Fire the Writers! Some Comedies Just Write Themselves
So we ask you to do something, and then you do it too well, so we stop talking to you.
Ecco the City of Vancouver.
For years, the City has been giving an east side neighbourhood trucks and bins to clean up their area. The neighbourhood won awards for their diligence.
Now, the City says that the 'hood is throwing out too much "personal" trash.
Result, the City is taking away the trucks and bins.
In fact, the City is threatening anyone who tries to throw out "unauthorized" garbage" with...wait for it..."a dumping infraction."
A dumping infraction....hahahahahaha....you can't make stuff like this up!
Only the City can satirize itself so successfully.

The only reason I can see why the City got rid of the bins is people got too complacent with just dumping everything, rather than recycling some of it, etc. Rather than just remove the bins, a better approach would have been to give the communities SMALLER bins, and a whole lots to recycling options.
This will bite the City in the ass come 2009, when they realize that the streets are filled with litter for the 2010 games, and how much they'll have to spend to clean it all up.
Eggs-actly!
