Kickstarter is the modern version of the Pet Rock (along with the confirmation that a sucker is born every minute). I have seen so many loony tunes ideas on there, and what is sad is that people buy into those ridiculous ideas. Agreed, this "re purposing" of a perfectly good film camera into that hideous glob we see on the link should shame the makers into stopping production, but hopefully not too many people buy into this loser idea.
I don't have any holier than thou feelings about destroying a film camera though, not for any reason. There are millions and millions of them around, and it's just a consumer item. Plenty more where they came from. If the world suddenly lost all it's film cameras, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to build one. In fact, in a better world, no one would be allowed to own a camera they didn't build. That would sure cut down on the crappy images we are surrounded with. Sometimes less really is more.
