From the Licensing International Expo in New York, comes this first look at a poster for MGM’s remake of RoboCop.

I’m not so sure about this guys. Robocop was cool and all, but as cyborgs go, he was always a bit on the lame side. I would have expected that they would have updated the look a bit more. All they did was add a Battlestar Galactica Cylon look. Here’s to hoping we get something superior to the original movies, but with the same kind of weird humor.

Sure, it aint no crystal skull, it’s cooler cuz it’s from a decapitated cyborg. It’s the kind of crap you find when aliens and mad scientists have a yard sale, so you buy it for a few bucks even though you don’t need it. Then you put it on your desk and forget about it, until some asswipe teleports into your room from the year 2134 demanding his shit back and calling you a skullfucker and all kinds of other crap.

At least that’s what happened to me. But I fixed their ass good. I sold the thing to Skynet, or cyberdyne, or whatever the hell it’s called.

Check out this great ad for Panadol Menstrual. It shows a scene that’s all too common in our society. This poor robot has the unenviable task of delivering the premenstrual syndrome medication. Behind the robot are about half a dozen police cruisers and vans for backup. They want to be ready should my wife the woman emerge from the front door.

I still can’t decide if I like the new Terminator series. I’m giving it a chance to find it’s legs. But did the Terminator people rip off the work of an artist without giving them credit? That appears to be the case: some blogs are reporting that the Fox channel’s poster was allegedly copied straight from a montage created by someone else before the series was even announced. Surely they wouldn’t do that? Compare the full NSFW images after the jump.

This shirt was made to look like a Haynes workshop manual. Except it’s for R2 units! It will cost the chic geek $24. Inside you’ll find a bicycle, turntable, a Dalek from Dr. Who, and a dentist’s chair. Proof that R2 has got some weird ass stuff inside of him.

Here’s an awesome Star Wars R2-D2 speaker set. It’s what R2 would look like if he were decapitated in a Highlander movie. They’ll set you back $40.

You will no longer have to talk through a fan to sound like a Dalek. Now you can wear your own Dalek voice changing helmet and send a shiver down your own spine as you annoy the hell out of everyone saying, “EXTERMINATE”. You aren’t going to pass for a Dalek however, since your lower half will be exposed. It might be good to scare someone by hiding behind a large object. It’ll cost you just £40.
