DANG!
Can’t read the story unless I pay them a buck.......
It won’t let me see the article unless I turn off my ad-blocker.
What was the punch-line?
How ‘bout telling those of us who can’t access WaPo what the source of these Garfield phones is.
“What was the punch-line?”
That this Frenchman has far too much time on his hands.

Click bait teaser.
Garfield, in ANY sense, is pollution, a blight on society.
Bottomline:
Garfield phones kept washing up in France. People figured there was a shipping container in the ocean slowly releasing a cache of Garfield phones.
Then, they found the shipping container that had been slowly releasing a cache of Garfield phones.
But it was pretty much empty.
And it was in a cave affected by tides, not exactly in the ocean.
Pretty anti-climactic.
Gaia is not amused by your attitude.

Click bait stories like this one from the compost usually are anti-climatic but they get the clicks so they can charge the advertiser more for the space on their website.
I never click on the compost’s website.

If I’d been finding Garfield parts I think the thing to Be looking for would be the Litter box.
Sea Catfish were producing them, but just couldn’t find a suitable distribution method?
“Search “Zone Rouge”. These are areas so polluted during WWI that are still No-go today. “
While you are right about the no-go zones I don’t think seeding an area with mines and artillery shells is the kind of “pollution” that a shipping container of plastic phones, or burning oil tankers or cities brings to mind. Active munitions are intended to kill. Oil and plastic is not. People still die every year from ordinance expended in the Franko-Prussian war. People occasionally die in the US from munitions dating to the American Civil War. A device intended to kill is not “pollution;” at least not the kind of pollution we normally think of in that word’s context.
“hysterical writers”
Nice. With your permission I’d like to borrow that please.
Stranded, busted-open shipping container in a low-lying cave on a beach somewhere in northwestern France. Presumably, the tide would come in and pluck Garfield pieces out of the container from time to time.
