Off the cuff comic item

I'm watching the latest Totally Rad Show, which is a best of the past year episode, and they mentioned a comic called The Surrogates. Might be of interest to you BCIers out there, since it revolves around the idea of neurally interfacing with robots that go out and live the person's life while the controller remains at home. It brings up interesting topics, like if you 'kill' a surrogate is it murder?

Peripherally related to telepresence, there is a vest being marketed for gaming that allows players to feel the impact of bullets (sans sucking chest wound). Cost: <$200. Behold, the 3rd Space Vest. The first and second were kinda crappy, I guess.
(There's also a pink version for you girlies out there.)
