(hint)sum good ,I know that not all who didnt help aren't bad they were confused or just didnt care. but he didnt do it to prove that either just proved that most of all americans are to stupid realize that something so innocent can be extremely deadly you should know youre into robots.
I am amazed at how cynical a human being could be, and am hoping you are confused or didn't read the article. (It's short. Might take two minutes)

TWEENBOTS

Basically the writer took "robots" (toys, really) attached with post card that wrote their intended final destination. The robots are not radio-controlled. They only go in straight lines. So it would take the help of New Yorkers to get the robots to where they need to go. Sounds like an easy way to lose some toys, right.

No, in every case, the robots made their way from the helpful assistance of the seemingly busy and "arrogant" Americans living in New York.

Naturally not EVERY single person who saw the robot helped them, but enough did that not a single robot didn't complete it's mission. The robots were not screaming for help, but just puttering down the sidewalk.



With the help of 29 different individuals one robot made it across Washington Square Park.



There were no TV cameras and no rewards, just unrelated people turning a little toy in the right direction.

Your mistake, skitty, is making the leap in logic that those that didn't help the robots were "bad". How you come up with the logic of your last line makes me want to buy you a one way ticket out of America and see if you can find your way back.
