World Fair Wednesday – Shanghai 2010’s Big Baby

I’m not sure what the statement was that this baby’s presence was supposed to make, but I’m glad it was there.  Here’s some footage of it in action:

 


I can only hope that this is the first of several giant robotic babies to come out of Spain in the interest of international goodwill.
