Tourists deported for crapping in Macchu Picchu and damaging the stonework

Tourists. They just can’t shit in their own nests.

Still minor compared to the ad agency J Walter Thompson, who shot a beer commercial at the site and ended up dropping a 1000lb crane on the Intihuatana, a unique monument, damaging it.

There’s some debate over whether the use of a crane was authorized or not. The director of the local branch of the National Institute of Culture said that the filmmakers had been specifically told not to use a crane, but decided to sneak one in anyway. J Walter Thompson claimed in a letter that they had all the required permits. On the other hand, their letter also says that they “damaged a ballpoint-pen-sized fragment of the Intihuatana”, a misrepresentation apparently intended to make the damage sound trivial. In reality, they didn’t damage a ‘fragment’ of the monument; they damaged the stone itself, carving a ballpoint-pen-sized gash out of it.

It turns out that the reason we can’t have nice things is beer commercials.

The authorities were caught between a rock and a hard place to get to. Either rebrand the site as Mucho Poopoo - or nip the practice in the butt. Tourist should be issued with doggie bags and warned to take their shit with them when they leave. Prollem solved.

People wonder why I’m so opposed to advertising on the Moon…

Why does the human species create so many of these brain-damaged soul-dead overgrown juvenile delinquent buttheads? Why are there are so many “people” who can’t imagine NOT deliberately ruining things? And why is it not legal to cut off their fingers?
