P.E.T.O.B.

It seems that our previous entry stirred up some controversy with the fine folks from PETOB (People for the ethical treatment of bathtubs.)

As such, I have prepared the following statement:

There comes a time in every remodel where a fixtures aesthetic and functional purpose is questioned. We carefully researched the viability of using the built in bathtub in the design of the room, but we could not justify it's girth. Having totally scored a claw-foot tub off of Craigslist, the fate of the built-in was quickly sealed. It was truly unfortunate that the tub had to make it's exit in the fashion that it did, but there was simply no way to remove it in one piece. The friggin' (yes, I said friggin') house was built around the thing.

The demolition of the bathtub in the video was not meant to be funny, nor was it meant to inspire the copycat smashings that have plagued our country's bathrooms since the video aired. In fact, the act was never meant to be recorded, let alone put on the internet. We plan to use all of the revenue generated by it's popularity on You-Tube to raise awareness for bathtubs of all shapes, sizes and weights.

Furthermore, to show our dedication to this cause, we plan to uproot any and all flowers and/ or tomatoes planted in old bathtubs used as planter boxes and attempt to return them to full working order. (the tubs, not the flowers [we'll eat the tomatoes])

It is not too late to SAVE OUR BATHTUBS. So if you see me walking down the street, please show your solidarity by shouting the initials of our protest cry out the window of your car:

S.O.B.!!!

(Save our Bathtubs.)

I thank you for your attention to this matter.
