Icelandic Company Designs Human Pylons
Lanxon writes "An architecture and design firm called Choi+Shine has submitted a design for the Icelandic High-Voltage Electrical Pylon International Design Competition which proposes giant human-shaped pylons carrying electricity cables across the country's landscape, reports Wired. The enormous figures would only require slight alterations to existing pylon designs, says the firm, which was awarded an Honorable mention for its design by the competition's judging board. It also won an award from the Boston Society of Architects Unbuilt Architecture competition."
Humanoid statues can hold cables with their elbows, shoulders, top of their head, middle of their chest etc.
Not just with their hands - like real humans.
And if you think that humanoid pylons are impractical - get a load of these ugly things. No pun intended.
And then try imagining servicing one of those nightmares.

This is how they have been building them around here for the last few decades. Clearly it works.
After reading the headline, I was thinking "what an odd use for their excess population".
Who would win this election: Andrew Weiner vs Andrew Weiner's weiner.
