You know all those super awesome illuminations in Tokyo? Roppongi Hills? Takashimaya Times Square? The TV news last week explained it was powered by shit. The government spent millions of dollars to make a waste processing plant that would turn shit into excrement and are testing it on the holiday light surge. That's the feel good of this year for me, really, watching couples fawn over lights powered by their own excrement. PSH. Whatever. You know all those super awesome illuminations in Tokyo?
