The road to Hell is paved by good intention. Panasonic is releasing a device that is guaranteed to be abused and bastardize as soon as it hits stateside. The “Robot-Bed” has to be dreamed up by a Transformer or Power Ranger fan because this bed shifts into a wheel chair with a touch of a button. It’s original intent is to help the mobility-impaired get around but for sure if I had the money this “lazy-@$%#” machine would replace my office chair and bed. Even with the good intentions Panasonic may finally just push us over the edge and accept becoming the obese pleasure zombies that were shown in Wall-E. The Robot-Bed also functions has a built in “home network” which allows you to watch TV, check security cameras, and operate home appliances. Now if this fat bastard making machine had a way to deliver Hot Pockets from the microwave I’d consider pre-ordering one now. The robot is said to make an appearance at Tokyo Big Sight expo from September 29 to October 1 without any clue when this will be released. Until then I will continue to scarf down Big Macs with my super sized cola. So how about that health care reform?
