Public Megaphone Takes Drunk Dialling to Insane New Levels
Posted by Sean Fallon at 6:30 AM on July 31, 2008
More often than not, very public art installations are pretentious and, well...pretty damn stupid. But every once in a while you come across a rare gem like the "Telemegaphone Dale." On August 2nd, anyone with a telephone can call a 23-foot tall loudspeaker sculpture on top of the Bergskletten mountain in Western Norway and have your voice ring out over the land. Naturally, the hills will be alive with the sound of drunken morons shouting profanities across the pristine landscape, but if you want to be one of those morons, hit the following link on the 2nd for the number you need to call.

So... the question is, if a tree falls on top of the Bergskletten mountain in Western Norway and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

I would SO like to play some "generic elevator muzak" over that.
Humor: A Norwegian appeared with five other men in a rape case police line-up. As the victim entered the room, the Norwegian blurted, "Yep, dat's her!"

I will call up, and just whisper "just look at those mountains. gorgeous." then proceed to narrate the landscape like a nature film. "The Sun rises in the east. Nocturnal creatures are heading to sleep as the Diurnal creatures begin to rise. Dew glistens on the morning grass."

@Kaiser-Machead's Chips Ahoy!: Bob Ross is the painter guy. You're thinking of David Attenborough.
"The tiny shrew always keeps an eye out for the faintest speck on the horizon, knowing at all times, that he is watched too. And so, the field shrew and the horned owl keep up their detente. That is, until the time is right..."

Can you say never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around, and hurt you? Words cannot express the fun I will have with this. But how will it cope when hundreds of people call at the same time?
