Jon Haddock’s “Don’t Tase Me Bro” automata

    Actually it was built in March 2008, fairly in sync with that viral video, thereby contributing to public response in a whole new grotesque way. Too old news now.

      I think this trivialises a serious event. Done in poor taste. Must all news now be caricatured in order to reach the masses?
