« I did my part, America... | So re! »

Now all we need is a Mom-and-apple-pie trebuchet...

From an Associated Press article on Yahoo! News:

"In a trailblazing pairing of robotics and tractor companies, iRobot and John Deere announced plans Monday to build a 9-foot-long semi-autonomous battlefield vehicle.

"Burlington-based iRobot Corp. will adapt the artificial intelligence technology used in its Roomba vacuums and portable PackBot military robots for a two-seat John Deere utility vehicle similar to ones the Pentagon already uses." (emphases added)

Having seen "Team America: World Police" a few days ago, I know exactly what song will be blaring from this conceptual vehicle's speakers as it lays down indiscriminate smack on foreign civilians and combatants alike. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about. If not, I'd hate to spoil it for you.
