America: the beautiful, the bad and the ugly


The beauty of the suburbs is that you're not stuck without a place to say, buy condoms in an emergency and you can often see the stars. The bad thing about the suburbs is that you're stuck. The good thing about the car is that it enables us to travel far distances in order to say, have sex (and experience scenes such as the one in this famed Ruscha photo). The bad thing about the car, besides oil, is that it relegates us to our individual, private spheres (and makes us lazy and fat, thus creating the need for more roadside Waffle Houses--a vicious yet delicious cycle). Road trip anyone?
