OT: "Randall Cunningham" Beats Hitchhiking Robot "To Death"

[mraynrand]

Poor little guy! Only in the city of "Brotherly Love!" Incidentally, this is what happened to me when I attended a Packer game in Philly in 2004, except I was beaten by the real Randall Cunningham, or so the guy and his six accomplices told me.

I confess, at first I thought it was Aaron Rodgers...

There is a theory that the guy in the jersey is a known prankster with an accomplice who also posted photos of a completely intact HitchBot earlier. People cannot find the security camera that the footage supposedly was taken from.

Theory is it was staged and they are holding the actual robot. I think there is an ad on CraigsList for it. No idea if this is even remotely plausible.
