Just realised there was an avenue that, as far as I know, hasn't been explored yet, so I got together H(e)x's sweet little body, had a photoshoot with rocket lamp, and sent some images to adminSPLATMbilf.biz, like it suggests on the pictures page. Check it:


Fantastic =)

Haven't seen this mentioned in the forum yet-

http://www.godhatesrobots.org

Apparently Pastor Ned Ludd and his congregation at D.I.C.S. Church fear that God will smite mankind for its sinful robosexual perversions. Plus, they hate dogs. If you're of the same mind, they've got signs you can use to go picket.

Oh my . . . that's fantastic. How did you find it?

If anyone didn't already know, Ned Ludd is the name of a quasi-mythical English folk hero who, after destroying two stocking frames in a fit of proletarian rage, became the inspitation for the early 19th century Luddite movement, which campaigned agains the mechanisation and deskilling of trades.

--

I realised I hadn't just done a Google trawl yet; I discovered that there's a Facebook page for the blog I don't think anyone's mentioned, and also that Tim is a Media Studies MA.

--

Had a nice chat with Tim and O11iver on the phone last night (they thought H(e)x's accent was cute!), but got too nervous to ask burning questions! But I worked them in via an e-mail, and got a couple of interesting bits of information:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"The commercial we shot for inactiveware was just a commercial, trying to drum up a little business. The problem is, we got a friend of our, Tobor the 808th Man, to write the jingle, and before Tobor started performing music, he spent a lot of time processing calculations for NASA. So, almost everything he writes, and actually a lot of the conversations we have with him end up with him doing a lot of numerics and on the fly calculations like that. We certainly didn't tell him to add up all the numbers, but I think he was just trying to write a memorable jingle so that potential customers could remember my phone number. That's all."


I feel like that's a pretty strong hint to just leave the inactivewear commercial be for now. Damn!

And also:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

As for MBILF, we haven't really heard from them since they offered to sponsor the blog. They sent us some promo stuff, but we actually already gave a lot of it away. We sent something to a guy in Arizona [...] It's actually kinda nice, other than asking us to put the banner on Must Love Robots, they haven't really hassled us much, we just cash the checks and call it a day.


So it looks like we're in a bit of limbo on that until Timetobuzzthetower returns on Wedneday. Blast!

No response on H(e)x's hot pics yet.

And good luck Rowan!

According to the Tweets, the date was going well until someone started to give them trouble and they had to leave. That's too bad. Sad

Wonder who @therealstrifey is? Their name is Princess Puddingpops and they only have one tweet, directed at Rowan.

ETA: New photos up on Tim's Flickr of O11iver waiting for Rowan. Really cute.

Haha, don't worry about strifey, he's not IG or anything. You wouldn't know him unless you lurk in IRC more Smile

I just hope the interruption was supposed to happen, and really wasn't some random guy Confused

Also, those images of 011iver waiting are awesome Very Happy

The first time I saw that godhatesrobots site was when rowan mentioned it via twitter, yesterday or the day before, I don't remember right now. I think she said she saw it in the related tab in youtube while seeing one of 011iver videos.

Yep. I first saw it after Rowan mentioned it in chat. The video on their site does indeed come up as a related video when watching some of the 'Must Love Robots' stuff.

Also... it looks like someone going by "P.L." made a call in to Ram Savage, and got some helpful advice =)
