Fake Butter-Boobs-N-Trees -- Not Necessarily Better Than The Real Thing! // Current

http://www.greenwala.com/community/blogs/all/1867-Fake-Butter-Boobs-N...

The word "REAL" has almost become an antiquated notion as we continue pushing forward into a culture of bloated, insatiable mass consumption. As it turns out, we kinda dig fake stuff. This fact comes in handy to scientists who are now singing the praises of mega fly swatter like objects called "synthetic trees." They claim that forests of these eyesores will be the answer to all of our excess atmospheric carbon dioxide woes, but it's hard to imagine the general population ever snubbing the real thing.

- I kinda like those giant fly-swattery things.
  
  The place I work uses an enormous amount of energy and, in return, pumps out an enormous amount of crap. While they shouldn't be mixed in with a natural landscape, I do think that every industrial estate should have a wind turbine and a fly-swat-tree.

  Thanks for the laugh -- is your comment an indication that plastic boobs cause temporary liquification of the brain? ;) I suppose that real ones have can have that effect as well, but if they're gargantuan, I hear that they can be filled with concrete and men really won't be that phased.
