The Gross Jar Comes to the People!

Today, London votes to decide who will be its mayor for the next four years. The process gets a bad rep in the city, but not everyone in the world gets to choose who will fail them as a leader. We should count ourselves lucky.

In celebration of this great day for democracy, the Gross Jar (the abominable glass jar we've been filling with horrible stuff for the past four weeks) will be joining you on the streets to partake in a little democracy of its own. That’s right, for a few hours today, the Gross Jar will be open to the public!

The Gross Jar will be down near City Hall waiting for you people to wander along and submit your own, awful contributions to the Jar, like some kind of disgusting, foul-smelling ballot box.

Here's a list of what's currently inhabiting the deplorable ecosystem of the Jar:

The Gross Jar’s current deplorable contents

-    Piss
-    Human shit
-    Vomit
-    Phlegm
-    Rotten vegetables
-    Drain hair

-    Fish heads
-    Lamb intestines
-    A chicken's foot
-    Durian (Asian “stink fruit”)
-    Human teeth

-    A Biro

See you somewhere near City Hall, happy polling day!

Follow @joshuahaddow who will be fervently livetweeting about the Gross Jar from somewhere near City Hall that isn't close enough to City Hall that security guards will start hassling us.

PS, if you’re not from London, sorry you’re missing out. Maybe we should bring the Gross Jar to your town? Let us know.
