I would agree with lotty that it is successfuly highlighting current issues (that of mass cunsumption and the stresses this has upon the enviroment), in a playful way. I like it! Note to many people who have posted messages on this site (about other designers): to become a good critic you must beable to look benieth the surface and offten appreciate design you do not like asstheticly, design is not all about the way a piece looks and can have many functions. What good would design be if it did not chalange our minds. Many of you coments are very ignorant.

The observer can, therefore, reflect upon the many current issues highlighted by this piece, without loosing its playful side. It's FANTASTICO !!!!!!
