 My lasting impression of 217 (for years now) has been based on how their robot looks, dynamically. It is poultry in motion. :) - Richard Wallace [more] |

segway on crank yankers
i was watching crank yankers on comedy central...a skit about a nun answering an add in the paper and at the end of the sketch she got on a segway and rolled away....running over someone on her way,
i just find it interesting that segways are poping up in different media these days

Re: segway on crank yankers
There are two obvious things here: The Segway is definitley in and Dean Kamen is a Genius. I have seen segways in the OK movie Paycheck, in a rap video (I forget which one it was, and there is a thread about that), at Robotics Competitions (obviously), and [hopefully] in my house after January 2005.

Re: segway on crank yankers
Siegfrid (sp?) and Roy on the new prime time animated feature Father of the Pride, rode Segways to the 7 11.

I don't think I'll look at catnip the same ever agian... It's a good/funny/clean show. They clap twice and 2 segways appear out of left field. Good stuff for Segway!

Re: segway on crank yankers
I don't remember what show I was watching but I definitely jumped up and got all excited when I saw it. It was also in some recent movie. And yeah, I saw them in the Father of the Pride series. It's really cool to see something that we've all been excited about from the get-go suddenly get huge like this.
I know my non-FIRST friends have even started recognizing them. It's like a whole new scientific revolution

Re: segway on crank yankers
I'll give 'Father of the Pride' about a few more episodes before it's pulled. The combination low raitings (for a comedy NBC show), high price per show (over $2.2 million, or the price of two episodes of 'Family Guy'), and an overall lack of quality (the show has not faired well with reviewers).
Anyway, I think all exposure for the Segway will be great, even if it isn't in the best light. Anyone think we might see Segways on Queer Eye?
