Human Cyborg: McDonald’s Employees Assaulted Me For Wearing My Gear

[vta]

No shirt. No shoes. No augmented reality glasses. No service. Earlier this month, human cyborg and University of Toronto Professor Steve Mann, claims he was brutalized and kicked out of a Paris McDonald’s after employees objected to his headset and its ability to record photos and videos of his experiences.

According to Mann, after he and his family had received their food and taken a seat by the entrance, another McDonald’s employee, whom Mann refers to as Perpetrator 1, approached and angrily tried to pull the EyeTap, which is permanently attached and cannot be removed without tools, off of his head.

A group on Reddit had more than 2,000 comments as of this writing. Sci-fi blog io9 even described the alleged attack as "the world's first cybernetic hate crime."

Even the French recognize the weirdly ridiculousness idiosyncrasies of the French, sometimes.

Why would the people working at the McDonalds be so upset? This makes no sense.

Because they don't want video of them picking their nose and adding what comes out as special sauce on the Big Macs they are making to show up on Youtube.

I mean I wouldn't assault the guy, but I hate being filmed or even having my picture taken without my permission.

Don't walk around with a camera recording everything, and there's no problem here.

Taken a bit of a set-back in his acting career, true enough. The real concern is: What's in YOUR wallet, Yeag? :laugh2:
