But the dead bodies floating in the river are ok? They throw their dead and defecate in the same river, at the same place they bathe and brush their teeth.
I guess the plus side is the disease helps keep the population down.

I have absolutely no doubt about the numbers.
I once stumbled across a Chinese student’s blog on the web. He posted dozens of photos of his visit in India.
Now, I realize that China still isn’t the most developed nation on earth, but what took me aback was this guy’s surprise and outrage over the bad public hygiene—he spoke as a Westerner, from a position of Western standards. He was *really* outraged and surprised this happened.
He was astonished that the “sacred” Ganges had piles of human defecation covering the riverbanks, the degree of public nudity during the act, and photos showed bodies (BODIES!) floating down the (sacred?) Ganges. Yeah, bodies.
Nobody bothered to retrieve them, let alone notice them.
And the photos of the “piles” were astonishing. It showed India as a helluva backward country, and it was SHAMEFUL. Even our medieval...no, DARK AGE ancestors didn’t live like this. And India can launch satellites...can you believe it?
I may scrounge up the link.
Sauron, lately, of Mordor (where we dig slit trenches, at the very least).
This Public Service Announcement brought to you by the Morder Visitors Bureau. Come visit Mordor. Bring the family!

I believe that Mumbai and Mexico City are two places on Earth where you can actually measure atmospheric fecal matter.

"That is hilarious. I need to rent one of those costumes for Earth day." Well if the costume rental shop is out of them when you go you can always try for Mr. Scrotum. Of course if you live in San Francisco it might be hard to get as well.

Theres a local mexican restaurant I quit going to after I witnessed one of the waitstaffs kids outside taking a crap in the street.
Never went there again.
When India's done with the mascot, he can come work games in Minnesota at Target Field.

I came across that blog as well. Very disturbing images. I am amazed that a Black Death type epidemic hasn’t broke out in that part of the world yet.
To: Mad Dawgg
That IS disgusting and disturbing.
Do you know anything about the history and/or purpose of that “character”?

Third world people have Third world ways and Third world problems. Turd world people, turd world ways and turd world problems in this case.

Probably the worst place in the world for him to reside, given their love of soccer.
