Best Swag Ever: The Cylon Toaster
Ignore the other shit on this ad of things NBC is selling at SDCC (and on the NBC.com store starting July 18) and concentrate solely on the Battlestar Galactica Cylon toaster, which does indeed burn an image of everyone’s favorite genocidal robots right on your toast It’s a part of a delicious breakfast for humans and skinjobs alike! There’s no word on the price, but somehow, I doubt that’s going to matter that much to BSG toast enthusiasts. (Via Wired)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
