on the delicate politics of frozen fish
This might just be my favorite New York Times article ever: Aquarium on Ice, a Lure for Skaters in Japan, Appalls Them Instead.
Too many golden quotes, can’t decide which to tweet/cross-stitch upon a pillow to preserve forever, but these are the top contenders:
“It was hard to quibble with the park…”
“We deeply apologize to all who had unpleasant feelings about the ice aquarium…”
“It may also use the dead sea creatures as fertilizer.”
And..
“The park also placed photographs of larger fish, like whale sharks, under the ice.”
