Posted on May 13, 2006. Filed under: Gemini |

Ok this was too random to pass-up….

I happened upon my favorite weird news site ( http://www.fark.com/ ) and I started to look through all of the strange stories. Some of the stories are normal news articles some are just like reading the Darwin awards or Stupid human tricks. I found this story among some of the more interesting…. (Totally Stupid Human tricks) Read on…
Yup they are going to put 4 guys in a glass box in the middle of the mall somewhere in Shanghai.

It totally blows me away of how really bored some people are… Read more…

Ok I have added the article and it really kind of creeps me out. Why would anyone want to do this let alone watch? Ok I get the watching part some people "like" to watch, but wouldn't you rather "watch" when you were alone?? Not in the middle of the Mall.

Ok So I will let you read and you tell me what you think… I wouldn't want some one to see me in the bathroom on the "toilet" if you know what I mean…

HANGHAI, China – Shanghai is getting set to open a "human zoo."

Four Australian men will live in a glass box on a downtown mall for two weeks in June, with the public able to watch them sleeping, eating and bathing, a news report said Thursday.

The group, known as the Urban Dream Capsule, has drawn crowds with similar displays in London, Montreal, Hong Kong and other cities.

"They won't turn off the lights or pull down the curtains. They show their whole life, from getting up to going to bed," Karen Chang, the event's organizer, told the Shanghai Daily newspaper.

"People like to watch them taking a shower, so they have to shower at least two times a day," Chang said. "Of course, one can't see the key parts, because there is nontransparent glass in the bathroom."

The 650-square-foot glass capsule is to be decorated in a Shanghainese theme.

Members of the group have been taking Chinese lessons so that they can communicate with spectators, the report said. The public can send e-mail or faxes to them, or put messages on the glass.

"Interaction is a key element of the performance," Chang said.
