we haven’t been to see WALL-E yet, but indulge me here for a moment.

From what I understand, a large part of the plot is tied to the fact that Earth is unlivable because of humanity’s consumptive practices…as in, there’s trash everywhere.

So why is it that everywhere I go, I see WALL-E trash? Toys, pencils, clothes, action figures, fruit snacks?! Isn’t that sort of ironic? Missing the point, maybe?
