A swanky bar owner in Atlanta is so upset about some people having less than him that he's built a robot to attack those who have less than him.
He calls it the "BumBot", and he uses it to harass the homeless. The robot is a meat smoker on wheels armed with a bright light, loudspeaker, camera, and water pistol. The man uses a remote control to send the 400-pound contraption tooling down the street and tearing up the pavement.
And if homeless people don't vamoose, the squirt gun is deployed.
You know that's assault, don't you?
I guarantee you that if I was walking down a public sidewalk and this robot began bothering me, I'd kick the thing clean down the street. It's going to be uproarious when someone does just that.
On the other hand, maybe this robot should inspire us to build one of our own to help protest against the cult I've been demonstrating against. That way, if we can't make it to a protest, we can send the robot in our place.
I'm serious about this. If I knew how to build a robot, I might consider constructing one for this purpose!

Oh come on now Tim, you know this Bumbot is hilarious. A squirt gun isn't going to hurt anyone. If someone were charged with assault for shooting somebody with a squirt gun the Online Lunchpail would be the first to ridicule the "right-wing" cop who made that charge.
ReplyDeleteI still think we need to get some life sized cardboard cut outs, paste our faces on them and put signs in them to use at our protests.
ReplyDeleteSince when are fanatics allowed to call themselves "conservative" or "right wing"? The old Republicans are gone and zealots have taken their place. But the Dems don't get off that easy, there's plenty of fanaticism going on in that party too. The robot should be equipped with a fanato-meter that squirts fanatics that listen to Rush limbaugh and his a.m. clones. It should also have a feature that seperates the truth from the lies that is spewed over the a.m. airwaves every week day. I wonder when the Dems are going to start their own "lie to the public radio" like the so-called Repubs.
