OMG Boobs! Does nobody think of the Children?!?!?!?!
Pathetic
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.
Thatll stop em from being people
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.
Slightly less than one boob and one testicle. Just like the average person has slightly less than two legs.
Some of us have 2 boobs and 2 testicals :)
And some have 0 boobs and 0 testicles. Gender affirming care probably evens out
Boobs should never shut anything down. Ever.
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
Here's the thing. If people aren't allowed to have fun with your intercontinental portal, why even have it at all?
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.
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."
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?
Ava Louise, for those curious. Her/her tits are.. not really my thing.. Like a Bratz doll with Thanksgiving turkeys stuffed into her chest.
That's a very accurate description.
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?
THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE... hey those are nice.
“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.”
oh boy.
You know what? That took waaaayyyy longer than I thought it would to happen.
The horror if all the OF thots would've swarmed the portal after this incident.
Edit fixed typo
It's New York. What did they think would happen?
It's legal to be topless in New York. She didn't commit a crime or anything.
This thing is on the Irish radio every day since they opened it. Great idea, and sounds like people are having fun.
And that’s why we can’t have nice things.
For a very short moment there were two nice things though 🤔
Of course something this genuinely cool is going to be misused. Of course.
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.
What kind of journalism is that? Not even a picture of those "big apples" so the reader can judge for himself.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
