No No No No No: Humanoid Flies First Class

No No No No No: Humanoid Flies First Class

This robo-jerk, the same one who tried creating a Facebook profile to infiltrate the Geekologie Fan Page , is now flying around in the first class section of airplanes . BAD IDEA. Travellers on a recent Emirates flight from Dubai to Riyadh were accompanied by a different type of passenger, after the Dubai-based airline was tasked with transporting one of the world’s most advanced humanoid robots. Able to verbally interact with people, Ibn Sina stunned fellow passengers as he was checked in at Emirates’ dedicated First Class check-in counters and relaxed in Emirates’ First Class lounge prior to boarding his flight. The transportation of Ibn Sina required countless hours of planning and input from multiple Emirates Group departments to ensure the humanoid was cleared for travel by the Dubai Police Authorities, the Dubai International Airport and Emirates’ safety team. Uh, could you really not just stuff him in a box and mail him to his destination set it on fire? And how come I can’t even use my cassette player advanced media device during taxi and take-off and this BEEP BOOP BOPPING jerk can fly? OH GOD — PLEASE TELL ME HE DIDN’T GET COMPLIMENTARY BEVERAGE SERVICE.

Are You Out Of Your Damn Mind?  Alternatively: Oh Helllllllll No: A Needle Wielding, Blood Sucking Robot

Are You Out Of Your Damn Mind? Alternatively: Oh Helllllllll No: A Needle Wielding, Blood Sucking Robot

Can you count the number of things wrong in the picture above? If you answered, “every single one”, congratulations, you are correct. You see, Bloodbot is a robot designed to stab you with a needle . And I think we can all agree: that is exactly NOT what Jesus would do. The robot consists of an arm with a needle and a probe. In order to find an accessible vein, the robot probes around your arm until it finds an area of flesh that is a little bit less squishy than the rest. Then it jabs you with a needle, and when it feels a little pop indicating that it’s punched through into a vein, it knows to stop the jabbage, lest it go right through the other side of your vein, out the back of your arm, and into your femoral artery, causing a massive amount of hemorrhaging that will no doubt kill you in minutes. So far, the robot is accurate about 78% of the time. Hell no. Helllllllllll no. I don’t care if it’s accurate 110% of the time, no robot is getting anywhere near these precious, alcohol filled veins with a needle. I’d rather stab myself in the heart with a cannonball. And not just because I’m a pirate, but I do love booty. Seriously — back that thang up, wench! Bloodbot Stabs You Like A Pro [botjunkie] Thanks to Spikey DaPikey, who once stabbed a robot in the eye with a syringe full of acid and made it melt from the inside out. Nice, Spikey, I like your style.

Anti-Paparazzi Bag Flashes Bulb, Not Privates

Anti-Paparazzi Bag Flashes Bulb, Not Privates

Some guy named Adam Harvey designed an anti-paparazzi purse that, when the flashbulbs of the photogs go off, immediately flashes it’s own bulb back, ruining their pictures and effectively protecting your privates from showing up on TheSuperficial . Obviously, it’s a terrible idea. Terribly terrible. Right up there with the current public decency laws. IT’S HOT OUTSIDE, GIMME A BREAK. Also, a rub-down with that lotion ;). Seriously, I need you to SP my F. Anti-paparazzi device flashes lewd photographers right back [dvice] Thanks to FDSY, whose anti-paparazzi device looks a lot more like a sock full of quarters.

‘Royal Kill’ Producers Elated by Film’s Awfulness

‘Royal Kill’ Producers Elated by Film’s Awfulness

Know what’s fun? When a production company tries to sell its film by reminding us of its unstoppable awfulness . It’ doesn’t happen all that often, but yesterday I received an email from the production company behind a new action flm called Royal Kill — and the email was basically a miniature press release about a powerfully negative Washington Post review of Royal Kill . (The film was shot in D.C., which probably explains why it opened — and got reviewed — there). I’ll include the rest of the awesome press release after the jump, but here’s the gist: According to the IMDb, Royal Kill packs a cast list that includes Eric Roberts , ” Lalaine ,” Wrestlemania’s Gail Kim , and the late Pat Morita as “exhibition manager.” Apparently it’s just a really rotten low-budget action flick, and Dan Zak’s Post review certainly doesn’t inspire a lot of interest, but to get a publicity release that’s sort of proud of the critical bashing? Now that’s weird. But hey, whatever helps you land a home video deal, right? After the jump, take note of how the hard-working publicist tries to assert that “bad movie” automatically qualifies you for Ed Wood-style cult status. Ha. Punishment gluttons, here’s the Royal Kill website !

Shii, The Controversial Wii For Her

NOTE : Video is NSFW at the end. This is a foreign commercial for the Shii, a Wii for her. It’s wrong on every level and the games are all super-sexist. Which I 100% don’t approve of, except for the cooking and cleaning ones, which seemed alright. Oh, and the last one. But besides those it’s an awful concept. And sexist. Which, again, I don’t approve of. Ladies? Shii : enfin une Wii pour les femmes! [dailymotion] Thanks to VS, who once threw a Wiimote through the glass ceiling.
