Russia's Got a Terminator Thing, Y'all

I'll be back. Slowly and safely.

Russia dropped a robot bombshell yesterday by releasing video of something with a plastic head in a bomber jacket riding an ATV. We don't know its name yet but here's what we do know. 1) It's being heralded as a "robot avatar" which means it's controlled remotely by someone whose parents told him video games were a dead end in life. 2) It refused to go anywhere until someone put its "cool dude" jacket on. 3) It appears to be extremely cautious.

Bad news everyone. I've just received word that disguised Russian robotic avatars are already operating inside the US.

Just a quick side note here to Vladamir Putin. You should see our robot, dude. It's terrifying.
