http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/hitchbot-destroyed-in-philadelphia-ending-u-s-tour-1.3177098?cmp=rss A hitchhiking robot that captured the hearts of fans worldwide met its demise in the U.S. The Canadian researchers who created hitchBOT as a social experiment say someone in Philadelphia damaged the robot beyond repair on Saturday, ending its brief American tour. The robot was trying to travel cross-country after successfully hitchhiking across Canada last year and parts of Europe. It set out from Marblehead, Massachusetts, two weeks ago in July with the goal of reaching San Francisco, but never made it off the East Coast. The creators were sent an image of the vandalized robot but cannot track its location because the battery is dead. They say they don't know who destroyed it or why. But co-creator Frauke Zeller says many children who adored the robot are now heartbroken. Let's be honest; if the Robot had ended up in any of the shit parts of Europe without anyone looking after it the result would be the same. Glasgow, certain parts of London, Liverpool, Birmingham, etc. Hell, drop it off on the motorway near a pikey encampment... Robot Dag? |

Killadelphia!
Was there doing a job about two years ago, two critters robbed and killed jewelry store owner three doors down on Rising Sun. If I remember correctly he got one before expiring, almost got picked up crossing the street for a piece of pizza, but i'm white, so they let me go, the black dude with me got taken downtown for getting shitty with the cops. But we were walking thru a murder scene, so I tried to quiet him down, we were in the wrong, if hungry. Death? Philly? Meh, a man's gotta eat... |

If they had painted hitchbot a darker color, then no one would care he was destroyed, unless a white guy did the deed, then the justice department would be investigating for a possible hate crime!

Those comments are hilarious, "a redneck with a gun got it".
Shows how far left Canada is. I heard their "conservative" head troop leader guy going on about how no Canadian should worry, Canada would never have United States style constitutional gun rights. No first amendment there either. |

Liberal delusion syndrome is in full effect there. It's virtually impossible to find a set of comments that doesn't end up blaming Harper for eating babies or something, even if the article is completely unrelated to politics. Tragically these people are set to form the government in a few months. |

I bet the robots final ride was driving through Philly, telling the robot "I really don't think I should drop you off here, lets go a little outside of this neighborhood", and the robot was angrily responding "Don't be ridiculous- I can't believe what you're implying about this section of town!" |
