Telemegaphone? Whazat?

Telemegaphone Dale is a 23-foot-tall wind-powered loudspeaker sculpture that picks up incoming calls and projects them into the nearby surroundings. This Telemegaphone, created by the Swedish designers at Unsworn Industries, is located on a mountain overlooking the village of Dalsfjord in Western Norway. Apparently, a “massive” amount of people have been calling. The sculpture is only “available” when the wind is blowing and the line isn’t busy.

When you dial the Telemegaphone’s phone number the sound of your voice is projected out across the fjord, the valley and the village of Dale below. No answer? Telemegaphone Dale is wind powered and self-reliant. Recently however, the weather has been exceptionally calm in Dale and there has been a massive amount of people calling

Just remember, the children... remember the children. ;)

Cue "The Lonely Goatherd" in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ...

Funky!

If I lived in that house my 30-06 would be talking to that windmill...

Hmm. I suppose calling it and then playing a recording of an air raid siren would be out of good taste..:lol:

No, no. On second thought, Rickrolling that thing would definitely be bad...Or funny.

Hmmm...Megaphone + screaming, moaning porn sounds = fun for the whole family!

Why would you want that in your valley? Between the porno weirdos, air-raid sirens, rickrolling (LOL!), ads, potty-mouth teens, seriously what bloody good would ever come out of it?

Okay, just maybe, just once, something useful ... "Olaf! Olaf! Bitte Kommen zum Homen und eaten dinner mit us, yah?"

I would call and play a recording of the wind.

Eggsellent!

Welcome, Randalll!

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikolaaaaaaaaaaaa............!!!!!!!!!

As if there isn't enough noise pollution as is. (but the hills could be alive with the sound of music!):p

I wonder if this piece was inspired by the Mojave Desert Phone Booth. I used to call the MDPB & I still keep the number in my cell phone. I miss it. *sniff* Maybe I should use the Telemegaphone to plea for its return. "Hello down there, this is God...."

I have the irresistible urge to call this up during my next Tour of Duty session...

sweetwater, I just added that movie to my NetFlix que.
