OMG Boobs! Does nobody think of the Children?!?!?!?!

Pathetic

public toplessness is legal in NYC and has been since 2010 for everyone. i'm guessing that it's not in Dublin?

Lol nope! Republic of Ireland has been a heavily-Catholic country since its inception. It's lightened in recent years and some surprises do slip through but that ain't one of them.

Might read past the headline.

Another "very drunk" woman was filmed rubbing her behind against the screen, while a different video shows a man 

One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone

Probably wasn’t the only time. People generally being people is probably why they shut it down.

Greed is the most destructive human impulse, but prudishness still wins handily in the fucking annoying category.

Oh no, boobs, those things pretty much everyone likes, the horror!

The average person has one boob and one testicle.

[-] GraniteM 88 points 2 weeks ago

Slightly less than one boob and one testicle. Just like the average person has slightly less than two legs.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 2 weeks ago

Some of us have 2 boobs and 2 testicals :)

[-] [email protected] 30 points 2 weeks ago

And some have 0 boobs and 0 testicles. Gender affirming care probably evens out

Boobs should never shut anything down. Ever.

[-] postmateDumbass 81 points 2 weeks ago

Its a good thing they never invented a bomb that distributed female nipples over a wide area.

Entire cities could be lost.

"OnlyFans model flashing the so-called portal. Another "very drunk" woman was filmed rubbing her behind against the screen, while a different video shows a man exposing his own derrière.

One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone, according to The Guardian."

Yeaaah. Not just boobs

The horror of the human body. Hide it, seal it and be ashamed of it.

To be fair to the yanks, you sowed us nice boobies and we showed you our pale arses, cocaine and videos of 9/11.

This girl should not get the blame here.

How did New York come out sounding like the wholesome part of this story?

Here's the thing. If people aren't allowed to have fun with your intercontinental portal, why even have it at all?

I think the shutting down after such "incidents" is the final expression in this piece of art.

"A connected world is great, as long as that connection includes approved messages only."

The portal is a genuinely fun idea. I'd love to see those all around!

But... people being people got to ruin all the fun. So... I don't suppose I'll be seeing one of these any time soon.

Blah.

Isn’t the purpose of the art piece to demonstrate the human condition across an ocean? Flashing/mooning/offensive memes, that is what humans do. This should stay up and more should be put in place. How much more culturally connected would cities in the US be linked to other UK or EU cities?

You know this kinda makes me think that it would've been funnier if they connected two cities that hate each other more than just like, dublin and new york, which I can't really think of as ever having had beef. Maybe NYC and chicago, or something. You can't really put something like this in texas or LA because nobody fuckin walks anywhere, unless maybe you put it in like long beach or like some random part of Austin or something. Seattle? Does Seattle have beef with anywhere? On the other side, could we connect Dublin with like, London or something? Maybe some city in northern Ireland?

You know what? That took waaaayyyy longer than I thought it would to happen.

This thing is on the Irish radio every day since they opened it. Great idea, and sounds like people are having fun.

It's New York. What did they think would happen?

[-] [email protected] 76 points 2 weeks ago

It's legal to be topless in New York. She didn't commit a crime or anything.

New Yorkers and Dubliners are supposed to come between breasts, not have breasts come between them.

[-] WhatIsThePointAnyway 36 points 2 weeks ago

I’m sure this was killed by bitchy socially conservative sheltering types who freak out about anything that doesn’t fit in their small minded view of morality.
