    I’m sure the title is wrong but I cn’t decide if it should be
    Insectoid Centaur Barbie Fighting Robot
    or
    Fighting Centaur Barbie Insectoid Robot

    “In response to rumors circulating the internet on sites such as FoxNews.com, FastCompany.com and CNET News about a “flesh eating” robot project, Mario Caicedo Langer would like to set the record straight: This robot is strictly vegetarian.”

    I believe the correct title should be Fighting Insectoid Centaur Barbie Robot. Although who are we to rename the creator’s work of art.

    So I only saw the headline at first and thought it meant an insectoid centaur fighting a Barbie robot. Needless to say I am somewhat disappointed. Pretty weird looking though.

    Barbie wasn’t scary enough already?

    How subversive and original! A creepy barbie! What’s next? Zombie Mickey Mouse? We’re entering a brave new world of razor-sharp satire …

    Is this close enough?

    You knew exactly what GIS terms to use for that, didn’t you?

      Yeah. I’ve always been bitter that she lived. I wanted Johnny Rico to hook up with Zander Barcalow.

    $400? damn, i need to get back to work on my barbie mutilations. i could use an influx of cash.
    that’s nice work though. i don’t think i would have been able to resist making it light up though.

  • sculptedpixel

    @#10 – that’s $400,000 – other countries use the . instead of the , – so yea, start working on it stat!
