Canstruction Vancouver is a Canadian can-sculpting contest, wherein participants create sculptures made entirely of food cans and bottles, which are then donated to the hungry. Still with me? Good. Well, someone made a reclining Optimus Prime, ready to begin cooking himself (or just sitting down reading a cook book, which is kind of weird). I’ve looked all over the Canstruction Vancouver website, but can’t find the artist. Whoever you are?kudos to you, you huge nerd. Kudos to you. (Via PotD)
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.
