I think that not only should this be real… everything about it is a scathing reminder of the evils of consumerism… and since we are a disgustingly wasteful society… keep up with the Jones’

Don’t get it.

Wait, “biting public criticism” ?

Nope. Still don’t get it.

Nick – actually I am a 22 yr old white female (of an average 5′5 height…not that it matters does it?) with a BID and just like you, paying it all back to those evil student loan companies. and I must admit your posting did incite some anger ( whether it meant to or not). your comment came across very arrogant and snobbish (”you think thats rich? oh you silly american”). I did look up chav, and reviewing the wiki page (not the most reliable source, if you think there’s a better link share it) it is the equivalent to a “wigger”. also…Kanye west is a joke to hip hop, he is an egotistical womanizer that equates himself with christ. no wonder everyone keeps saying hip hop is dead. now, my response was quite snippy and mean-spirited no doubt, so I apologize and hope we can get back to the stuff that really matters and the real reason we’re on this site.

Well well J, you’re a very angry (and assuming) little man aren’t you? No, I’m not rich, don’t own a car, had a free school education, am currently paying my own way through architecture school and am a pretty big fan of a number of African American artists, such as Kanye West. I am however white though, I hope that’s okay by you?

Anyway, I’m afraid you’ve obviously not got much of a handle on what a chav is, it’s nothing to do with black culture or being a “wigger”. Try googling it again and reading some of the stuff you find.

And my first comment wasn’t an attack on anyone or a comment on how the UK sees Americans, it was simply surprise that something that seems so highly prized in the US is actually nowadays so badly thought of in its home country…

and by the way, a chav is not the equivalent of trailer trash, not even close. they are called “wiggers” here, go ahead and google that. and judging from your disdain for the chavs and wiggers, I would have to assume you are the equivalent of the American “preppy” or “yuppie” – a self-important, rich, white person who only has a good time driving some expensive car and putting down others who don’t have a rich mommy and daddy. oh, and also hates hip-hop and african american culture, or urban culture as we call it here. but I digress….this is hardly the place for such a discussion.

really Nick…interesting. then please do not inform us of what the rest of the UK sees Americans as then. actually it doesn’t matter, we already know. thankfully, I’m not one of the comformist losers who needs a brand to qaulify my existence.

Burberry? Hahahahaha… If it signifies being rich in the US you should really have a look at who wears it in the UK! Just google “burberry” and “chav”…

NB a chav is essentially the English version of your trailer trash…

I don’t get it. What statement are they making? By making ugly garbage containers look ‘decent’, that’s supposed to say they’re poking fun at the rich?

A little esoteric? But then again, so are all these far fetched artistic navel gazing bs.

I think all three options are great, it spreads it out! You have the Burberry representing the excessively rich, the American flag representing america and the right (who often think Americans can do no wrong) and the green palms option, for the seeming eco-freindly Socal resident who talks the talk, but still consumes execessive amounts of trash. I think it is extremely fair. Nice Job Heavy Trash!

am – you know, we aren’t the only ones in this world making a mess. besides, making fun of the posh luxury brands like burberry is more in tune with the satirical message – poking fun at the excessive consumerism of the insanely rich in LA.

Why not do it with an American Flag
just makes their point hit even harder that
we as a nation are a bunch of over consuming gluttons
