That shirt is the bomb, yo!

Apparently, an "art-project" worn by an MIT student at Boston's Logan International Airport (both known for their sense of humor) has landed the student in hot water. In all seriousness -- where is the art in this? Aside from that, where is technology in this?

According to the news story on yahoo, this girl had the wires attached to play-dough as well as the bread-board. Why would you use play-dough unless you are hoping someone will mistake it for C4? Then when questioned her about her shirt she walked away (not a good move). Again, what exactly is being "shown off" in this "art-project?" The fact that you can light up LEDs on a circuit board with a 9-Volt? Let me alert MENSA.

Bottom line: don't group real innovation together with boneheads hoping to create hype and headlines. The motto "Socket To Me" will prove to be a self-fulfilling prophecy for her it seems.
