Jan 16 2010Okaaaay: Child Riding In Robot Slave Buggy
You ever seen a robot-child pulling a kid around in a rickshaw? Now you have. And I think I speak for all of us when I say, "I want to cut its legs off and steal those glasses".
A creepy kid's ride where they ride other (robot) kids, in the SM City Marikina mall in the Philippines. This is wrong on so many levels, we don't know where to begin.
Damnit, the Philippines. I've already got both hands full(!) keeping Japan's collective robo-boner in check and you go and pull some shit like this. Believe me, you don't want to follow in the footsteps of Japan (except for the worn-panty vending machines -- those things draw hella-tourism).
Thanks to Dj Azer, who would have tripped that kid and stole his wagon.

That child is so lucky. I have longed for a robotic rickshaw slave for many years.

I like how at 0:47 some guy in the audience tries to feed it. :D Conveniently having a bag of robot food on hand. :DD

ROFL I want to do it with a team of cabbage patch kids and cruise around my neighborhood with a whip i one hand and a 16oz Pabst Blue Ribbon in the other.
That would rock.

This is creepy! D: Almost as bad as that weird sheep with the human face.

Once again another example of machines stealing jobs from people. Now excuse me while I strap a kid to the frond of my buggy and take a trip through the town. Faster you ungrateful whelp or I'll use the whip again!

Slavery 101 for our spoiled-brat Filipino kids.
This stupidity is in every mall here in the country.
After 20 years, Filipinos will want real rickshaws in place of jeepneys.

Did I read that right? SM City? WHAT IS GOING ON DOWN THERE?

Kid can't steer for shit
19. Gir - January 17, 2010 8:12 AM
The ride should've come with a whip. *wapish*wapish*
20. Lone Wolf - January 17, 2010 8:57 AM
This is the beginning of the end! When those robot children grow up they will not want to serve us, they will rebel! They will rise up and kill us all! KILL US ALL!
AHHHH! *runs into the street and gets hit by a car*
21. carneios - January 17, 2010 11:00 AM

22. burgerlord - January 17, 2010 11:12 AM

the way it bobs back and forth... is... so ravishing
24. spoodle pop - January 17, 2010 12:26 PM
this kid is a fucking moron, not because he cant steer, but because ha came within 100 yards of a robot, and does not have at least a chain gun.
25. _me - January 17, 2010 12:34 PM
Looks like it's more work than just walking. What's the point?
Long live "The Squirrel"!!!

Good thing the robo-kids are all white so there's no racism implied.
27. Beatiful but bitter. - January 17, 2010 2:06 PM
That's awesome.
28. LOL @ #12 - January 17, 2010 2:58 PM

@27
LOL, when you say white, do you mean Japanese/Chinese/Korean white? or red/pink/light brown people who call themselves white?

You can find these 'jologs' freak rides at every SM Mall in the entire nation. I'm very sure China has something to do with this.
NON-FILIPINO GEEKOLOGIE READERS: Try googling what 'Jologs' is. You'll find that word pretty handy someday.

I...I don't know what to say, I just wanted to let everyone else know that I seen it too..
32. Jiakasuma - January 17, 2010 8:19 PM
