'Portal' linking NYC and Dublin draws bad behavior

The 'Portal' art installation connecting New York City and Dublin via live-stream 24/7 has already drawn some less-than-savory behavior from visitors. FOX 5 NY's Stephanie Bertini has the story.

Ireland beat us in bad behavior? Common New Yorkers!

[abbiereynolds]

I don't know about New York but speaking as an Irish person they chose the worst possible street to put that portal on. In fact most of the streets in Dublin city are absolute shitholes. Junkies and homeless people roam the streets. I avoid going there unless absolutely necessary. I'm not surprised that they embarrassed us in this way.

You mean people found a way to be dicks to each other over the Internet, whoa u blew my mind!

[conormorton]

I am from dublin Ireland and the street on which the portal is on is an absolute shithole lots of homeless and drug users on that street so not surprised it’s bring abused

[veiledspice]

“Trouble mostly coming from Ireland” this is something William Wallace would have said😂

[d.martin]

"Some bad apples in NYC!?" Tell me it ain't so....

[SQUEEDGEY]

People will inevitably ruin it like everything else...

Portal??? Unless you can actually walk through, it aint a portal.

[MacHill-nv]

It’s gonna be a mess when somebody drives their DeLorean into it at 88 mph.😂

[avataraustin]

So your tax payers dollars paid for a gigantic FaceTime 😂😂😂

[Lynx]

Now bring portal to Chicago, watch it end up in someone house.

[totalutternutter]

There is no way this will run for as long as indented.

[SanchoDomingo_]

that thing won't last one week in NYC without getting culturally enriched and probably spray-painted all over

[nicolemonrue]

This is a waste of money. It's just a big ass facetime screen

[cak]

Doesn’t surprise me at all. There are always a few people who are going to ruin things for others.

[tkcentral]

They should do one for all contintinents, that wouod be cool. Like a big zoom call. This is truly social media, not anti social media.

[MGBandit]

I was thinking of more along the line of magical tunnel when i hear “portal”, that’s just a giant web cam 😂

[User_]

Hateful messages and nudity?? The humanity..

[savtelly]

Seems like a giant surveillance camera to me. They’ll tell us anything!!!

[christyann]

Why don't they put down on the southern border so The People can see for themselves who's coming across EVERYDAY!
