In the future, some of us may have trouble blending in with the robots.

This guy had a small booth on the venice boardwalk. He sat quietly, holding a cardboard sign that read "Giant Robot".

I went to take a picture and he covered his face. I gave him a dollar and he stood up, (6'4", easily 300 lbs) gave me one look, and went back to his original position.

He was not so much robotic as he was IMPOSSIBLE to miss...pink elephant: redefined.
