Jul 2 2009Stupid Robots Can't Even Sing Happy Birthday
In honor of Canada Day yesterday and the 4th on Saturday, this is a video of three Wiffle-ball headed robots trying to sing happy birthday and failing so hard I almost felt bad. Almost. Just watch and listen. Did you hear that? It sounded like the one on the left was singing "die die die". IT NEARS!
Robots Sing Happy Birthday to UK Science Museum [robots.net] (who will be receiving a nasty email)
Thanks to Crimsonfox, who used to be Fusciafox until he painted himself to have better luck sneaking into the henhouse.

oom-tiss oom-tiss oom-tiss (my best techno impression)
I just don't get it, if we have robots that can ltierally run through our viens and zap a tomor, why the eff does anyone give anything more than two shiites about some lame arse robots that sit around and do a circle jerk...This vid will even make GFS hate robots, maybe just a little?

Nope. Still like them. Robots are not the problem. It's their programmers.

Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

Mr. GW, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into b(r)easts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.

i want her to recomend another movie today!
22. Daisy - July 2, 2009 1:14 PM
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 waiting in a boxers apartment to kill him if he returned. He needed to take a crap, and was reading a book when the boxer came in and found Max's gun on the kitchen counter. It was the last crap he ever took.

a little autotune on the mix and call it a record
24. Manuel - July 2, 2009 1:42 PM

So disappointed.
25. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - July 2, 2009 1:56 PM
@24
It's a good movie.

So, where do the robots send their robot royalty check to the copyright holders of the "Happy Birthday Song"?
Why do you think they sing those stupid "Happy Happy Birthday, Happy Happy to You" or whatever the f*ck song it is at Applebee's....
27. Jaded Icon - July 2, 2009 3:07 PM
Luckily there are certain songs that can't have copyrights or they have expired. Happy B-day is one of them. (I think)
28. Nate - July 2, 2009 7:16 PM
Sounded like they were singing ghost robots. At that realization, I shit myself.
29. HTK - July 2, 2009 7:20 PM
It sounds more like a death song than anything else

Those are some crappy robots, but you have to admit- their singing is kinda cute. Maybe they were made for the soul purpose of crappily singing Happy Birthday?
