How long until Deadspin gets the video? I want to see what this 42-year-old teacher looks like! And I also kind of want to see how a junior high kid looks getting a lap dance, because I know I would've been awfully embarassed back then...

I own that movie, was pretty bad ass!

Actually they're probably not too far off from what our 1st or 2nd gen exoskeletons will look like. So far the prototypes have all been pretty fugly.
