Yeah, He Can Fly (Because He’s Got a Jetpack)
There’s a new Iron Man clip out today, but I’ve decided to show the above video instead, because jetpacks are the among few items that are cooler than everything else. This gent has dressed himself up in Iron Man team colors (yeah, it looks like a real outfit when he’s flying around, but it’s more like a cheap, homemade Halloween costume) and flew around Austin for a few seconds, and it’s totally awesome and I’m jealous. Well done, sir. Well done indeed. (Via FilmDrunk)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
