Last Friday, some artist spent 8 hours in front of on lookers in Time Square carving a one-ton block of cheddar cheese into an homage to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. To me, this seems to signal a new trend of the decline in the traditional blowing-crap-up-idness of America's Independence Day celebrations. Does this mean that fireworks are on the way out? For the Native American's sake, I hope not. I don't think their economy can handle the shift in demand.
P.S. That security guard looks like he wants to celebrate America's independence by showing a little get-that-mutha-f###ing-cheese-iousness.
