So where do we apply for a grant to get Matty there a sense of humor?

Besides, looks like everyone involved really just got some free publicity...

@Padster123: You might want to look at the article I linked to.

And yes, that story had THE MOST AWESOME LEAD EVER.

"What began as a financial dispute over a foreclosure on a horse farm ended with a robot shooting a turnip Thursday afternoon."

Well, from the other local paper, the law office had received strange things from this disgruntled individual before:

"So when GiaQuinta's legal assistant called him to say a box had come from the man, GiaQuinta said he was nervous about having her open it. “He told her to call the police because the guy's a psycho,” said Leroy Williams, the firm's office manager."

Which led to:

"At 5:59 p.m., Rob [the robot] opened fire with a 12-guage shotgun blast, then sprayed the box with a water cannon. “That's a hell of a turnip,” Joyner said as he inspected the drenched and bullet-damaged vegetable after Rob had done his duty."

Hey, it's not like the bomb-droid gets used a lot in this town, we needed the practice?

LEFT GUARD: You must have saved up a bundle by now, huh?
RIGHT GUARD: That I have, mate. That I have.
LEFT GUARD: Well you must be savin' up for a reason, eh?
RIGHT GUARD: Yup, yup. I've had my eye on a turnip for quite a while now.
LEFT GUARD: A TURNIP!?
RIGHT GUARD: Well not just any turnip! The world's biggest turnip!
LEFT GUARD: So then what? Turnip soup for everyone?
RIGHT GUARD: No! You don't just EAT the biggest turnip in the world!
LEFT GUARD: Uh, so... do you make a wish on in?
RIGHT GUARD: [pause] Now that's just plain silly.

Although I would think the temptation to go with the free Streisandeffectvertising would be almost to hard to resist.

"Hey Kids! Your teachers HATE this game! Wanna play it?"

"...and life skills training games for young adults..."

Wait, isn't that what those hentai/dating sim games are for? Or are they somehow unrealistic?!

Noes!

"The plane crash disaster has been removed as a result of 9/11."

Oh, frakkin' please.

All the more incentive to put it back in, and make it even worse.

I want to like Gawker, except their odd comments "auditioning" policy gets in the way.

Are the collectors allowed to curse?

Why not just buy the whole bike while you're at it?
