Feb 22 2009Selling Candy In Human Vending Machines
Kit-Kat, tired of me reaching my hand up through the door at the bottom and stealing their candy, has decided to call in the big guns: namely, human vending machines.
Don't expect these things to pop up on every street corner though; they are part of the 'Working Like a Machine' campaign that's being run by Kit Kat to show how people need a break from the monotony of day to day life.
The idea was stolen from Japan like everything else that is awesome in the world and makes me want to stick my hand up in a machine more than ever. Whatever, human vending machines need love too.

Thanks to Martyn, who once punched through the glass of a vending machine and stole a Snickers. Then I threatened to tell on him and ate the bar myself. It was the best one I've ever had.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was learning martial arts from Arnold, and he taught him to paint a fence, wax a car and sand a floor. Later when it came time to fight Arnold told him I'm a lover not a fighter, but thanks for fixing up my house and car.

Couldn't the dude that's handing out the candy steal some!? It would just totally delete the purpose of it in the first place. And what if he's some creeper, and he puts poison into it?!

@11: Talk to Watch. Your whining about Daisy only fuels the fire...and soon you'll be pointing out which movie she's really referencing.

I'm curious about the pay. Can you really afford to be picky in this economic climate?

So this is just like my 7-11 where a guy stands behind a bullet proof glass and hands me my Kit Kat.

I have no issue communicating without the use of profanity. Quite frankly, the english language offers much more colorful adjectives. The point being made is simply that in this country, where this blog is hosted, we have freedom of speech. The same freedom of speech that would protect this blogger (GW) in court. I find it rather disingenuous of him to post NSFW content and genitalia jokes, then censor our comments about them.

The hole above the Dollar intake........... I guess that would be the name..... Well any way it kinda looks like a spot to put your dick in..... If you have one that is.

@21: If your dick can fit in that, you've got some issues...and I pity you...
