|    "Portal" Between Dublin and NYC Shut Dow    |

      XPost: alt.cities.dublin, alt.politics.democrats, talk.politics.guns       XPost: sac.politics       From: suggestionsformayor@vodolton.org              A company placed portal-shaped "sculptures" in the cities of Dublin and New       York, allowing residents across the pond to essentially have a public, non-       stop Zoom meeting with each other.              The marketing stunt went about as well as practically anybody could've       expected. While residents initially waved innocent signs around in an       apparent attempt to connect across the Atlantic, the situation quickly       descended into chaos, as The Independent reports, with an OnlyFans model       flashing the so-called portal. Another "very drunk" woman was filmed rubbing       her behind against the screen, while a different video shows a man exposing       his own derrière.              One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images       of 9/11 on his phone, according to The Guardian.              Less than a week after the installation was unveiled, officials decided to       shut it down temporarily in light of the chaos.              In short, it's ironically the perfect "window" into the kind of mayhem such       a stunt can trigger. Who could've possibly predicted this would happen?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
