Nov 16 2010Bubble Tents: Because Everybody Should Make Love Under The Stars With Bears And Forest Gnomes Watching At Least Once
Bubble tents: for admiring the great outdoors without actually having to be out of doors. Hey, that reminds me of something. Oh right -- WINDOWS.
Launched this year, the structures can be now be hired out at sites across France for around £400 pounds (~$635) a night.
Once the 'bubble' is inflated, it's kept in shape with an airlock at the entrance and a silent pump, which keeps a constant pressure on the surrounding 'walls'.Outside sound is kept to a minimum while inside noise is magnified, which, according to Mr Dumas, encourages the occupants to create a peaceful atmosphere by whispering.
Mr Dumas added: 'For me, Bubble huts are a place apart where you can rest, breathe or just stand back.'
'Having a night under the stars or seeing the sun rise and set is not something that many people experience anymore.
Listen, as a guy who's exposed himself to woodland creatures more times than he'd like to admit (200+), I'm down with the bubble tent. I don't care who -- or what -- is watching me undress, because, ultimately, it's gonna be their (vision) loss. No lie, one time I caught the lady across the street watching me undress and her eyes popped out their sockets and she got a bloody nose. And that was just from catching a glimpse of my pirate booty. Thank God I didn't release the Kraken!
Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the exhibitionism.
Transparent bubble tent puts campers under the stars (but careful where you get undressed!) [dailymail]
Thanks to Derek, who camps the way God intended: in an air-conditioned RV with satellite television and full bar. Ah, the great outdoors.

This is just like the time I watched a movie about reading a website about subscribing to a blog about people commenting on blogs where there was this blog on a website in the movie and then I watched it. Man, that was a good soda.

@nothelimejuice tell me about it. I don't mind the impostoring myself. As if we all have an image to uphold here or something. Apparently Jonathan does though, I'm quite entertained watching him get all worked up over there

For $635 a night it better come with a butler, a very nearby non bubble structure with indoor plumbing and heat or AC

35. notthelimejuice - November 16, 2010 3:39 PM
@ naas, yea it is kinda funny. Besides, it's obvious who the trolls are. Oh, reminds me, can I pick your brain about some hardcore tunes one of these days?
@ 27 no you don't.
36. Seth - November 16, 2010 3:39 PM
It's strange how it also blocks out all outside sounds, while magnifying the sounds within the bubble. This means not only do you miss out on the sounds of nature -- one of the main selling points to actually sleeping outdoors for most people who enjoy it -- but you also get the amplified sounds of your husband/wife's snoring and incessant complaining about being trapped inside an overpriced bubble for your anniversary when a cruise ship costs about 1/3 what you paid.
Absolutely BRILLIANT!
37. Daisy - November 16, 2010 3:39 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake becayuse the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max slept and wet himself inside Baja's tent and had to buy him a new, transparent one.

@28 you know I wouldn't comment under any other name than mine & the 24-bit whore... stop being wrong

If these were in England, they'd be called Dogging huts, and they would be single-use only.
