It seems confirmed without a doubt: Humans enjoy being told what to do by vending machines. Last month, we saw Australians literally bowing down before the almighty Fantastic Delites machine.

The video, of course, shows people being intensely amused by "Kenneth," voiced by a comedian somewhere on site.
