Dec 29 200850-Foot Asimo To Lead Rose Bowl Parade
Honda is rocking out with their robot out January 1st at the Tournament of Roses on January 1st in Pasadena, California. That's right, a 50-foot likeness of Asimo, the harbinger of our destruction, will lead the parade along with a Honda FCX Clarity (fuel cell car). Be sure to tune in and watch the giant robotic bastard go rogue and start stomping dancers and bystanders. Which, I think we can all agree, will make for some awesome freaking television.
Hit the jump for two more pictures, including one of construction.

Thanks to Riker, who will be as far away from Pasadena as possible on January 1st.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tellits a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like the scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max had to sneak into New York City to rescue the president of the US when air force 1 crashed, and the president was taken prisoner by the duke of new york who by all accounts is A number 1.
They ended up escaping in a taxi cab with Quentin McHale.

PS - Goddamn it that dancer in brown is a f***ing piece of ass. I'd make her scream twice, once when I busted a nut inside her, and once when I wiped my cock on her drapes.
I'm such a f***ing poet.

I want to make out with all the girls in that top picture. That's the only good thingI have to say about this.

Man, it feels great to have done my part - warning mankind of the impending destruction and all. Thanks for taking me seriously; CNN laughed in my face when I sent this tip to them...

This reminds me of a scene from the movie Tender Dracula. Dracula goes for a memory of a lifetime and finds out he is really a drunken overdubbed french make up artist. After a short ride in a taxi driven by a 50-foot Asimo, he takes a ship to Mars and starts the reactor.

#14 - I totally recall that part. It might not be the movie tender dracula though. If it wasn't, I'm drawing a total blank when i try to recall the right name.
My favorite scene in the movie Tender Dracula is the scene where an overdubbed French makeup artist builds a BBQ pit under Dracula's coffin. When Dracula retires for his evening rest, the coffin is turned into a smoker, and by morning dracula is tender indeed. He is served with corn bread and Slaw.

@15 - Awesome.

I thought that the only place Asimo was actually in use was the crappy little Innoventions exhibit at Disneyland. Considering that nobody goes into Innoventions, no one will even recognize the giant robot harbinger of doom.

I think Honda is a pretty cool guy. Eh builds fifty foot asimo and doesn't afraid of anything.
