Mar 27 2008Footlume Lights Up The Way With Butterflies
The Footlume is being developed at London South Bank University and will be displayed in London later this month. It's a rug. With lights that come on when you walk on it. That look like butterflies. It runs on rechargeable batteries and is questionable because what good is a lighted rug if, by the time it turns on, you're nowhere near it? Ah, for aesthetic purposes, I see. Well could I maybe get some skulls instead of butterflies? It's not that I don't like them, it's just that, well, they're a little feminine for my taste. Sure I wear Secret deodorant, but that's only because it doesn't leave stains on my white shirts. And its pH balance really works with my body.

OK, I'm waiting......Where's the balloons and streamers? No prizes? Huh, what? It's just something losers do to get attention? Hmmm....
How about a toilet that lights up when you pee in it as a companion piece?

The illustration makes it look like the rug sucks the light right out of you to fuel its butterflies, leaving you a darkened being with a light-up rug.
