 re: "enfetishment of the inanimate"/things as non-human actants


 the russian engineer dimitrij schurin has invented a talking vodka bottle. in 
 its cap there's a language-chip, a clock and a battery. when you open the 
 bottle it first asks you to pour in. later there are also laughing and 
 screaming women-voices, and the chips adds some sounds typical for 
 alcohol-driven feasts. also toasts like "to our parents". this actant can be 
 used alone or in groups.
