Heh well I guess it's not easy to "get" it! Um it's like instead of getting stuck on an island, he got stuck on a different kind of island, the median! And he's been there forever, unable to cross the road! It's kind of silly and improbable, but that's kind of the point!

Regarding Wilson. Were you trying to stay away from any copyright infrigments? The reason I ask, Wilson , in the movie, is a volleyball, not a basketball.

I really like this idea. It took me a second to get it but when I got it I laughed. I'm going to give this a 5

Even when the crosswalk works well, it's sometimes so loooong that you can stay in the middle and transform yourself in a cast away Tom! ^^

ButterflyWings: Actually I was just thinking that a basketball is more likely to be found on the street...cause...I don't ever see anyone playing street volleyball!

i love the idea. the basketball is kinda random though
musikrose
musikrose on Jan 09 '07
its because the movie character had a volleyball with a bloody handprint that he continually spoke to.

is this a tribute to that JG Ballard's concrete island?

phones: I've never heard of JG Ballard, so no, it isn't a tribute. Is my design similar to something he's done?
