Spotted: “Protest Chair” makes its debut

Most of us have seen people protesting. But what about inanimate objects? Spotted at the Connoisseurs’ Marketplace in downtown Menlo Park was what could only be labeled a “protest chair.” “Your butt doesn’t look good,” proclaims the chair that declares it’s charging $5 for five minutes and $30 for 10 minutes. At the same time it reiterates its “not for hire.” Color it confused as well as angry. Go figure.
