Why? I don’t object to people wearing a crucifix as jewellry, how is this

Is one supposed to use SNOT merely for its own sake? I think not. I think SNOT
ought to be a technique in one’s design arsenal that is used to realise a shape
desired, or to achieve a desired effect. NOT something that has to be used
whenever possible whether appropriate or not.
In fact I think this raises a larger question, can something be cool if built
without all the latest “cool techniques”? I think the answer is yes...

That might have been the point, who can say.
Personally, I found it a design worthy of a chuckle or two, one that pushed the

to have something cool that isn’t the coolest ever?
