Life After People
Just in case any of you guys missed Life After People, which I’m sure you didn’t (you crazy kids with your iPhones and your Facebooks and your History Channels), here are a couple of really cool pictures of what they think Chicago might look like 10,000 years into the post-apocalyptic disinegration of urban civilization.
Stark prediction of the future or just an artist’s rendering of what The Sears Tower might look like if suddenly placed in downtown Detroit? You make the call.
I’ve never taken the Red Line all the way south to Dan Ryan/95th but I have to imagine it looks pretty similar if you take out all of the foilage and add more grafitti.
Immediately outside of the frame in this shot: 17 drunk astronauts with backward visors on and a peanut vendor telling you to save money by buying outside for the low, low price of $64,578 romulacks.
Whoever wins the Comcast SportsNet Menards Groundskeeper For A Day Contest is going to be seriously pissed.
If you look really closely at the scoreboard you will notice the Cubs got swept in the first round of the playoffs for the eleventy billionth year in a row.
I’d also like to mention that tonight is the supposed series finale of Scrubs (although there has been some chatter of it coming back in some form or another next year with different faces?). I was glad it got picked up by ABC so that it didn’t go out soft due to last year’s writer’s strike, but I had my reservations initially. This season has been as comically strong as any though and I’m glad that, if this is in fact the end, the series goes out the way that Bill Lawrence had always intended it to.
It’s a full hour on ABC tonight right before some show about a bunch of jerks who have daddy issues and are stranded on an island together. Well except some of them are in the past and some are in the future. Well, the future in relation to those who are in the past. So really the people who are in the future are in the present. But not like our present. Not 2009 or anything. I think their present is currently supposed to be 2007. So they are all on the island together but seperated by like thirty fucking years. And it totally makes sense. Seriously. I swear it does.
