    Philly, you need to reevaluate your life choices if you are a less hospitable city than Boston.

      Or maybe Boston needs to step their game up.

      I’m ashamed of us! Never, in a million years, would I think some dorky robot would make it out of Boston unmolested. Hopefully they find a Yankee’s Suck! tattoo somewhere on its corpse.

    How about making a connection to something that happened in this century at least. That Santa thing was in 1968, seriously, get the fuck over it.

      You have a point. There are lots of historical examples of Philadelphia being terrible, but we’ve really been lacking a solid, modern example.

      And now we have one. Thanks, HitchBot!

      ETA: I don’t actually have anything against Philly, but the last time a made an anti-Philly comment the responses I got were hysterical. Philadelphia, don’t let me down!

      98% of gawker readers wouldn’t even remember the 1970’s let alone 1968.

    As a Philadelphian, I did not find this surprising. However, based on where it was found, I’m willing to bet the perpetrators are a bunch of drunk bros from New Jersey.

      haha, I said the exact same thing. 90% of the crap that happens in old city is from Jersey d-bags.

      At one point there was a hubbub about having “brotherly love” in the slogan because some people thought it sounded “too gay.”

      And then Philly became one of the first cities to specifically target gay tourism with the slogan ‘Get your history straight and your nightlife gay” around the turn of the millennium.

    “Here in America we don’t tolerate that kind of crap, sir!”

    Seriously we indulge in enough twee bullshit right now, I’m glad we drew the line at a Canadian “hitchbot”

      Amen, brother. If we had drawn the line at shops dedicated to the sale of cupcakes, we wouldn’t even have to hear about this stupid hitchbot. Really, everything doesn’t have to always be so cute. Eat a slice of cake. Work on your damn robot in the garage like sensible people.

      So, pretty much the same outcome as every person who tries to hitchhike.

      They never should’ve installed the Fleshlight into its undercarriage.
