Yoko Ono: IMAGINE PEACE

Times Square, NYC, 11:57pm all December

Yoko Ono’s video billboard film, IMAGINE PEACE is being shown in Times Square, New York, nightly from 11:57 pm to midnight through December, simultaneously synchronised at 25 different screen locations, as part of the Times Square Moment.

Is the headscratching staff the only one that thinks this is the biggest waste of money this side of Restore Our Future?

Just askin’.
