Not at all surprised. Most Americans are bastards. We really are an awful, ornery lot a :bolt:.

He wasn't murdered, he uh...TRIPPED!  Yes, yes.  Tripped.  :D


Honestly, I'm surprised he lasted 12 HOURS, let alone days. :noid

Was it found on the side of the road on cinder blocks?

No surprise in Philly, would expect the same in Detroit or East St Louis. Next one should have a remote self destruct for vandals

The robot was a social experiment.
Now we know that Philadelphians, unlike most of the western world, will not feel empathy for a robot that collects information on your location just because someone put a smiley face on it.
Which only means that Philadelphia will be one of the last cities to fall to the robots (or will it just be targeted first?).
It passed the test.

Philadelphia threw snowballs at Santa Claus.  Some hippie hitchhiking robot doesn't stand a chance.
