Funny concept (for a couple of seconds, I suppose), but what a terribly edited video.

Well, I liked it, but then I hate cell phones.

Exactly, jimmy. Waaaaay too long, with no payoff.

Too long, no payoff, AND from 2002 (like, 20 netyears ago)... And yet I still want one for my own culture pranking. Damn. Also: Would have been much cooler if the artist had made free DIY construction plans available along with the video. As it stands, it seems to be a fairly transparent attempt to get his name out there.

Some restaurants are starting to put in cellphone booths in lobbies and other out of the way places - let's hope it catches on. On a side note, I just spent two weeks in Vienna and in various parts of the Czech Republic. Mobile phone use seems much more rampant there. In every cafe, coffee house and restaurant I was in there seemed to be no problem with people taking calls right at the table. Much more than in the states.

Yeh, that video dragged on way long. But I enjoyed watching the conversion from flat backpack item to box every time it happened. (it didnt happen enough, tho)
