Ken Tanaka is a Robot

Got this in my in-box this morning:

I was asked to make a video using my Flip Ultra HD Video for a possible art museum show in California. All the video installations have to be made using this tiny, cell-phone sized camera. This was my first time trying to make a short film instead of a vlog, an it was very fun to make it. My budget was $0. The short is called I am robot ( 僕はロボットだ) and it’s about me and a robot. It also stars my friends Raideen and Great Mazinga. Do you like Robots?

I hope you will check it out,
Your pal,
Ken

Yes, Ken, I like robots.

Dude THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FAKE but is well done.

He is a Canadian comedian.

I am sorry for those people that I destroyed their dreams that he is a western boy that was grown up in Japan.

His real name is :
David Ury

I didn’t have the guts to hit the HD button.

I liked the elephant stuffed toy the most about this clip. Ken himself may feel like he is a robot but to me he is just a robot wannabe with a camera.
