A Moment of Topless Robot Self-Pleasure: Happy Birthday to Me

I can scarcely believe it, but Topless Robot is 1-year-old today. It was waaaay back in January 7th, 2008, that I spent my first full day posting (although I had seeded the site with a few premature articles prior to that, it’s a problem I’m working on). There was no Daily List, no Fan Fiction Friday, almost no art used, no comments on any of the articles, and most of all, I had clearly had no idea what the fuck I was doing other (now I know, and am just too lazy to care).

I thank all of you who have stopped by TR on a regular basis and especially those people who comment, even if it’s just to call me an idiot. I understand. We’re nerds. We all get unreasonable about our favorite series–myself included, if you’ve seen any of the Masters of the Universe coverage around here–so I don’t begrudge anybody from getting pissed. But hopefully, you’ve also seen that we’re all huge, huge nerds here ourselves, and we’re simply trying to help everyone remember how silly it is to get worked up over toys or comics or videogames or whatever. Except for the G.I. Joe movie, of course, cause that shit looks horrible.

I’ll do my best to continue during 2009, but if you have any suggestions, throw ’em in the comments below. My spelling and punctuation will not improve, sadly, as much as we’d all like it to. As a gift, I’ll leave you all with this commercial, which actually features a Topless Robot in it (safe for work; few topless robots have nipples):

It’s apparently a commercial for the German electronics store chain Saturn, but the car company Saturn might as well just use it themselves. I’d buy anything from a company who ran this masterpiece on TV.
