Ah, plastic!

Oct 30th, 2007 by bornfamous

Come see our giant toxic stew! / 1,500 miles wide, floating in the Pacific, made of all your plastic crap. Bring the kids!

Have you heard? Did you see? It’s called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (or Pacific Trash Vortex, among other awesome nicknames) and it’s a staggering phenomenon indeed and after reading up on it, I fully believe we must now revise our master list. Because surely this thing must be one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, the grand sociocultural melting pot of our time. Except for the fact that it’s, you know, revolting.

    Well, the terrorist list article was pretty interesting too. That aside; I’d not heard about the Pacific Garbage Path before… That’s pretty horrifying.

    Lavonne; glad you’re safe from the fires.
