Ok, listen up folks, we have some very sad news to announce from South Korea: the legendary Ever-2 Muse robot cancelled her appearance at the RoboWorld 2006 in Seoul. All we know is that this singing humanoid suffered some version of electronic stage fright and was unable to perform as planned, leaving legions of shocked and angered Korean fanboys to start chucking kim chee at the stage (ok, we made that last part up). We have no further details at this point, but if you were there or if your Korean skills are better than ours, then please do drop us a line. Until we find out exactly happened, we're going to recommend that the Ever-2 Muse probably get some pointers from that Japanese stagebot we spied a few days ago to avoid similar disasters in the future.

Apparently, an electric cable inside her neck was broken accidentally while she was being carried around. Poor thing.
dang, don't they know how to handle a fragile human female?
Don't you mean Cylon?
It would've been even hilarious if they really threw Kimchi instead of Kim Chee... really it would..
Every time this story comes up all I think about is those days of going to Chuckie Cheeses with the little Mechanical rat singing on stage. Oh Goodtimes Goodtimes.
I think it drank some Coka~Cola and committed suicide.
Maybe she didn't want to appear in that 70's Florence Henderson Brady Bunch hairstyle.
Now the machines are getting scared? Oh God Google is going to become self-aware in 2020. We're all dead.
The truth: Her mag-lev crashed in uncanny valley.
ok we all know the "broken wire" is a cover up for the real damage caused the night before by some horny nerd who was entrusted with her. damn robo-sexuals!
I-robot is coming!!! The difference being that instead of silver/gray robots, We'll be fighting life-like Datas! I can see us in 13yrs (2020) being overtaken by androids that look just like hu-mans. Scary thought huh?
And yes I bet the "broken-wire" was a crazed fan the night before who wished to see how realistic the scientists made "her".
