Skins – Underage kids doing above-the-age stuff.
[No logo yet]
Trash:NYC – Old me, sifting through garbage in plain sight of people.
Freaky similar plotlines, right?
Season 1 / Episode 1: COLLEGE TRASHY
First day of shooting and I found one of NY’s finest. I believe this can is one of the ’05 models.
Location: 3rd and 12th – right in front of the NYU dorm building.
Day/Time: Presidents’ Day / Afternoonish
Observation: Since it was a long holiday weekend the spoiled kids weren’t around to litter the can.
Cost of viewable trash:
Gourmet coffee – $3.49
Poland Spring – $1.42
Gatorade – $4.48
Total: $9.39
Final assessment: Sadly since it was a holiday I found no evidence of fun in the trash: condoms, drugs, alcohol, etc.
Sorry. I’m hoping for a stronger episode 2.
I'm sure you'll find those items on the subway train.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I found the new show disturbing. I guess I am finally getting old and realize I am worried about my children.
ReplyDelete"I’m hoping for a stronger episode 2."
ReplyDeleteso am i!
of course, if you wanna save time, i could just send you a picture of the contents of my own trash can.
At least you tried
ReplyDeleteI love this realhard. The holiday episode: Dumpster Diving!
ReplyDeleteHahaha Holiday Dumpster diving, oh wow.
ReplyDeletei totally see you winning an Emmy for this...LOL
ReplyDeleteDiggin' in the bin...OMG!!!
ReplyDeletethats nasty, btw fellow nycer here
ReplyDeleteCant wait for # 2. hope there is some good shit.
ReplyDeleteThat just sucks that you couldn't find anything good.
ReplyDeleteNYU dorm isn't a bad idea, but those kids are educated enough to a) not dump in their own yard or b) put the drugs, condoms, etc in an old ritz box or something less suspicious. You need to be more thorough, sir, or just go to central park. But if you use those drugs be ready to be a rent stereotype.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHahaha so random.
ReplyDeleteWell, hello Random! LOL I like it, though. Holy hell stuff in NY is expensive!
ReplyDeleteThat's some expensive trash there. I bet episode 2 features some mystery item, like a box, or a glove.
ReplyDeletelol wow thats what i thought @megan. 4.48 for gatorade??
ReplyDeletecool post tho man, looking forward to episode 2
Hahaha! That was a really, really exciting episode! You had some AWESOME finds! I will be sure to tune in next time. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is funny!
ReplyDeleteI don't want to be a nitpicker (spelling?) but for the Skins picture you used, you used the British cast not the American. I'm only pointing that out because the original (British) Skins is AWESOME and the American/MTV version is the worst piece of garbage ever. I'd recommend watching the British Skins, it's on Netflix.
That's all!
You have to take into account the recession!!
ReplyDeleteA nice pilot episode though!
ReplyDeleteThat was brilliant!!! Made my day!
ReplyDeleteWait...they are filiming a US version of Skins? Really?!?
Cheers!
Your dedication to your readers is indeed noteworthy
ReplyDeleteHopefully the pilot isn't cancelled and replaced with an unfunny Tyler Perry sitcom before the show can gain viewership.
ReplyDeletePlease don't find any bodies!!!
ReplyDeleteA person could make some money on that trash...
ReplyDeleteI could move there and recycle for a living.
You are without a doubt the most inventive person I know...
