Doctor, It Hurts When I Sit

Hello, faithful readers. Here's a quick little math equation for you:

This



Plus this



Equals this



This is how the Chinese are controlling bench hoggers in their overcrowded park areas. The park officials got the idea for this modern torture device from a German sculptor named Fabian Brunsing. Brunsing was creating a hypothetical representation of the overcommercialization of society -- the Chinese government saw a way to keep people from sitting on park benches all day AND make some money in the process.

I hope you're happy with the results, China -- this may keep regular folks off of your benches, but now your parks are going to be a magnet for goths and sadomasochists from around the world.

Please tell me this isn't real! And please tell me if it is that it is longer than 2 minutes. If I was Chinese I would start carrying around my own flat seat to put on top of the spikes and sit on that. You know like a stadium seat.
BAD IDEA CHINA. and I thought you were for the common man. apparently only if the common man has enough cash to sit down.
