Zombie karaoke Elvis-bot

The proprietor of the "I am Not Lying" blog took these photos of a smashed up Sharper Image karaoke Elvis-bot his friend found in Brooklyn.

It looks much better this way than it does out of the box, don't you think? Link

State-of-the-art technologies animate Aliveâ„¢ ElvisÂ® so he looks, feels, sounds and moves like “The King.”

Feels??

Awesome photo. The original Elvisbot looks terrible! Like one of the reviewers says: “looks more like K.D. Lang than Elvis.”

Stay out of Priscilla’s dumpster!

The out of the box one looks like a c*nt.

Make it sing slayer songs…please!

Duality,

In what context are you using the word ‘cunt’, or as you so clandestinely put it, ‘c*nt’? Female genitalia, female person, male person whom you don’t like? Please clarify, because I’m entranced.

His questionable terminology aside, Duality is right that this sort of device is rife for hacking or circuit bending. Bring it to Graceland and start fights. Rig it to overheat and melt like the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Make it sing Abba. Y’know, fuck with people.

ZOMG! John Stamos is an android! Run for your life!

The “Alive” mode makes Elvis come to life â€” “checking you out and talking you up.”

Wow… Do they make a Angelina Jolie version?

Duality is right about the thing’s hackability, but I’m doubting s/he/it has ever seen a c*nt.
