Now They Think That Pyramids Made From Human Skulls Is A Wonder Rather Than An Aberration...

"The New 7 Wonders of the World organizers say the contest was a chance to level the global cultural playing field and recognize the achievements of societies outside Europe and the Middle East.

"Never before in history have so many people participated in a global decision," Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank said at the presentation."

Did YOU vote? I never even heard of the thing. Among the 7 Blunders of the World you'll find, "Peru's Machu Picchu, the mountain settlement that symbolizes the Incan empire; Mexico's Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza."

How wonderful. Lasting tributes to some of the most depraved societies the world has ever seen, one's that contributed nothing to the human experience outside of instructions on how to slice out a still-beating human heart.
