"You are really pissing me off"
"I know I am"

OK that had me laugh out loud.

It looked like the guy's head made solid contact with the ground there. He needs to work on his tumbling technique.

He needs to learn to roll, like the cop in Texas!

(This is hilarious.)

Literally nothing has made me more proud to be an American recently than the Philadelphia Eagles fan who beat the crap out of that stupid-ass whimsical hitchhiking robot. I am being 100% serious. It shows that we still have some of our old fighting spirit left, and there's a reason why Philadelphia is the cradle of liberty. Part of being a real American is saying "fuck you."

The moon landing was great, but that was a lifetime ago.

"Put your seat belt on"
"Put your mouth shut"

Is that some slang I'm not familiar with, or is the OP a little bit wrong?

Huh, 6 is right. America sucks. Still, Philadelphia gets huge points for making such a thing seem plausible.

3. How does destroying the robot stack up next to beating up a mime? (I had a similar reaction to the robot as a have to mimes.)

6 what? Faked? You mean it was staged? Where did you see that? I was hoping it would be the beginning of a movement.

Wait, no, the robot was really destroyed, but a video purporting to show the destruction seems to be a hoax.

It's like you don't even read the comments on this blog.

This is just a couple of streets from me.

"Put your fucking mouth shut." No, that makes no sense in anyone's idiolect. Just a angry man talking bollocks.

The driver got a caution, btw.

http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/a-brief-overanalysis-of-that-road-rage-video-where-that-guy-smashes-his-face-on-a-pavement-606 is funny.

HitchBOT is now hanging out with Kevin Smith. Which, yes HitchBOT is some twee-assed bullshit and Kevin Smith is... whatever Kevin Smith is at this point, but fuck it: go HitchBOT! Just knowing what its existence is doing to that Burneko jackwagon's weeping ulcer is reason enough to root for it.

"Put your fucking mouth shut" is my favourite part, mostly because it reminds me of "No! You're going to have to turn this opportunity YES!" from Sexy Beast.

16:

In case you hadn't seen, Jo/el Gol/by has gone down the same path as various other Vice writers (Os/car Rick/ett for e.g.) in writing occasionally for the Grauniad.

He had an enjoyable column yesterday about the Green Belt.

14 is funny. Not sure why LC is pretending there's such a thing as Canadian national pride.

20: Oh, a country that votes the likes of Harper into power three times in a row has no claims to "pride." I'm not on Team HitchBOT for Canada -- I just love that it annoys some dude who's still writing "U2 sucks" articles in this day and age.

21: Agreed.
