Design and art are not the same-a life inspiration story

I love the guys and girls of Designboom. Their selection of good design is definitely there, but this morning when I spotted this 'designs' I was quite surprised about their comments on this story: 
"Garbage cans turned into 'living containers' by philipp stingl". And "Essentially, these 'living containers' 
testify to an active and creative lifestyle for the old age without
 compromises."
Well guys, to be honest. This is an art project, an eye opener about people treated like garbarbage. The homeless, the elderly....
The idea that a designer (someone who shapes use full objects for society)could bring out these containers for real street situations, please!
Again, as a project to let people think about situations and visualize that process in life size objects: great.
Could also work for an ad campaign, statement wise.
