View Full Version : Hitchhiking robot, gets beheaded in Philadelphia
HitchBOT, the hitchhiking robot, gets beheaded in Philadelphia
(CNN)—This is why we can't have nice hitchhiking robots.
HitchBOT, the cheerful hitchhiking robot that had made cross-country trips across Canada, the Netherlands and Germany, had intended to travel across the United States as well. Instead, it survived all of 300 miles on the mean streets of the U.S.A.
Two weeks after beginning its U.S. trip in Boston, the robot was vandalized in Philadelphia, the team overseeing the robot said in a statement.
"HitchBOT's trip came to an end last night in Philadelphia after having spent a little over two weeks hitchhiking and visiting sites in Boston, Salem, Gloucester, Marblehead, and New York City," the hitchBOT "family" said on its website. "Unfortunately, hitchBOT was vandalized overnight in Philadelphia; sometimes bad things happen to good robots."

At least he wasn't shot! :D

That white thug was simply taking out a little pent up microagression.
Seriously though, I'm actually surprised the robot didn't get vandalized or stolen sooner than it did. Pleasantly surprised.

All that disaffected kid needs is a job....and to not wear a Cunningham jersey in July.....and to put his "straight brim" hat on properly. It's our fault.

Not really surprised at all.
The solicitation for a ride, commonly known as ''hitchhiking,'' is addressed by Pennsylvania state law in accordance with section 601.11 effective October 30, 1992. Draw your own conclusions. IMHO, Frauke Zeller and David Harris Smith should be held accountable for the criminal negligence of Hitchbot.
…what parent does that?
…seriously – what parent encourages their kid to hitchhike?
Why not just buy him a crack pipe and send him to Detroit?
Hitchbot was likely exposed to illicit drug use, alcohol abuse, and lord only knows what type of shenanigans goes on at those rest areas and truck stops littering the US highway system.
I am trying to think up a witty "Robot Lives Matter" type of phrase.
Hitch not your Bot!

It's obvious to even a blind person that all indicators point towards an axis of evil with the centre of gravity being the Dallas Cowboys clearly infiltrated by ISIS.
This is obviously a false flag, deceptive PsyOp designed to undermine the Philadelphia Eagles, Eagles fans, and America itself(hello….Bald Eagle = America).
And it's plain as day that it could only be the ISIS infiltrated Dallas Cowboys organisation due to historic rivalry, recent pathetic performance and jealousy by the Cowboys, and ISIS-like robot beheading TTPs utilised.
The entire Dallas Cowboys organisation should be charged as enemy combatants and immediately waterboarded.

BINGO!! We should call for an investigation of Tom Brady and the NE Patriot organization too as likely co-conspirators. Belichek does wear a hoody ya know! :D
