On May 1, guests at Shanghai's Expo 2010 will encounter a giant, cooing robo-baby built by the special-effects artists behind Alien vs. Predator. Is this ankle-biting abomination China's new superweapon? After watching this monstrosity in motion, we vote "yes" unequivocally. Miguelín the 21-foot baby was created by Isabel Coixet of Spain. Even though Miguelín could be the next step in Spanish national defense, we instead (and totally uninformedly) choose to believe that this is the opening salvo in some baby-themed Cold War, complete with diaper-bombs and death rattles. Next thing you know, Gerber will be selling fatigues and Pedialyte will be laced with Old Grand-Dad to take life's edge off. |
