During My Day...

I check Vice Magazine pretty often. It's a mecca of hipster fashion do's and dont's, serious journalism and just weird and funky things. So I stay pretty entertained between fifteen minute bouts of homework. Today, however, I found a VBS (Vice TV) series on Garbage Island, a patch of trash the size of Texas floating in the Pacific Ocean between San Francisco and Hawaii. It's called Toxic and I'm only halfway through episode one and I realized that I had to post this. Unbelievable. No, wait, totally believable but mind blowing that it's NOT unbelievable.

"There's so much that individuals... you know they get inundated, inundated, inundated and yet something really significant like the Gyre, nobody knows about it. I mean if we didn't have this boat and some people, who would ever tell us about it? It's in the middle of nowhere, why would it effect us? It's in the middle of nowhere and we don't see it. And if we don't see it, it doesn't exist" (episode 3).

Here is the first episode:

There are twelve episodes in all, and can be found here. Too bad we can't blame everything on the Commies anymore. Thanks McCarthy.
