I think this is cool... 

 

... but assume magenta folks and John will have too much fun with this.

Who cares what the flamingo king and his minions jibjab on twitter about? When all else fails to be a punchline, are they gonna make fun of our shade of yellow? Id rather not be a self hating Legere sycophant

Flamingo King? I love it! That's better than my Pink Pied Piper reference. I'm stealing it!

I'm not digging the "Labor Efficiency" that Masa Son is proposing....Robots replacing humans in jobs....won't be a good thing....for the economy....

Its inevitable. Robots are efficient, don't talk back, and can work 24/7 without break. Maybe I'll go into the robot repair business...

It could be "labor efficiency."  Alternatively, when Japanese businessmen get all excited over robots, it could mean sexbots.

This is pretty neat, I'm scared to know what the price tag is on him though.

 

They should market this to the "forever alone" people. I could see it now, walking down the sidewalk holding hands with your "robot friend."

From watching that press conference, Son said about 198,000 yen which is equivalent to about $1,884.00. FYI.

Maybe Pepper can take over for a certain managed services company that Sprint contracted with a few years back.

Wow,  if his hair recedes anymore there will be room for a couple of panels on there.  At least that way he might help alleviate at least one of their many coverage gaps.
