They clearly have far too much time on their hands, and have clearly decided that being productive with that time is not on the ToDo list.

eesh, I love the part about these going where beggars can't.

Like these beeping blurping annoyances won't be banned too? Only now you loose the "pity" factor that garners so many donations.

The article comments - "... shopping malls - where it is forbidden to beg... at least for people."

Then at the end of the article you discover the project was - "... supported by the Ministry of Culture and the Municipality of Ljubljana - Culture Department." Which seems like just one government agency poking fun at another.

Then when business gets slow I'll have my new Robosapien walk over and knock him down while RoboPet pees on him.
