Delivering Domino’s Pizza by Unmanned Helicopter: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

[Renew Deal]

Proving that it’ll try anything short of making tasty pizza in order to get you to buy its pizza, Domino’s has uploaded the above video to its U.K. and Republic of Ireland YouTube account.

The video’s caption: “See the latest delivery innovation from Domino’s. The DomiCopter – taking deliveries to new heights.”

1. Ooh. free target shooting!

Skeet shooting time!

[font size="5"]PULL![/font]

Best part? Domino's stupid enough to do this and waste money ATTEMPTING to do it.

[tridim]

10. I have RC planes that could easily take that thing down. Free pizza!

Is it illegal to steal pizza from a flying robot?

[Deep13]

14. Not if it was tresspassing in your yard!

I rather think "free flying robot." After all, who really wants a Dominoes pizza?

[wandy]

21. My thoughts exactly. nt

[Wait Wut]

2. We need the video...

...of that thing delivering pizza to a house full of stoners.

3. Thats a way better use if the "drone" program!

SEND PIZZA, NOT BOMBS!!!

4. For one - you could end up with a Domino's pizza

6. lol

[Deep13]

11. That's a serious design flaw. nt

[Enrique]

13. DUzy!

[tridim]

5. I'm going to have a pizza sent to Alex Jones' house.

[Renew Deal]

7. lol

[Tx4obama]

8. LOL :) n/t

[lame54]

12. the black helicopters

[Deep13]

9. I need a more powerful garden hose for my yard...

...one that can hit low-flying objects. If it's in or over my yard, I own it.

Won't the pizza get cold?

The worst thing about this is that when the high-tech gadget arrives, it will still be carrying a Dominoes pizza. Perhaps they should put some of that research budget into making pizzas that don't taste like crap.

[KansDem]

15. Isn't there a possibility that someone could get clipped by the blades?

Also, how do you tip it?

[pinboy3niner]

25. You mean the 'Rotory Pizza Slicers'?

Dominos drones will be multi-taskers. And the Rotory Pizza Slicers will also serve as the Complaint Department.

16. "The Pie in the Sky"

Sorry, I'll have to pass on Domino's pizza.

[tularetom]

17. When they have drone helicopters delivering pizza and robots working at McDonalds

there will be no jobs left for humans to perform. This is apparently the goal they aspire to.

So when they achieve it there will be even fewer people who can pay for their shitty pizza.

Hell, even a nazi asshole like Henry Ford realized it was good business to pay his employees reasonable wages. They could afford to buy his cars.

Mr. Domino perhaps does not understand that yet. But he will.

[Warren DeMontague]

19. Unless they eat it sparingly and occasionally, McDonalds is killing their customers.

So that's not really a sustainable business model, either.

[Warren DeMontague]

18. Maybe they should spend a little more time developing a pizza that doesn't taste like ass.

Flying shit is still shit.

[NaturalHigh]

20. Lots of things could go wrong, but it's still kind of cool.

Not saying I want one flying through my back yard, though.

By the way, why all the hate on how dominoes tastes? I like dominoes, wish we had one in our town. I don't like Pizza Hut, and Mazzios has kind of a messed-up delivery policy.

[siligut]

22. I would be suspicious that the pizza delivery is just an excuse to own drones

And make them a business expense.

[longship]

23. I knew there was a real reason to dislike drones.

Domino's certainly qualifies.

[hunter]

24. Hamburgers and fries in missiles would be harder to shoot down.

Open your window and stand clear!

[Pragdem]

26. Food delivery drones spell a very exciting future. Thank Darwin for STEM Americans. nt
