Crawling Robotic Japanese Salaryman in the Streets of Australia

Have you ever felt so harassed at your job you felt like you wanted to crawl home and be done with it?

Recent economic crash in various countries hurt many Asian economies so hard, crawling home after work is the least of their worries. Performance artist Momoyo Torimitsu decided to address the issue by creating a robot of a crawling salaryman. "Salaryman" is the Japanese term for male office workers who work so hard, it's not far-fetched that some of them might have actually been in the same position this robot had taken once or twice in their lives. Of course, dressing like a nurse while tending to a crawling robot would distract people from realizing the real message of the performance, but enjoy the video clip anyway!
