The Horrors of Technology on Display in The Middle East

Do you, Husna, take Aazad, in richness and in poorness, poorness is underlined, in impotence and in potence, in quiet solitude or blasting across the alkali flats in a camel-powered, robot-navigated...and it goes on like this...

Yes camel racing has entered the 21st century. 100% Injury Rate has found that the sport that once used kids of 4 or 5 years of age to jockey camels to the finish line has replaced them with...robots. Thats right, robots. See?

Not pretty is it? I encourage you to click on their page for Youtubes and the full story on this madness. I'm just a bit jealous we didn't find this bit of obscurity ourselves. The Deuce has been slacking in the odd-sports department lately. Our shame is real. Kudos Injury Rate, job well done.
