   It kind of looks like Ganondorf.

   I personally reminds me of one of the characters in a sesame street nightmare.

   Hehe! That is pretty neat. I usually just let the kids take a hammer and smash all the old electrical junk into pieces.

   (And this art is far better than any old tin foil ball.)

   That's not art. I'm sick of people tossing some trash together and calling it art.

   why would one destroy a laptop in order to promote a company that gives children laptops?

   I'll call it art. Bad art.

   Agree with nene, Why would destroying one laptop in a microwave have any message other than "We have so much stuff that we can afford to destroy it", which flys in the face of giving laptops to underprivileged children. To summarize, Kenny Irwin, you made really poorly thought out, really bad art. Way to go.

   difficult to look at. cool experiment, but i agree it's a mixed message for a marketing campaign

    @nene,johnny, and dutch,
    Ohhhh, probably because that's all the OLPC "laptop" is good for. Terrible specs, and the worst part, never lived up to it's $99 promise.
    They started with you buy one, and they will send another to the developing nations schools.
    Now it's $199 and you are S.O.L. on getting one for yourself.

    If it is not art, how do you explain the googly-eyes?

    "why would one destroy a laptop in order to promote a company that gives children laptops?"

    I believe you're overlooking the operative word here: "promote." It's on Neatorama, isn't it? You're talking about it, aren't you? Promotion accomplished.
