Nah – This was a proper (not real) robot. At least No. 5 from Short Circuit had a frikkin laser. Pay attention Brian. You may not get kidnapped so often if you had one.

Hardly likely you’ll get the aforementioned glove puppet being offered, but I’m only surprised it hasn’t sunk to these depths.
After enduring yet another episode in the ad-saga from confooosed dot coom for a free Brian toy, I do wonder what the giddy fuck is wrong with consumers. Adult consumers. That need to be enticed by free toys?
From the proliferation of this tactic with other companies, there is obviously an audience for it.
It seems adults need to be bribed with children’s toys to buy insurance… why?

I really, really fail to get it. So with all sincerity: Get ye gone Brian. And Churchill dog. And that Meerkat.  Off to the landfill ye novelty objects. And that’s possibly the worst aspect of this. The earth’s resouces dug up, assembled by cheap labour in a far off land, transported across the globe in containers by ships burning heavy oil, to be driven by a van to an address, so it can be opened, looked at briefly, and then make its final journey from dusty ornament to land fill waste.Great use of resources. Maybe in the future, when I see such items on Antiques Roadshow as I’m sat in my hover wheelchair in a pool of my own piss and shit waiting in the queue  to be euthanized by a robot in order to do my bit by not taking any of the shrinking pension pot, I’ll take it all back.
