Japanese Vending Machine Robot

Coca-Cola has a new promotion in Tokyo featuring a giant robotic Coke machine know as “Vending Machine Red” that is making appearances around town. It has been a big hit with the culturally obsessive Otaku. As part of the campaign, Coke has created a great series of Vending Machine Red commercials, done in the style of a 1960’s Japanese Tokusatsu live-action television show.

1st Episode – “Go! Vending Machine Red!”

2nd Episode – “Take the most important supplies!”

3rd Episode – “Afternoon Blues”

Hey is that same Coke company that allows death squads to kill off labor activists in Colombia. Cute robot though, maybe they will have one for South America or India that will crush little children who try to choose pepsi or god forbid water instead! Or one that will come to your house and provide the whole family with insulin shots.

Sorry to be such a pest about higher intelligence, but hey Squid yur not getting into product placement article$ for corporate bottom feeders are u ??!

India already chose Pepsi. Sorry Coca-Cola is too cool for you, Mumbley Peg, but maybe you could find comfort in the fact that you can stick to overpriced bottled water and ‘fair trade’ moch-chino-not-quite-a-cafe-latte.
