Let's be real for a
minute: Just because you put "not" in front of something doesn't
really mean it is not that thing.
While Borat is still
working on his ability in this area, The Boring Company is
handing out its Not-A-Flamethrowers to
faithful customers who are eager to get there hands on them. Pick-up parties,
as they're being called, started in Los
Angeles a few weeks back, and there was one in Washington D.C. on Saturday.
Alarm bells are ringing
after the D.C. event, however, with kids and dogs appearing in more than a few photos
posted on The Boring Company's Twitter feed. Now that just seems unsafe. The
idea of a company endorsing the visual of a kid hanging out next to — or even
firing — a flamethrower seems surreal.
Elon Musk had to
rename the flamethrower to Not-A-Flamethrower to please regulatory and customs
agency. He also had rhyming
terms and conditions for safety.
There's one four-legged
friend, and a kid standing close by as his mother gives the Not-A-Flamethrower
a quick spin.
And then we have the
kids, some with parents others without, whose faces tell the whole story. Musk
is apparently not on hand for the Washington D.C. pickup, but it doesn't seem
like he is being missed.
