Inappropriate Technology

Unlikely as it may seem, this website shows two statues of men that are peeing in the fountain that they stand in, somewhere in Prague. You can apparently send a text message -- in Czech -- to the statues, which will then write your message in the -- well, not snow, but the water of the fountain in the traditional manner.

There's something just wrong about this.

Obviously a P2P PPP using P3P, or maybe PGP. Maybe hooked up to a PC with a PCI or a PDA with a PCMCIA, programmed in PGML, documented in PDF, and obviously connected to a PVR.

And it seems the response time is PDQ.

Wrong!? It's brilliant! (well, ok, it's wrong, but in a good sort of way). I think that's one of the goofiest things I've seen in quite a while. Thanks. I had to forward it to my crazy yet delightful ex boyfriend who was teaching English in Prague (the reason for my visit there years ago). He has since married a Czech woman and moved back to the US but that is just so HIM that I had to ask him if he's seen it. :-)
