    It's ugly, it's stupid, it's incomprehensible. Oh wait, it's art.

  • designbydave, on 09/21/2009, -0/+8Looks like a unicorn took a ***** on it then lit it on fire
  • darklich14, on 09/21/2009, -0/+8That dude has a psychological disorder.
  • copypastry, on 09/21/2009, -0/+6masterpiece... no.
  • inactive, on 09/21/2009, -0/+6"Stunning", "Art". Really? ....Really? "Stunning"?
  • wendall911, on 09/20/2009, -0/+6There is a video included of the OLPC laptop being microwaved. Awesome.
  • inactive, on 09/21/2009, -0/+4The end of that video was WTF
  • supersonicjim, on 09/21/2009, -0/+4Kill it with fire
  • blippityblop, on 09/21/2009, -0/+3This was time consumingly entertaining for me.
  • linagee, on 09/21/2009, -0/+2if (object == useless) {
    status = IT_IS_ART;
    }
  • srs2000, on 09/21/2009, -0/+2Did everything just taste purple for a second?
  • FitteMas, on 09/21/2009, -0/+2hey.. what smells like blue
  • themastersb, on 09/21/2009, -0/+2I dont think that big blob coming off it is actually part of the original OLPC. I call fake.
  • srs2000, on 09/21/2009, -0/+2This guy is literally INSANE. A guy decides to microwave a laptop.. Okay.. People get bored. I can see it happening. He then molds the melted laptop into a creepy slug like creature. Okay.. People are weird. The song at the end of the video? Clearly crosses the line into insanity.
  • inactive, on 09/21/2009, -0/+2I guess we have lowered the bar on both "stunning" and "art" now.
  • freshgrease, on 09/21/2009, -0/+2It looks like Chewbacca takin' a *****.
  • bmcnally, on 09/21/2009, -0/+2It's . . . beautiful

    (the laptop during microwaving, not the end result)
  • inactive, on 09/21/2009, -0/+1You act as if digg has ever had standards for the words "Beautiful", "stunning", "magnificent", etc
  • ushere, on 09/21/2009, -0/+1 where's the manifesto?
  • frieddonuts, on 09/21/2009, -0/+1the gaze that will haunt my nightmares... http://www.flickr.com/photos/kennyirwin/3730914236 ...
  • christianboutin, on 09/21/2009, -0/+1Why let the laptop help a child to read when you can made a boring ***** video of yourself destroying this perfectly fine piece of computer hardware? You're a hero dude./s
  • Brak710101, on 09/21/2009, -0/+1Oh, no - it's just $26,000 in PayPal fees.
  • LostSoul83, on 09/21/2009, -0/+1While microwaving technology is all well and good, it is more fun (and entertaining) to microwave items that consumers follow like sheep. I saw someone microwave an Iphone, full-size laptop, ipods, and an XBOX 360!

    My favorite comments after these videos are from those people saying "d00d! don't microwave it!!11oneone Give it to me!!11oneone
  • georgelulu, on 09/21/2009, -0/+1Anybody notice that the rubber for the keyboard seems to be unsinged and unharmed after an hour of microwaving?
  • Tollofsen, on 09/21/2009, -0/+1I've seen a tv show featuring him on swedish television. He ***** in jars and keeps the jars with the crap/piss in them. He also does lots of other strange things. I'd say your right but add spoiled to the list as well. But he's not dull.
  • skiiper, on 09/21/2009, -0/+1If thats a stunning piece of art then I must be the pope.
  • GTRagnarok, on 09/21/2009, -0/+1Don't forget the extra dollar. It makes a huge difference.
  • soulknowledge, on 09/21/2009, -0/+1The end of that video is the creepiest ***** thing I've ever seen and I am guaranteed to wet myself several times tonight because of it. Thanks nmffffd9.
  • combatchuck, on 09/21/2009, -0/+1No, people have paid quite a bit more for Jackson Pollock's ... art.
  • antdude, on 09/21/2009, -0/+1So did famous artists like Van Gogh.
  • in51der, on 09/24/2009, -0/+0Stunning? hmmmmmmmmmmmm

  • shawnmrose, on 09/21/2009, -1/+0Take that poor kid in third world country who is browsing digg on the only computer in your mud hut "school". Stupid poor kid. I think I'll go to a buffet now and not get my money's worth.
  • bugsy187, on 09/19/2009, -8/+4Maybe you prefer something literal, "pretty," and superficial?

    (By the way, I'm not defending the so called "masterpiece" above.)
