This dystopia is not cool at all.
That said, this gigantic pro-diversity baby is the most bizarre and intriguing element of the dystopia I’ve seen in a while.
Folk were freaked out when a ‘creepy’ puppet of a giant baby that looks like a 27ft Chucky doll turned up in their town’s square.
The figure – called ‘Lilly’ – was installed in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, by the local council to encourage schoolchildren to talk about the environment.
Officials recorded what kids said to the baby and plan to broadcast their remarks from its mouth at an event next month.
But locals have been left horrified by the puppet which opens and closes its eyes and resembles the serial killer doll in the Child’s Play horror movie series.
…
A mum posted: “I will not be taken (sic) my daughter down there too (sic) see it. It will scare her.’”
Rochdale Borough Council said it was `lucky the baby is a puppet’ or she `would be upset’ by the criticism.
“This is an event for young children and they love her, the response has been fantastic,”’ the authority added.
Officials said schoolchildren who visited the puppet sang and spoke to it about their feelings on the climate crisis and how they plan to look after nature.
The recordings will be played back when the puppet stars at an environmental arts festival at Hollingworth Lake Country Park on October 24.
Sue Smith, the Labour-run council’s cabinet member for communities and co-operation, said the children’s reaction to the giant figure was `incredible’.
“It’s vital to spark conversations about climate change and empower Rochdale’s children to envision a better world,’” she said.
“I eagerly await Lilly’s return next month – it promises to be a magical experience.’”
Yeah, I like it.
Global warming is fake, but the gigantic creepy-ass baby is pretty cool.
I mean, relative to all of the other global warming propaganda I’ve seen, it’s way cool.
The Rochdale local council is obsessed with trying to turn the world into a solid block of ice.
If gigantic creepy baby dolls harassing children is the new direction of global warming hoaxing, I can dig it.
I’m down with creepy weird shit, regardless of the context.
