A friend and I once had a similar idea-- but ours was a whole planet.
It was a way to laugh off the frozen grimmies. (PWO!)
You could press a little button and the chosen object/person/idea would shrink as it faded up and up and up... into space.... till it got so tiny you just had to assume it had gone onto that planet (which was also invisible).
And as long as you held the button, that's where it would stay, but you could ease up a little and it would come closer..... and then if it got on your ass again you could press harder again.... as long as you cared to keep your attention on it, that is. Sometimes we took turns holding the button down for each other....
Or you could take a tourist bus tour around the planet, and inside the bus everything would be lovely, but outside was all the muck and grimness of things relegated there-- clawing at your bus to go with you and get ON the bus... but the doors never opened, as we saw it back then.
So I'm Tracing this thread for the day I next need to think about that, and letting... it all... go... till I need to revisit "Planet 101."
