Why It Is Possible to Walk on a Lava Flow (But You Still Shouldn't) | Wired Science | Wired.com:

There’s been some buzz about a video of a fellow “running up a lava flow.” Normally, Wired Science blogger Erik Klemetti would ignore videos of people doing dumb things, but he realized that although this guy did run up the lava flow, it actually wasn’t as crazy as it seems. DISCLAIMER: This isn’t to say you should ever do what this guy did.

Love Fashion Hate Sweatshops:

We love fashion. But the clothes we buy in the UK come at a terrible cost. Millions of workers around the world suffer poverty wages and exploitation, producing cheap fashion for our shops. This can’t go on. We demand a fashion industry that respects workers’ rights. Our government must act now to protect the people who make our clothes.

How do you feel about this? What about the Favela Tours in Brazil? Is it the same? What do you think?

micropolisnyc:

Until recently, European tourists seeking poverty-porn have been crowding onto buses to ride through “a real New York City ‘GHETTO,’” i.e., the Bronx.

The controversy that erupted over the tour caused the operator, Real Bronx Tours, to drop it today.

But the NY Post tagged along last week as one tour guide, Lynn Battaglia,made snide comments and gazed at impoverished locals.

As the bus idled across from historic St. Ann’s Episcopalian Church, Battaglia launched into a description of the crime, poverty and violence that plagued the South Bronx during the 1970s recession.

As she spoke, a line of two dozen poor people — including one man visibly agitated by the onlookers — waited for handouts from the church pantry.

“I don’t know what that line’s about, but every Wednesday we see it,” Battaglia told the tourists. “We see them go in with empty carts, and we see them come out with carts full.”

Bronx Borough President slammed Real Bronx Tours last week:

“To have foreigners come and gawk at a long line of people who are less fortunate than they are and to make money off of that and to view them as they are some sort of entertainment is pretty disgusting.”
