Fans of Quentin Tarantino know that he has a foot fetish. For those unfamiliar with the term: it's when a man has a particular fascination with women's legs, and even more so with their feet. It's safe to say that Quentin Tarantino is the most famous foot fetishist in the world.

Let's start with Quentin Tarantino's first real film - Reservoir Dogs (1992). I'm skipping "My Best Friend's Birthday", as it was never officially released.

There's nothing related to foot fetishism in Reservoir Dogs: the film features only tough men. Women appear only briefly in a few background scenes. I found just one scene where a woman is shown in the foreground - the carjacking moment.

At a hotel, there was a sign next to the toilet that said:

Why is this nonsense?

First of all, how exactly do they expect people to flush the toilet less often? Leave urine sitting there so it can stink and create stains and buildup on the bowl?

Secondly, this kind of water conservation can actually make things worse for the environment. I once watched a TV program where sewer system workers explained that people nowadays use less water, which means there is less flow in the sewer pipes. As a result, blockages occur more frequently, waste is carried away less effectively, and maintenance costs increase. In the end, this drives up water prices for consumers. So there is no real financial benefit either.

Workers at wastewater treatment plants have made similar complaints. Because people use less water, treatment facilities receive more concentrated and polluted wastewater. It is harder to process, produces stronger odors, and can cause unpleasant smells to spread for miles around the treatment plants.

There is no real environmental benefit here. It's just the appearance of caring about the environment rather than actually helping it.

In the British zombie flick 28 Years Later, a soldier shows the boy hero a photo on his phone - his girlfriend, all trout pout and fake curves:

For anyone who hasn't seen it: the kid grew up on an island version of Great Britain, locked down hard, zombies roaming everywhere, no real doctors around - so obviously nobody's getting lip fillers or a boob job there. Meanwhile over in Europe, life's carrying on like normal, no zombies in sight.
