Glutton for PWNishment

Kittens are so unwieldy and ridiculous, especially after first being born, like there. Some cruel (read between the lines, brilliant) individual seemed to think that planting these wobbly critters on a Roomba might be amusing. Roombas are high tech vacuum cleaners, apparently, just one in a class of robots designed by the iRobot Corporation. Aside from the obvious applications of kitten rides and household cleanliness, iRobot Corporation uses its ingenious technological savvy to create robots for the government as well as various industries. Bomb depositing robots, one might ask?

Indeed, iRobot seems to be PWNing in all directions, whether it be directed toward small, cuddly domesticated mammals or enemies of the first world. The company recently put out a press release boasting that it had recently received a “$7.8 Order for the U.S. Army.” But are these orders for giant, partially intelligent death wreaking machines? On the contrary, according to iRobot Corporation. The order was mainly placed for bomb sensing gadgets to investigate “suspicious objects from greater distances.”

iRobot seems to be looking out not just for “suspicious objects” on our floors but also potentially explosive ones possibly intended for soldiers currently deployed both in “Iraq and Afghanistan.” Interesting how a company finds its niche in the unlikely combination of vacuums for the laziest of the socially mobile and protection for the safety of the world. I, on the other hand, am more concerned about the mass of incindiary kittens on the floor. Clean those critters up, Roomba, and, while you’re at it, secure my nation’s security abroad and in the living room.
