INTERNET STATEMENT, by altemark., used under a Creative Commons license

Dammit internet, I do love you. But there’s no talking to you. You simply will not listen to reason. God knows I’ve tried, internet, but you just won’t.

It’s not just me, either. Everybody knows it. Even Flickr knows it, and Flickr’s usually all about defending your unreasonable ass.

You’re running out of friends, internet. Pretty soon it’ll just be you, 4chan and porn, all sitting around staring at each other.

Don’t come crying to me when that day comes, internet. You had your chance.

Flickr’s “blog this” feature makes it way too easy to do stuff like this. There are over nine million images available under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license. a quick search for “robots” yields over six thousand results. The fourth from the top is this.

Paul Keller’s original caption reads thusly:

“Fortune telling robot on the sidewalk opposite Russel market in Bangalore. Passers-by can have their fortune told by the robot in four different languages: Tamil, Hindi, Maharati & Kannada.”

Nine million free images to play with? Oooh, I’m gonna have too much fun with this. [rubs hands and cackles]
