“In response to rumors circulating the internet on sites such as FoxNews.com, FastCompany.com and CNET News about a â€œflesh eatingâ€ 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.

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

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