How to get linked to Chelsea Clinton’s website

First you start a website called “Tacky Raccoons.”  Then, while under duress to make a late post, you find an amusing story about a guy in China who wants to make a robot-likeness of Hillary Clinton.  Then while trying to be clever and funny you accidentally misreport the story, claiming that the Chinese guy has made a Chelseabot.

The following day, you notice that a new website has thrown you some traffic, so you click on the link, only to find this:

So you scroll to the bottom and discover that you’re now world famous, and that you knocked Wonkette off the preferred status list on Chelsea’s Blog.

Now I’ve got nothing against Chelsea Clinton.  As far as I can tell she’s completely innocent of wrongdoing, except for having an automated blog that she doesn’t run.

China Reverse-Engineers Chelsea Clinton

chinabot_tetherd-cow-ahead_090105

Beijing, China (Strutts New Services) – On Thursday, the People’s Republic of China revealed that they have perfected an audio-animatronic version of Ex-President Clinton’s daughter Chelsea.

On conditions of anonymity, Chelsea Clinton responded, “Eeew. That’s not me. That’s like my Mom, you dork. Like ‘DUH.'”

The robot giggles incoherently, serves tea, and pets the servants when directed, exactly like her mama does, but without the head butts.

The animatron correctly responds to up to ten questions with pre-programmed responses.  These responses include, “I don’t remember,” “I don’t recall,”  “Are you serious?” and “GTF out of this office.”

Since Phil posted a TW vid, here’s a reposte.  Tom Waits never sings the same song the same way twice.

One of the prettiest songs ever sung.  Oh Yeah.

Specious country living at its best.  Surrounded by woodlands and meadows, this economical residence provides all the rustic utilities you look for in a pristine rural setting.  Campfires every night!  Far from the bustling city, the lot provides ample opportunities for pursuing both game and fish, and has sanitary facilities adjacent to the creek a mere 150 yards away.  You’ll never have to mow the grass again.
