The kids down in Mexico have their fingers crossed that it hits Baja. It would be a treasure trove for them.

The Japanese finally get to invade the U.S.

The beach heads will be codenamed Toyota, Honda and Sony.

Um OK, one would think a waste debris field the size of TX might make the Nightly news, complete with photo evidence.

Very misleading headline. I believe what is meant is a “Texas Sized Debris Field”, which is an awful lot different than “Texas sized Island of Debris.” Just take the stated tonnage from the article and divide that by the square milage of Texas to get a feel for how dispersed the debris really is.

I hope millions and millions of tons of rubbish land smack dab into the pristine coastal waters of California, Oregon and Washington states. Would love to see tons of toxic sewage go into San Fransisco Bay. I loath the people in the left coast, spit.

“Debris field the size of Texas” equates to an extremely sparse debris field. First, only one coastal area of Japan was hit. Second, only the debris taken out to sea counts. Third, only the debris than can float for 2 years counts.

So, what have we got? Probably a bit of plastic every mile or so.

"A floating island of debris the size of Texas has been crossing the vast Pacific Ocean...'

This is a million billion times worse than I could imagine.

LOL

Will Obama demand that Japan set up a $20 billion (US) victim's fund?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Why can’t the EcoTards row out there and clean it up?

[BenLurkin]

We love you too.

Island of debris the size of TEXAS...

There is a rumor that Kevin Costner and Dennis Hopper are trying to battle it out, but they can't find each other, and Hopper is running out of cigarettes.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Is it radioactive?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

What did I do to make you so angry and petulant?

Is all of that a hazmat nightmare headed to the USA?

A soccer ball found on an Alaska island....

And a cheery good morning to you too! ;o)
