What we'd really like is a Bender webcam, or a Fry webcam, or a Professor webcam, or a Robot Devil webcam, or a Scruffy webcam—pretty much anything from the Futurama universe. I guess what we're trying to say is that Futurama rules and should not have been cancelled. [
This life-sized model of Bender hides a secret inside, and it's not a hatred of humanity. No, that's no secret. This Bender is also a beer brewer. And you thought Bender couldn't get any cooler.
