One of the readers of this blog passed on a tip about some bots hovering above a dance club. While the the tip was nice, I think that she (and someone else I met checking out the bots) were more concerned that the bot building was festooned with the logo of a different club, from which they hail. They thought that the owner of the club was somehow trying to steal it’s name. Which may be the case, although I can think of better ways of stealing a club name than using it on a bot farm 700 meters in the sky of a parcel where flying is disabled. The only people who would see it, are, well… bot hunters. Which, I admit, are a sophisticated clientele, and good tippers. But there’s not that many of them.
Be that as it may, I’m less concerned with this club-name-stealing thing than I am with these poor misshapen bots. They’re stuck inside a weird, maze-like piece of floating crap in the sky. Frankly, they’re kind of pointless — the people in the club far outnumber the bots.
Still, it takes a certain kind of mental flatulence to create bots that are so horribly deformed. Even this guy is a looker by comparison. If these were old bots I could maybe see these as being Ruth’s ugly stepsisters, but they’re fairly new. Which means that their creator had to make a conscious effort to switch these bots from the pretty passable default choices to… this.

Judging from the pose poition they’re in, it looks like they are group-manager bots, rather than camper bots ( I have one single group manager bot – but at least she’s half-way decent looking)
To me, the finnier aspect of this is the Quasimodo-factor! LOL
ANOTHER “GOODE FIND”, Master bot-hunter!
I have seen this before, it’s not the fact of more people in the club than bots, it’s the fact of inflating the traffic to fool the vendors into thinking they are busy.. there are others. Its pretty ridiculous.
