Today's Politician are trying to build one of these for all of us. Beware on election year!

Looks like it has a terrible air exchange surface area.

klew

when you feed the fishes... how do they get to the food?

peterlarson233

Freedom simulator... you mean like a guys' night out, when you're married?

scarbrtj

Where do you put the tartar sauce?

MONSTERGOC

Butt Ugly for one. Where does the pump, the rocks, the treasure chest, and scuba steve go.

I don't think Mt. Wannahockalugie will fit in this thing

One2ManyCords

This looks easy to clean.

Voyou_Charmant

I wonder if the designer realized he modeled exactly how I feel when I read anything in the mainstream news. Political, local, national, or world.

dMo

yeah.... it'll stay a concept. Imagine trying to clean the fish poop that will settle to the bottom of this monster. Also, it seems that the shape would cause too much stress on some of the silicone seals which would mean you'll eventually come home to all your willies freed across the floor.

What no tesseract?

I'd much rather have a glass toroid (donut shape) of some kind. That way, my fishys can swim in circles. This one's too complicated, and might fry their puny brains.

ludwigk

I think it is really cool. If they figure out a way to make it viable for mass production (and if i had a house of my own) then i would surely buy it. But the pump might ruin it. It might actually make fish interesting to watch!

@Kaiser-Machead: wow. -y. stupid.

Kaiser-Machead

Bring the Franky Lloyd Wright out of your goldfish.

Kaiser-Machead

Looks heavy as hell.

I suppose that one must have one of the gold fish named Minotaur.

DeadWriter

Goldfish have an attention span or memory of like 1 second. Even in a small round bowl they're constantly going "WTF, dude did you see that shit?" 24/7. Elaborate bowls are for humans, not fish.

BensAngel

Actually, goldfish apparently have at least a seven day memory, so this isn't big enough... Unless they find comfort in knowing the extend of their "world".

Why not make it in the shape of a Mobius strip? [en.wikipedia.org] Now that would be interesting. A Klein bottle would simply be cruel though...

I can also imagine some interesting thing that you could do with big glass tubes. The cleaning thing would be an issue though.

Where I live we have some rich guy who has a transparent floor in his living room with goldfish. Every week or so the fish die and he just has his people put in new ones. Just another argument for eating the rich.

looks like a bitch to clean

cybergrunt

That boozy little goldfish looks like he's already thinking of how he can put together an Iron Fish suit and bust himself out of that place and save the world.

frigg

@frigg: Iron Fish Suit! I love it! Call Pixar! Failing that call for pizza!

Gary_7vn

@Ben L.: Love your work Ben, didn't know that "fact" I read on an internet was indeed a Nigerian scam. Liberate all goldfish to swimming pools!

BensAngel

In case someone still had doubts about gold fish memory.

Uhm, does the designer of this tank have any idea what it takes to care for a fish?? Obviously not.

redman042

Whoever designed this has never actually owned a fish tank before. Goldfish eat and crap all day long, and the water gets funky very fast. This tank is utterly impractical. It would look like shit in a week, and you'd have no way of cleaning it.

redman042

@Kaiser-Machead: For a second there, i thought the two of you must have been friends! Wassup FrankY!

On Point: I think the design is cool, and would certainly be interesting to have, but unless I could talk my Finnish maid into cleaning it for me, I doubt it would stay pretty for long.

Side note: must get Finnish maid.

zenpoet

That looks pretty cool and they'll never realize they're going around in circles because of their short attention spans!!!!

DaCapo

Aha! Now the Vatican can be satisfied! No more painfully round bowls thank you very much....now then, moving on to the infinate dog walking machine....

Zahrai

Instead, I suggest the toilet-tank-fish-survival-game: a special toilet tank with a small survival pool and a bell.

Every time you flush, the bell rings, warning the fish that it has two-and-a-half seconds to swim into the survival pool before it is sucked down the trap with the rest of the crap.

Every time the fish survives, you add a little tick-mark to the wall above the toilet and rename the fish (i.e. Marky Mark 27).

Add a live internet feed, and you've got your next online reality show: Survivor - Guest Bathroom.

It's not much use as an aquarium, but it is a nice metaphor for life.

You swim around in complex and confining environment while shit you cant clean up, builds up. Thankfully your life is short and you don't remember most of it.
