Is that Robocop? No, it must be a guy in a poorly-constructed Tin Man costume from The Wizard of Oz, right? No? Is it a dude with a huge bomb strapped to him?

The answer is none of the above. This man is actually a Hong Kong citizen who attempted to enter China with 94 stolen iPhone 6s attached to his body. He was rather conspicuous, however, due to what officials said was “weird walking posture, joint stiffness, and muscle tension.”

While this particular gentleman is likely headed to jail, wealthy men across the world may still benefit from his innovation of “iPhone protective cup.”
