City Of The Future? NOT!

Every so often big organizations like to attract our attention by burning money on meaningless contests with loud titles. The latest intellectual spank-fest is called City of The Future, and is backed by the real heavies like IBM, History Channel, and Infiniti. Competitors were fighting for the $10,000 Grand Prize and City of the Future title.

• Hydro-net… its going to be big!
• Algae-Towers… algae energy dude!
• Fog Flowers… dude they will catch like fog! Energy will be created geothermally by none other than the Geothermal Mushrooms (deep bong hit here).

Who is going to pay for all this megalomanaiacal tripe? I think the big plan is to make ROBOTS (Jetsons?) and have them work for free. Oh my!
