Cyborgs not allowed- Casino Monte-Carlo


Although entry to the hall of the Casino Monte-Carlo (Monaco) is open to everyone, cyborg Harbisson was kicked out of the casino's hall for "looking like an alien from Mars". As he entered the casino, he was immediately approached by a security guard saying "le martien est arrivé!". Harbisson was then taken to one side and was questioned by a senior security guard. Harbisson told the guards what the device was and why he was wearing it but his explanation wasn't taken as serious. The guards laughed at him, took him to the exit door and asked him to go back to his planet and never come back.

My god, how can they be so stupid?
Well, I know, because years ago they "invited" us to leave just because we didn't fit their standards.

I just discovered today your story by the great TV3 program "Colors en Serie: Plata". I posted about it in Meneame and a friend of you told me about your project and this blog. Great stuff!

Now I'm living in Ireland so if you plan to come around let me know! Good luck and all the best!
Salut i sort!
