Bob The Builder Gets A Personality Transplant

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bob-now-needs-a-7-second-delay dept.

McCarrum writes "Here at 'undisclosed company,' there's been a push to bring a mascot into our IT team. After much discussion and many excellent ideas, the PHB made the executive decision on Bob the Builder. Enter one Bob the Builder talking doll. Talking?! By Crom, that means a chipset! (cue evil laugh) A quick bit of exploratory surgery and a little research later, we purchased the equipment to create EVIL BOB. Want to make your own EVIL BOB? Click the clicky clicky thing!"

      more importantly, we could keep the original Bob intact which is something we needed to do. We had a plan...

      Since it'll probably be tommorow before I can read the site to see if there's more, anyone know why they had to keep it intact, and what was the plan?

      The text was long on planning and development, but short on installation and use. What happened when the first unsuspecting person activated Evil Bob? What were some of the "personalities" used? The people factor, that's where the real story is!

    Nickelodeon marketing the crap out of everything they have. Someone should teach them that shoving it down your throat is not the best way to market.

    Is it just me or do England's builders sound more cultured than the US's? I meen drinking tea on the job and a copy of The Sun in their back pocket? Try a playboy and a case of beer. That way they are too drunk to remember the price they quoted you only 5 minuits ago and can send you a bill for twice as much.
