Vespavenger

--- Quote from: Alphalpha on 06 Mar 2008, 06:08 ---I'm pretty sure the Vespavenger design is taken directly from Fooly Cooly, although as far as we know she isn't an alien. Perhaps she modelled herself on Haruhara Haruko.

Quite possible, though she doesn't wail on guys with a guitar.
Short of the Vespa, she's a lot more like Paranoia Agent's Lil' Slugger in practice.

Sorry if I'm resurrecting the wrong Vespavenger thread, but I thought this was worth mentioning. Apparently, there's a defense technology firm that's actually building a variant of her Vespa.
Here's a URL for an article about it:

Whatever it's a reference to, someone remade the website in reality.

That page would be better if the links actually worked.

I think Jeph made the Vespavenger site just to prevent someone else taking that name. According to Alexa, that site was created and peaked in traffic at the same time Jeph was using that arc.
I'm reminded of an obscure FCC regulation that stipulates if you mention a fictional web domain on television or radio, you are responsible for the content of that domain. Perhaps this applies to the internet too. So if someone purchased vespavenger.com before Jeph made the site and after he showed the Coffee of Doom crew checking it out, then whatever they put on it is Jeph's responsiblity. So if they put child porn on it, Jeph would be responsible for child porn.
