Biometric Robocops Make Landfall in South America

A troupe of Biometric robocops are believed to have made landfall briefly on the southern tip of South America early Thursday, sparking speculation that the technology smashing organisms have found a way off of Antarctica. According to eyewitness testimony, around 6am local time a small sailboat matching the description of the boat Karen sailed to Antarctica made landfall in the fishing village of Ushuaia and several entirely green humanoid organisms lethargically sprinted to other vessels on the dock for the purposes of commandeering them. Local authorities believe that as many as five fishing vessels were taken, as well as several larger pleasure-craft. The alleged biometric robocop boat stealing endeavour took place in under a minute, with the organisms visible on land for only seconds before jumping aboard the nearby boats, making it difficult to tell if it really was a handful of biometric robocops making landfall, or if it was just a gaggle of human boat thieves who painted themselves green to avoid identification.

The eyewitness to the daring early morning hijackings, a fisherman who's eyes are almost completely crusted shut by salt water, says the humanoid organisms moved very stiffly and lethargically, were entirely green from head to toe and looked like they were wearing helmets made of broccoli. Resident Botany Expert Ovaltine Goose-Shredder is certain that the hijackings were the first contact with the biometric robocops. “I mean, no one wears broccoli hats. Any organism would take off something that looked that dumb, so the broccoli hats have to be attached to them. That's how you science out a fact,” he said at a press conference late Thursday. “So the bastards stole Karen's boat, like a jerk would, and used it to get more boats so they can stage a proper invasion of South America. They're putting a fleet together and coming after our smartphones. Called it. Prediction. That's my prediction. Write it down.” Goose-Shredder then yelled, “HEY! You're not WRITING IT DOWN.” and smacked a notepad out of a nearby journalist's hand. Experts are attributing Goose-Shredder's belligerence to the bender he's been on since being confronted with the very realistic theory of his wife's demise last week.

Axel Hjalmar, leader of the resistance group GASP, is also certain that it was the biometric robocops that perpetrated the boat heist in Ushuaia, and was overjoyed that his creations had found a way off Antarctica. “This is a great day for humanity. Finally, the beginning of the end of the reign of Google is dawning, just like how the sun comes up at dawn to signal the start of a new day, every day, but this new day is different than every other new day because when this new day is over, it will mean that Google has been vanquished and GASP has fulfilled it's creed, which may take more than several sunrises and sunsets in actual time, because the horde has to get across the South Atlantic and up the Argentinian peninsula, so when the sun sets tonight Google will not be vanquished but...” The rest of Hjalmar's transmission won't be printed, because in a way it already has, as Hjalmar spent the last ten minutes trying to explain the metaphor he said in the first ten seconds.

In cities across the continent people have been putting up public art projects to show support for Google at the behest of the Preacher Firestone, who called for an arts campaign to promote “submission before the Google” last Thursday. Many acolytes have opted to simply put 20 foot tall blocks of chromed metal in city centres, while others have staged some terrible and heartwarming theatre pieces by playing characters just being really happy to be an electron zipping through the human cosmos. Others are missing the point pretty hard. Rather than taking to heart Firestone's request for a mysterious and compelling art project to horizontally influence people, Local Outragee Sandra has taken to screeching Anti-Hjalmar slogans through a bullhorn right at people who could hear her fine if she was just talking. “Look at the mess Hjalmar made on Antarctica! International war-strikes should be made against him! String a noose in front of the Hague!” Sandra said on a street-corner late Thursday. Hjalmar has called on GASP to start a culture jamming campaign against the Firestone acolyte's public art projects, but so far there hasn't been many takers, causing experts to wonder exactly how dedicated members GASP really are.
