Garbage Nazis

Apparently, the garbage nazis have won the contract in Seattle.  To remind you, here were some of their proposals in their bid for the contract:

If [CEO Chris] Martin is allowed to implement what he calls "my best
idea, my get-people-riled-up thing," we could all soon be subject to a
kind of garbage audit, too. He wants to bring the equivalent of the
red-light camera to your front curb. Just as the traffic camera
captures you running through a stoplight, CleanScapes' incriminating
photos would catch you improperly disposing of a milk carton. (It
belongs in the recycling bin.)

He also has advocated mandatory waster audits, whatever those are.  This is the choice that libertarians face every day -- we can either vote for a party that wants to listen to our phone calls or the party that wants to search our garbage.  Put a pizza carton in the recycling, you spend a night in the box.  Put a milk carton in the trash, you spend a night in the box.

It's never too early to start google bombing the company's home page:  Garbage Nazis

What's google bombing?

By associating the term "garbage nazis" with this company's web site via a link, he's hoping that, when people search Google for "garbage nazi", this company is the top result. I'm not sure if the converse is true; when people search for this company, will all the "garbage nazi" posts show up?

Why is Chris Martin trying to do this in Seattle? Isn't London one of the most polluted places on earth? There is a rumor that when you blow your nose after breathing London air, the junk that comes out is black. It's true, hand to god.

Furthermore, Seattle isn't that bad!! I mean of all the places...

Also, it must be easy for someone who probably doesn't even buy his own groceries, let alone sort his recycling to impose such a thing on people who don't even live in the same country as him!
