Um, Yeah, Maybe Get Somebody Else To Make It Next Time: Paper Mâché Pikachu Fail

That’s not even Pikachu , that’s a stoned -ass Garfield with no stripes after eating a whole pan of lasagna (LOL — he loves that stuff!). Oh — and to the maker: there comes in a time in your life when you realize your own limitations and focus on working within them. That time was well before you made this. Just sayin’. Hit the jump for an equally questionable Sonic.

WTF WAS THAT?!: A Robotic Britney Spears

This is a video of a dancing robot girl that was shot (the footage, not the robot — unfortunately) during the very disturbing (and fundamentally wrong) ROBO-ONE GATE Dance Competition. A dancing robot competition? Really? That’s it, I’m heading to the moon . The 6th ROBO-ONE GATE IN INTERNATIONAL ROBOT EXHIBITION 2009 Dance Competiton spons took place in Tokyo Big Sight, during INTERNATIONAL ROBOT EXHIBITION 2009 , on Nov. 28th, 2009. `LOVE & JOY, Yuhi Kimura` by Doka Harumi (Doka Project). No one survived the performance. Jesus, this is the shit nightmares are made of. You know, the kind you wake up from with a full load. And don’t even act like it’s never happened, it’s happened . I ran into your mom at the grocery store! Doka Harumi’s robot dance routine fills us with shame for humanity, but mostly Japan [engadget] Thanks to Mycropht, who once danced with a robot BUT ONLY TO GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO PLANT THE C4. Good lookin’, Micropht.

Wrong, Just Plain Wrong: Two Robots Kissing

Listen, as long as you’re human I firmly believe you should be able to kiss and have relations and relationships with whoever you want (provided they feel the same about you). I don’t care if you’re black, brown, yellow, blue, red, white, clear, striped, dotted, Canadian, from Australia , have food allergies, are bi, straight, gay or super gay, I say go for it. Robots, not so much. Robots should all burn in a fire. Video: The first (televised) kiss between robots [engadget] Thanks to Xavier, Mr. Robbot, Peterman, Joe Mamma, 3d, Kenneth and Captain Awesome, who swear they’ve never tried kissing themselves in the mirror and are all terrible liars.

No, No, No: Japanese Killer Construction Bot

No, No, No: Japanese Killer Construction Bot

Wow, they’re not even trying to make them look cute anymore. The Japanese born ROBOTOPS is a construction robot whose name is spelled in all caps because IT MEANS BUSINESS. The killing business. The four-legged, two-armed robot is actually a kind of automated mobile crane with 29 functioning joints for picking off humans, and of course the occasional piece of construction material. Using a high quality three-chip CCD camera, the robot can be operated remotely for particularly dangerous jobs. And no, I didn’t alter that quote at all. Finally, people are starting to get the picture. It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one that sees a problem here. Seriously, Japan — you know I love you (manga, sushi, worn panty vending machines), but this shit has got to stop. Because if not, well, Godzilla . Just sayin’, we share a special bond (read: intercourse). Japanese construction firm unleashes insectoid robot crane on humanity [dvice] Thanks to cougar78, Aaron and John, who know the only good robots are the little guys from Batteries Not Included . Am I right? No, that was a test and you all failed.

Baaaaad Idea: Cheap Terminator Costumes

Baaaaad Idea: Cheap Terminator Costumes

Just in time for the new movie , Toys-Я-Us is selling $13 T-600 (looks more like a T-6 if you ask me) costumes for children. I mean, it’s not even Halloween . You let your kid run around the neighborhood with this thing on and it’s game over, man! Wait, that was Alien . Anyway, the costumes were made to compliment the rest of the crap they’re marketing to children under 13 who shouldn’t even be allowed to see the movie. Just sayin’, my dad took me to see the original Terminator when I was 4. It all makes sense now, doesn’t it? Product Site Thanks to Reason, who makes perfect sense.

Uh-Oh: Doctor Claims He Can Clone Humans

Uh-Oh: Doctor Claims He Can Clone Humans

Just look at all those cute little babies. Really makes you consider wearing a condom next time, doesn’t it? Yeah it does. Anyway, Dr. Panayiotis Zavos, a controversial fertility doctor, claims he’s gonna be cloning humans within two years. [The] doctor has claimed he cloned 14 human embryos and transferred 11 of them into women’s wombs. Dr Panayiotis Zavos carried out the work at a secret laboratory thought to be in the Middle East. “Dr Zavos saw vigorous growth in 30 cell embryos before he transferred them into the womb and that is why he is optimistic that a human clone baby will be born within two years,” he said. “This has reached an advanced stage and is potentially a viable form of infertility treatment.” The article goes on to discuss the ethics of a woman who wants her 10-year old daughter, who died in a car crash, cloned. Which, wow, sounds like the worst idea I’ve heard all morning. Seriously — and I had an offer to go play in traffic. No, when it comes to cloning, there’s one very simple rule: dinosaurs only. Could Cloning Bring Dead Girl Back To Life? [skynews] Thanks to jigga, Thumperchica and Christina, who all want GW clones but I told them no. I’ve seen Multiplicity ! Okay, I haven’t — but I did see the commercial where the dumb one tries to stick pizza in his wallet.

Japanese Man Builds Giant Robotic Beetle

Why? I don’t know why. Why do people build any kind of robot ? Exactly, because they’re stupid idiots . Designed and built by an Ibaraki man in his garage over the course of eleven years, the “Kabutom MX-03″ looks like a prop from a Power Rangers spin-off but is an actual working vehicle. Shaped like a kabuto-mushi (rhinocerous beetle, a favorite design of Japanese toymakers and, uh, candymakers), it can be remote controlled or piloted from the cockpit (visible on the left side), and is capable of carrying passengers inside its shell. First of all, eleven years ? Some poor bastard pissed away more than a decade building what I’m going to destroy in an alcohol-fueled afternoon? That’s almost enough to bring a tear to my eye. Almost , but not really because 1. we don’t grieve for robot sympathizers and 2. I don’t cry anyways (aliens stole my tear ducts). Also, who the hell is gonna crawl into a giant robotic beetle’s shell? That’s like asking someone to jump into a volcano, but far less like a giant hot tub. Also, I apologize to anyone who watched the whole video. I meant to tell you to just skip around earlier. Youtube via Giant Japanese beetle robot [japanprobe] Thanks to Ross, Shelley, NuffSaid, bum master and Matt, all of whom would crush that thing like a bug. You know, if they were 50-feet tall. But they’re not, so we’re going with napalm.
