A man who is worried about the trend for robots taking human jobs has decided to hit back - by becoming a ROBOT .

Canu has put himself up for hire advertising his four years of marketing experience and promising would-be employers that he can "program and download any other skills as needed".

With a glossy website displaying his attributes, Canu points out that he is "already assembled and batteries are not required".

The tongue-in-cheek site invites companies to embrace the future, announcing "if you can't beat then, join them".
