One more thing, well.. two.
Don't you think you brought more attention to the "issue" by doing what has been done?
#2 The whole pop can thing was written because it is freaking funny. I haven't done that in years, noone i know has or does it barely ever. Someone from someones work gaves us some and I wasn't going to see it thrown out. In some ways its very cool thing., Brings back fond memories of jamaica, and even some memories of shop class in high school.
The whole fact that it had to be done with a soda can proves the fact that its not a common place thing. And that when around family and friends its a great bonding tool. God wouldn't have put it on the earth if it wasn't meant to be. Although I do agree that some abuse it, as long as you don't treat it as such.. Nothing will make you laugh harder when you see your brother laying on the floor screaming because the ceiling fan is falling.

Sure even I know a kid from my old highschool that wrapped his car around a tree from it but, he died from hitting the tree.
Every couple years + controlled environment + good friends = fun times.
