Camel-Riding Robots
misterpies writes "Of the many jobs robots could be put to use, here's one I'll bet not many slashdotters have considered - camel jockeys. According to the BBC, from next year racing camels in the United Arab Emirates will be ridden by robots. And for once, the folks put out of work won't be complaining - mostly children (some as young as four) who are reportedly abducted or sold by their families to unscrupulous racing-camel owners. How long until we see robots take over from humans in other sports?"
Wheeee!
our camel riding robot overlords.
I already see the plot for the sequel to Rambo III a-brewin'
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.

I, for one, welcome our new camel riding... ah, fuck it.
Unlike the Dune Coons, we don't starve or abduct horse jockeys.
Do they know about condoms? Where would they get them from?
I guess they could abstain. What a way to rub it in to the poor and hungry - deny them their chance to fuck.
The mainstream media had this story ages ago. Way to go, slashdot.
That's because we can't enter their mystical parallel realm...
Mother, do you think they'll like this sig?
Chess isn't a sport. A game and a sport are not the same thing. Goodbye to some karma for this one I'm sure.

I WAS sold to an arab for a life of camel racing AND dung collection, you insensitive clod!
You're obviously not quite aware that they hate our freedom. Our glorious leader George W Bush was sent here to deliver us from this evil.
