You Know You Want This Dumpster.

December 16, 2011

I know I do. I bet it’s a spaceship, too. And a time machine.

On a totally different note, it’s always bothered me that AP style requires “Dumpster” to be capitalized. Sure, it’s a brand name, but it’s a container for garbage — does it really deserve that kind of journalistic regard? Yeah, I guess. Maybe that’s the one thing that will remain stable in this downward spiral of an industry. Good thing I now have the means to travel through space and time to escape this trash can of an economy, hooray!
