There's got to be a caption competition in this one...

Can_Clone, a robotics and genetic engineering company based in Toronto, introduces its newest prototype at the recent film festival. The Zhango X700 can sign 15 autographs per minute and is able to smile, pout or frown. A company spokeperson told reporters that Can_Clone hopes to have the Zhango X700 in production soon to replace the Yeoh_Khan R99, orders for which have slowed significantly in recent years.

I believe Can_Clone is the same company behind all the bootleg DVDs the Ziyibot was signing that day...looks like they've finally diversified now that not a single Torontonian buys legitimate movies anymore...
