Man Re-Designed
Members of the 'Society of Industrial Designers held a 29-minutes’ competition to re-design man, at their annual conference in New York. They wanted “an animal which would be a better solution to the very environmental problems which man has created.” Winning design was a man, with a flat, streamlined head erected on a flying saucer, an aspirin for an eye, and a built-in cigarette. The new man has no ears (he depends on radar) and no .stomach (no limit on drinking). Second prize went to a man with a built-in mirror for looking at his ulcers.
