The Cloud: Broadcasting the climate of humanity

[haolejohn]

@tomrichardson83 We are living in life cycles...we are constantly evolving over this time and soon the time will come for us to evolve again. This is the Awakening of our DNA. Look at all of the new crop circles. Sacred geometry and the Mayan's...Egyptians..Even Jesus was drawn inside a spaceship thousand years ago. The light beings have been there assist us in ascension to the next level.

Humanity has been here over 20,000 years!....Everything is in cycles as we are.

What about the Illuminati hand signs at the 1:00 minute mark? NWO has taken over... they told us so...

[J20M07]

I just think it's a load of shit. How can we say we're a united humanity with everything that's going on in the world...war, poverty, discrimination, prejudice, racism, murder. And then this comes along telling us that we're united...what an insult. And people are giving me thumbs down...god you sad people need to wake up and smell the bullshit.

[jadegoodysghost]

A floating observation deck?

Nice way to sell it to the masses though.

[adrianxsands]

What song is this?

[Hallo2244]

This is really cool, whether it's brainwashing or whatever (from these odd comments below) this is an amazing step forward in technology, I can't wait to leave this crazy land (America) to see this and the world.

[hahftmxpknvuu]

A new life awaits you in the off-world colonies.

[SilversidesFishing]

Cant you smell the stink of that cloud? open yer eyes ya fools. It's more Olympic brainwashing.

[J20M07]

United Humanity?! Where the fuck did they get that from?!?!

Funny it's an American talking as well isn't it. "United Humanity" Never heard such a fucking hypocritical load of bullshit in my entire life.

[TheBradock]

What a waste of money

Pile of wank

[gonner212]

Whenever I hear the word Cloud. I always follow it with the words... Of Poisonous Gas

[GBPaddling]

Two thousand twelve! look it's two thousand AND twelve or twenty twelve,pisses me of all these "Americansms",and no I'm not anti-yank,christ even Steve Wright on Radio 2 is at it.

[ggwwggwwggwwggww]

it sound a bite ambishas isn't .

[boogaloo80]

Say NO to the swine flu vaccine.

[koriko88]

I watched it with the sound off, and it looks like a drug-induced vision of craziness. Bubbles...coming out of another dimension in the cityscape, drawings, the world, people!!!! WAAHHHUUU!!!!

[arky3000]

wouldnt the 'clouds' get superhot inside? not to mention i heard of someones house burning down cos of a glass ball on their mantle, could it be possible to create huge fires with this thing in the same way? also lets not mention that not everyone will be happy bunnies and if it gets made will do anything to destroy/damage it. its like buying a vase and putting it in a classroom, sooner or later one of the little buggers will break it somehow! a big waste of money!

[richielee14]

Its a great way to waste our money! It looks appalling, definitely would not fit in with the skyline.. is it even structurally possible?

[hughtub]

Sorry but this is such crap. Where's the substance? It seems entirely conceptual. LOL at the biker on the ramp inside it. That will NEVER happen in real life. I didn't get a single clear understanding of what exactly this is and how information would be transmitted or shown. This has the feel of a kindergartener explaining their invention for a time machine. Where's the beef?

[ricefarmer]

much better then that birds nest crap in china with no message except to show their power, this has an actual message

take that muslims, we are humans stop with ur fairy tale bullshit, i say we ban muslim countries till they grow a brain

[simulantreal]

Make sure you ban christian countries as well.

[cautioner]

This is awesome!

[plasmolysed]

this could quite possibly the greatest architectural achievement of this century so far. I love that it incorporates digital image relays and is self-dependent for energy. this is the future. it's really exciting and i hope people are willing to contribute

[Omichitje]

All comments aside, all the places the money could better go to, extra light to help confuse the birds and what not.

This looks amazing, very inspired.

[sleepcrime]

What a bunch of whining bitches. Who cares what accent the narrator has? This project is was born out of MIT in the US and has architects and designers from all over the world working on it. This would be an outstanding monument to the London 2012 games and an utterly unique landmark for London. The potential for this as a massive tourist destination should be obvious. The London Eye, nothing more than an observatory wheel, has been massively successful since it opened in 2000. Beautiful.

[fredstar1987]

I think we already have clouds in London

[mhmediaonline]

Hey just what we need.. another white elephant, part of Boris Johnson's personal fantasy!

Why not spend the money on improving the transport infrastructure so that people can actually *get* to the Games instead of queuing for hours in gridlocked traffic or standing in the subterranean sauna known as The Tube?

[icaruspnw]

mhmediaonline: You're understandably confused about the purpose of the event. The Olympics are a product and the intent of the organizers is to market the spectacle. Thousands of people sweating in transit are in fact just one more aspect of the total product, and their plight is only slightly less salable than sweating athletes. Stop thinking about sport and instead regard the entire thing as a vast, public transfer of funds.

[jameskeane1]

London monument, American voicer over. Gah.

[FROGGYDOHERTY]

wow....every city in the world should have this....Great way of communication to the people on the ground......amazing idea
