Nuclear Power Plants as Amusement Parks: An Overview

After the 1979 partial meltdown at Three-mile Island in Pennsylvania, Disney theme park designer Art Riley jokingly proposed repurposing the site as an amusement park - seen here in this concept art found recently on Ebay. Good news: meltdown was contained. Bad news: fun park wasn’t built. But…

Years later, for reasons I’m too lazy to research, a German power company abandoned their nuclear plant before its completion – and someone over there thought giant cooling towers could make a cool fun park too – and this time they build it. Kernie’s Familienpark, is what it’s called, but they painted the tower with a mountain scene instead of a big smiley face with a bow-tie – and inside is just a rock climbing wall. Not a single attraction celebrating the atom.

It sells for $75 at Karmaloop. It’s from CLH, which, according to UrbanDictionary.com is an acronym for Creating Limitless Heights, and describes CLH as: “A tight ass urban clothing line worn by none other than Cash Money himself. The hoodies they do be so fresh to def dat dem bitches be all up on you like stank on sheeeit.”

I don’t know who Cash Money is and I don’t need bitches up on me like stank on sheeeit, I just think the hoody is pretty.

The Dead Serious Hoody is Fierce

I thought this sweatshirt was retarded until I saw the eyes wern’t solid but cut out areas of black mesh AND it glows in the dark - now I think it’s hawt. I would so wear this when I go biking at night. They’re $260 and I’d like a large. My birthday is the 16th.
