pseydtonne: Behold the Operator, speaking into a 1930s headset with its large mouthpiece. (Default)

My roomie insisted on terrifying me this evening. His cruelty can only be cured by paying forward. What you are about to see is a real link from a real company whose name is inches [livejournal.com profile] hakamadare's old email address:

In case you can't see the creepy sketch: a robot with arms shaped like hard traffic cones is placing an amputee into a king sized bed.

No, I didn't fake this. This is a proposed extra application for a robot called, shyte you naught, BEAR. Why is this perverted robot called Bear? It's an acronym with an extra significance: his shiny white head has bumps on the top to make him look vaguely like a teddy bear.

Note the docile smile on the amputee's face. He looks like a cow person about to get an oxygen mask in a flight safety manual. Note there is no wheelchair for this amputee, but he still has one good arm to balance himself in the robot's cradling pods. What happens when he gets up? Does BEAR also gas him to death or does he use those arm pods to bash his skull during the night?

Would our amputee be so happy if the robot didn't have a teddy bear's head? If the ears were bigger and he had a cassette deck, would he be the life-sized Teddy Ruxpin all plushies dream about? What if he had really big ears, buttons on his pants and a doofus grin? Potential lawsuit. Never mind.

Anyone else notice the amputee is being placed on one side of a bed made for two but there is also a pillow setting for another person? This amputee doesn't have a loved one to put him in bed but he's got a swinger's bed. This leaves us with one other option for those arm pods and a well-lubricated robot already bending him into a good fisting position.

Kibo also proposed the caption "Bear needs spare parts". That hints the robot wants to tote this dude around. The robot is built to traverse horrid battlefield conditions. I suspect he'll go Marvin fast and only get the spare parts from our once overly eager Marine if they'll be bone jewelry.

Unrelated subject for discussion: I tried again after nearly a decade but I still don't like Monopuff's It's Fun to Steal. It's just kinda limp and grating. "Creepy" (the opening track) is okay and the third track is also tolerable. That damn song "Pretty Fly" makes me want to claw my ears or the discordant singers' larynges. It's coming out of the iPod tonight before I accidentally hear it again on shuffle.

-I'll bet you didn't know the plural for larynx before (except for [livejournal.com profile] dobrovolets and [livejournal.com profile] moominmolly), Ps/d
