Creepy robots surrender to the Japanese
September 8th, 2009 by James
A creepy scene of robots discussing surrender to Japan:
“In Singapore’s Fort Canning Park is an old WWII bunker that was repurposed a decade or two ago as a tourist attraction. They installed a number of lifelike animatronic British generals so visitors could experience what it must have been like as they deliberated surrendering to the Japanese. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like they’ve oiled their robots in a while…”

Pretty accurate depiction, I’d say.
Keep a stiff upper lip, eh what?
I agree. A lot of our generals were like that for the first few years of the war.
That is one of the funniest things I’ve seen on here. The one ‘robot’ looks like it’s having some sort of weird seizure.
LOL I think the one fella is having a stroke!
Wow. I’ve walked past that place a few times and never gone in to check it out. This seals the deal. Definitely gonna have a look now!
This video will haunt me in my sleep. Forever.
Urgh what a horrible way to be remembered… as a crappy robot.
