Postmodern doll house

How to convince your daughter you've gone completely mad?  Buy her this Corbusierian nightmare of a doll house.  Yes, it's a doll house.

No, really.  Trust me.  It is.

It's also one with a message:  If we're going to bring forth the New Technocratic Millennium, then some childhoods must be relentlessly crushed.,

  1. It looks more like Corbu's idea of a bookcase. You know, the kind where absolutely nothing can be made to stand up straight no matter what you brace it up with.

    Either that, or a hyper-expensive Hot Wheels(TM) track.

    cheers

  2. Hmmm, well you could put a gerbil in it and drive him crazy.

  3. Oh, I thought it was a parking house for Matchbox toy cars and intended for boys.

    Seriously, when houses are designed for machines of living, people are treated as machines of existence.

    Le Corbusier must have had a worse than average case of Asperger's.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
