Sarah snapped these pics of this extremely creepy Farmers Market simulacrum on display in the entrance to the Kroger’s near us.
“Hey, people seem to really like these ‘farmers’ markets.’ Let’s arrange our sterile fruits and veggies imported from South America, Australia, etc and present it all as the produce raised by a disturbing robot/Cylon ‘farmer’! All we need are some wrap-around shades, overalls, and a flannel shirt.”
OMG! That’s going to scare the crap out of innocent little kids going shopping with mom or dad. hehe, too freaking weird!
This is the Uncanny Valley in full effect.
