Main Borg Central can't stop the data flow simply because,
no Borg wants it to stop, they all want more!

Then as every Borg now starts dumping most of their core Borg memory
to make room for Madoka Gifs, and each unit starts shifting in place and 
trying to access geographic databases to find her phonenumber,
the Borg Collective starts to dissolve as millions of KOR fans
all over the world sleep easier.
