The result was similar to this video.

I think the only conclusion you can draw is that people who would normally appreciate art of this caliber are just too into their own headspace as they go to and from work to even take a few moments to exist outside that space. I think it says more about how we're living our lives then art.

A Great Man.

I hope these police never visit Disneyland or Walt Disney World. They'll have to arrest everyone in the light parade.

What's next? Are they going to arrest people with those light up visors or t-shirts?

No friends yet.
