One reads about a resident from Brooklyn’s unusual world record:
Scott Wiener of Brooklyn has amassed 595 pizza boxes from 45 countries. Just think of all the pizza he’s gotten to eat! Inspired by a beautiful box he found in Israel, Wiener started seriously collecting in 2008. He prizes his boxes from other countries, and one in particular is his favorite: a box from the Netherlands that “looks almost-but-not-really like Bart and Homer Simpson,” Wiener said in a press release. (Check out an image of it here.) “I remember shrieking when I saw it,” Wiener said. “It’s amazing.”
What do you think? Is Scott’s project a great accomplishment or bizarre undertaking? (I’ll say great accomplishment – there’s some impressive artwork he’s found among those boxes.)
Everyone needs a hobby 🙂
Those pizza boxes are definitely works of pop art; popular culture artifice, for sure. While we take our everyday culture for granted, future civilizations will marvel at our mindset.
Not bad. There is some good stuff there.
