I swear I'm gonna be dehydrated by the the time I finish posting this article I've been vomiting so hard. *BLAAAAR!* Well at least it's just Pop Tarts now.

Enough fat to fill nine double-decker buses is being removed from sewers under London's Leicester Square.


A team of "flushers" equipped with full breathing apparatus has been drafted in with shovels to dig out an estimated 1,000 tonnes of putrid fat.

The build-up is the result of years of "sewer abuse" - when anything other than water, human waste and toilet paper is put down drains - according to Thames Water.

"We couldn't even access the sewer as it was blocked by a four-foot wall of solid fat."

That. is. disgusting. Really makes you appreciate your career choice, doesn't it? I don't care how bad things are, at least you're not a subterranean shit shoveler. Also, where the f*** is guy's breathing apparatus?! That's a case of turd lung just waiting to happen.

Hit the jump for one more shot of guy showing off a shovelful of treasure.

    Mechanically separated chicken THAT'S BEEN EXTRUDED INTO THE TOP OF A CARDBOARD BOX. Mmmm, start opening the BBQ packets! There's more: because it's crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be refla... / Continue →
