I never noticed the crappy video on standard def TV, including rainbow. Then I got a job selling video equipment. I saw a movie today with digital projection and it sucks. No one else noticed. Once you see that, you can’t unsee it. ---

Macho, right? > Um, nope it’s a [uterus.](http://www.qualitylogoproducts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/dodge-ram-uterus.png) I have always thought it looked like a diagram of a uterus, and I’m a gay guy who spends very little time thinking about uteris.\* (\*Nothing sounds right, so I’m going with the Latin ablative plural. So wrong it’s right!) ---

> [@kayT](#): > > Hey **Morbo** , did you discover that robot yourself or did someone show it to you? It’s pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. Oh, someone definitely showed it to me. Although I did notice all on my own the London Olympics [logo](http://www.celebitchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/olympiclogoheader.jpg) looking like Lisa Simpson giving Bart a blowjob. Unfortunately as I raced to the Internet with my scoop I discovered I was not the first. 🙂 ---
