that's so clever. now you can be all hip and impress with your faux eco-conciousness and still do your part in deforestation.

oh dear. so much negativity! people please, for the love of all that is sacred in this world, can't we all put our petty differences aside for an innocent design competition. how dare you attack the magnificent rotator rod! i have it in my bathroom and boy I tell you, it has worked wonders! once a depressed, angry person my whole world is now filled with sunshine! sometimes while relaxing in a nice warm bath i gaze heavenward and find my salvation while pondering the wonders of this rod. rotate this.

sure, this is fundamentally a "design" but I am surprised on how much attention it's garnering on this stage. it's merely a clever piece of hardware. functional yes, though i see nothing unique or attractive in the appearance, crafstmanship or otherwise. one of the judges mentions his favorite chair that is impossible to make a good cheap imitation... this rod already looks like cheap imitation.

regarding the sculpture... i'm curious to know the materials used??? and how will it be disposed of when the advertis... I mean installation is taken down? my guess is that the "tree" is made of some form of non-biodegradable substances. Is it more plastic to be thrown in the landfill after it's short useless lifespan?

@ansela "And yes, most definitely America's government is much better than a government that beats women for not dressing properly, imprisons people for demonstrating and executes homosexuals!"

Ok, so you deny a couple of my observations but admit to the one about "we better than them". Point proven.

hmm... i'm not sure how you arrive at this rosy view of the US government. comparing the US government actions to those of other countries around the world is like apples and oranges. Many of the governments you are criticizing simply have a more overt system of corruption brutality intolerance etc.

The US (and like wise GB in it's day, the Roman Catholic church etc..) have carefully crafted a propoganda system to aide in their covert actions of dominance, oppresion etc. Sure the US doesn't openly execute gays, or beat women but you are extremely naive if you think the US and the long arm of the law do not emotionally execute gays and women, people of color, the poor...etc. every day and does not imprison people for protest. i experienced first hand arrest and beatings at the hands of police at peace demonstrations and saw with my own eyes the pummeling of women and elderly. of course this doesn't make the news. Clearly, just as domestic "news" is shrouded in a blanket of lies, exaggeration, and secrecy so too is the international news that comes our way.

and all this talk of land of the free? gimme a break. what about the enormous disproportion of incarceration versus other industrialized nations? the US prison corporation (which conveniently began once slavery was abolished)... is this simply a mere fact of life or does the US just breed more criminals than the rest of the world?

the US war machine... try to name another country that has been involved in some level of constant global warfare for the last century. oh sorry, we've been spreading peace and freedom all along right???

try reading some Krishnamurti to gain some wisdom on the basic truths of life. you might just get some awareness yet.

I think it's awesome, whatever the price may be. genius.

i think you should start smoking that way everyone can be happy. really, it's a super easy habit to pick up.

lackluster was my first impression, but at a second glance it's actually quite creepy. It totally looks like a set from a horror movie. Look at that kids bedroom shot! I'm waiting for an axe murderer to come bustin through the closet door. redrum redrum redrum...

nice photo indeed. I kept scrolling down wondering where it would end...
