The moonbats are at it again!


Via Moonbattery comes this wonderful example of political correctness, empathy for the natural world . . . and sheer bloody daftness!

Glacier Embracing Suit




This suit explores the avenue of “body” language and non-verbal communication. Intended for awkward introductory glacier encounters, it acts as an “ice breaker”, better enabling a person to lie prone on the surface of the glacier and give it a hug.


There's more at the link.

Hugging a glacier? You think I'm making this up, don't you? Never fear . . . the moonbats really are as batty as this project makes them appear! For example, the woman in the picture above is Kate Hartman, who recently did a presentation in Toronto entitled "Initial Investigatory Research for Glacier-Human Communication Techniques". You can watch it on video here, where she's described as follows:

Kate Hartman is an artist, technologist, researcher, and inventor whose work spans the fields of physical computing, wearable electronics, and conceptual art. She is the co-creator of Botanicalls, a system that lets thirsty plants place phone calls for human help, and the Lilypad XBee, a sewable radio tranceiver that allows your clothing to talk.


Uh-huh . . .

Hose them down and make them one with the glacier.

About what I'd expect from a professor at OCAD (Ontario College of Art and Design), a mecca for the local artsie-fartsies.

In sunny SoCal, they hug trees. Here in the Great White North (some) do the glaciers...I guess.

The thought that some of my taxes pay her salary is "unsettling".

Anyone have a nice little neutron bomb handy?

This validates any number of old "BC" comics, not to mention that there could be a veritible gold mine awaiting the convincingly sincere moonbat merchandise marketeer!
