Continuing the series from VBS.tv's TOXIC-Garbage Island series. Contains some vulgar language. They finally actually do something, but they are still just as annoying. Yet, part 9 starts to nail it.

I like the message and I like seeing it first-hand but man, I'm really angry that Mr. Potty Mouth - in his quest to be 'cool' - has really destroyed the potential use of this documentary to reach two very large audiences: children and adults sensitive to gratuitous use of the f-bomb.

Agreed, who is he marketing this too? NY Emo art jerkoffs? It loses a lot in terms of credibility and informative power by this pointless and rather poor attitude. The latter episodes are much better, though the cussing is still ever prevalent.
