The Onion Skewers This Blog (sort of)

23 July, 2011
There's an article up at The Onion that neatly skewers the whole concept of looking for beauty in the ruins of modern America. The headline pretty much sums it up:

Artists Announce They've Found All The Beauty They Can In Urban Decay

"These modern ruins speak to the very heart of the human condition, but at this point every last inch of Detroit and Oakland has been documented in photographs, on film, or as part of a multimedia installation," said artist Devon Gerhart, who told reporters that devoting so much time to contemplating the wounded grandeur of blighted cityscapes had led him to the point where he just wanted to see the places cleaned up.


Point, taken, The Onion; from here out I'll just post cemetery pictures and articles about Día de los Muertos.
