WANKERS

Some guy has decided to build a toaster from the ground up.

I mean from mining the materials to making the plastics from oil. All that.

He hopes to show the futility of capitalism. Or something.

As far as I can tell, he is showing the futility of being a wanker.

I, Toaster

I love living in a world that such nonsense can be seriously addressed.

I am right with him on the so-called evils of capitalism but when you come right down to it, I will use my toaster several times a day and to hell with him and his bullshit.

This article does remind me of a wonderful piece of work which I read a few years ago.

I, Pencil which makes the opposite point quite effectively.

Well, as it turns out the pencil probably causes deaths in Uganda as well. Not something that I am going to think about as I jot a note to myself. (In No.2 lead incidentally as the Oriole model shown).

Thanks Andrew Sullivan
