Unless they used real copper pennies, the copper veneer will eventually rub off and expose the zinc interiors. And though it looks quite attractive, I would think that the letters and other features of the coins would collect that sticky black dirt that is difficult to clean.
Apparently the moderator is very easily confused and offended by satirical remarks, so I will just humbly say that outsourcing like this is just a way to rid oneself of taking responsibility for one's own.
It is even cheaper in Somalia. My mother became a burden and difficult to endure because of her stories of the sixties, so I sent her to a home there. Once a month I send her a postcard, and since the cards are never returned, I know that she is still alive. Costs: $35 a month, plus a quarter for the card. We may ship some other relatives there who have cerebral palsy and are a pain to care for.
First, Axe and that sort of stuff is an idiotic waste of money. A bar of carbolic cleans better, and smells better. I thought metrosexuality was dead? I imagine that Axe appeals to guys who are unsure of their sexuality, but want to smell pretty, and are hoping that by using Axe they can somehow both wash the gayness away and yet somehow secretly delight in it.
Second, sure there are wanton dorm women, but most aren't. Ads like this reinforce the stereotype of the dorm slut.
Probably fake, yes, but there are still schools that are banning books, and there is pressure on public libraries to shed themselves of certain books because some bluenose ignoramus doesn't want people reading what they are afraid to read. Let's say that I am some white trash sort from Alaska, the mayor of a small town. Why, I might just march into the "liberry" and threaten, obliquely, the librarian if she doesn't remove certain books from the shelves.
*sneeer* This guy gets honored for this, and all poor ol' little Ed Gein got was a life sentence to the nuthouse.
I was thinking about donating my body to the med school here, but if this is what happens, then forget it: skin to artists, bones to the pet store, organs to the soup kitchen. The med school brochure: "Your body will be treated with the respect that it deserves". Meanwhile, some effete poseur is eating stew from my bowl-skull under an umbrella made from my skin.
"Remember too that, in the ST timeline, the initial progress (warp drive) came about AFTER a decades long global genetic war (remember Khan?), which resulted in a much reduced, and humbled, planetary population."
I forgot that part. So maybe there is hope for the future.
At current fertility rates, the Earth's population will be 134 trillion by 2300. More sober projections suggest that the US alone will have over a billion by 2100.
A Star Trek future? I predict either a Soylent Green future, or a Road Warrior one.

The Guinea Pigs look better in their own natural fur than in these outfits.
