Pleo, everyone’s favorite animatronic dinosaur, has been completely disassembled by iFixIt, leading to a rending of clothes and gnashing of teeth up and down the “cuteness corridor” that runs from San Jose to Cleveland. IFixIt, the guys who taught us all how to open our MacBooks and get at the juicy innards, decided to cut down Pleo as a lark. It makes me cry just to look at the poor fellow stripped bare and bleeding, his spine still pulsing fluid, his eyes glazing over and finally closing as a last rattling breath spews a mist of bile and blood onto the table. Some people don’t deserve to be free.
