At least they didn’t throw stones.

(sewgottaaxe…) are they contractually constrained against turning the suggestible setting into an X-rated bit of performance Art?

Your honour, the defendants were offered a hotel room, and assumed they’d be able to have a wank in it, as one can in any other hotel room. For the hotel owners or even the public prosecutor to object to someone having a wank in a private hotel room, and label it a public indecency offence is huge over-reach and I urge you to dismiss the case immediately.
But, your honour, the defendants knew full well they were on view to the public and yet continued to act in a away they know would be liable to get them arrested and charged if undertaken in any other public place. This is an open and shut case.
But, your honour, the defendants knew no such thing. They assumed it was glass that allowed them to look out but nobody outside to see in.
From eye contact with several members of hotel staff and police officers, it was clear that the defendants knew they were being observed.
But it was performance art!
PS @theophrastus I think that’s a contract we’d all like a look at!

I hope they have complimentary sleep masks because there is no way I’d be able to sleep with lights on.

How did the couple get on with the other inhabitants?
Edit: Glass houses always remind me of 13 Ghosts.

I didn’t really get the impression of them “complaining” from the video. It came across mostly that they didn’t know the extent of how much they were going to be the art piece and would have prepared more if they had known. They did know it’s an ‘art hotel’ and that they would be the art on display.

So, they are content creators. They went to the hotel for clicks, and it paid off either way.

Given that they were influencers, they were expecting to more efficiently monetize the experience, as one does.

Yeah, clearly they were not complaining about the experience. I would say it’s more accurate to say that they were lamenting the fact that they didn’t plan ahead for something more interesting.

Not quite sure about the “YOU” above the bed. Everyone else can see it’s you but, you need to be reminded? Is that what caging does to a person?

“This is art.”
Taps on glass. “Hi, Art!”
(I’ll show myself out).

I think that the lights not turning off would be the most annoying thing ever for me, but no matter what this is the kind of thing only content creators would be interested in and i’m not in that camp.
