Since we picked up and moved the Philebrity HQ to Fishtown nearly a year ago, one of the things we’ve been maddeningly infuriated by on a daily basis is the Choad Class’ cavalier attitude towards littering here. Old people do it. Young kids do it. People driving their cars while beating their kids, talking on the phone and blasting Eminem — seriously, people actually listen to Eminem up here — somehow manage to do it. And the single most littered object in the whole ‘hood? No, silly, it’s not HUMAN SOULS, but there is plenty of that, to be certain. It’s actually Arctic Splash Iced Tea containers. We’ve remarked on this before — and there’s even been an art project devoted to it — but after a while, it’s not even cute. It’s fucking moronic and self-hating and basically violates the social contract of living in a city that even these fucking mouth-breathers, on some level, must understand. And lucky day: If they don’t, there is now in the City of Philadelphia a $150 fine if you’re stupid enough to get caught discarding your Splash over your shoulder like you’re friggin’ Vinnie Barbarino (or his pregnant teen sister). So next time, my white-teed, Methfaced friend, give a think before you chuck your drink. This has been a public service message from Philebrity.
KYW: Fuck It, Don’t Chuck It; Put It In A Bucket!
