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