Oh, and while we're talking about water, if anyone wants to listen to a rap song about global politics of water, listen to "New World Water" by Mos Def. Can a rap about water be cool? It can. Mos Def done did it. "The rich and poor, black and white got need for it/And everybody in the world can agree with this/Consumption promotes health and easiness/Go too long without it on this earth and you leavin it/Americans wastin it on some leisure shit/And other nations be desperately seekin it"

This was the dumbest thing I've read about in a long time, and I read about Jerry Falwell just last week. This guy is about as annoying as wine snobs. I'm gonna have my dinner with tap water and two buck chuck tonight.

And the piling heaps of unrecycled plastic pair perfectly with this guys puckered a-hole, "lifestyles of the rich and famous" shallow aesthetic.

I really wish someone would subject this guy to a blind taste test. Have him taste 10 different waters and see if he really can tell the difference. Then point and laugh when what he thinks is high mineral-content Apollinaris reserve, is actually tap water from Paramus, NJ...from [i]improperly-maintained pipes![/i]

I wonder what his preferences are for ice. Cubes, chips, shaved? I need guidance, my naturally carbonated high mineral content Romanian is getting bruised in the sunlight.

While I read this story, 13 people in east Africa and Central Asia died of thirst. And I died of humiliation. Oh wait, this whole story is a joke, right? You got me good!

Kevin, right on the money. Btw, I'm selling bottles of fragranced airs, eau de sweaty butt is this season's top seller.

Clearly, no one has had a soft low mineral content rain water with sashimi or sushi.

This is disturbing...and highly mockable - but disturbing nonetheless. This guy needs to get a real job already and stop being a hack for those creeps who wish to privatize water - a resource that is every human being's birthright. Water is not the new wine, coffee, or tea. And it is really SICK to fetishise this life-giving resource like it was some cheap piece of food porn. No - not just sick: unethical.

I agree, extreme hilarity. Makes me wish there really were an air craze for my amusement.

Excuse me? F'reals? Everyone knows that air is the new water. A deep lungfull of Donegal morning sea breeze taken between March 3rd and April 12th (after peak peat burning season, but before the grass cutting starts in ernest) is the perfect companion to a nice bit of caerphilly and a brace of poached plover's eggs. Or am I just mad?
