What a party!

Good times were had by none.

Dutch Artists Celebrate George Orwell’s Birthday By Putting Party Hats On Surveillance Cameras

On Tuesday, surveillance cameras in the center of the city of Utrecht were decorated with colorful party hats to celebrate the 110th birthday of George Orwell, Dutch art duo Front404 explained on their website.

“By making these inconspicuous cameras that we ignore in our daily lives catch the eye again we also create awareness of how many cameras really watch us nowadays.”

Big brother refused to blow out the candles. He said the candles did not exist and that you’ve fallen behind in your viewing of your two minutes of hate.
