I wonder if it plays mp3s?



Here's the new 2010 Olympic three-year countdown clock that was unveiled yesterday at the Vancouver Art Gallery amid protests from community activists.

I can definitely see the point of the protesters, but I am kind of looking forward to having the Olympics in our city. How can we really pass up the chance? Personally, I think people should be protesting the clock itself. It looks like a giant cellphone or some kind of sci-fi bomb. If it starts flashing red, I'm getting the hell out of there.

I don't mind the sign itself, it's leaning towards a snowboard, a tobogan, or other snow sport paraphanelia. What I do mind are the numbers! Bomb countdown is right!
Do you think they will put a counter up for my return too? I should get started on a design. I want it in Vanier Park or something like that!

oi - that's pretty dreadful. the idea is great, but not sure that would have been my design of choice. i'll cross my fingers that nothing flashes red!
