The Moron Fireplace

First Man had Fire.

Fire would be found in a pit or later a fireplace. With fire came soot and smoke.

Eventually Man put his fireplace behind a pane of glass, eliminating smoke in his dwelling.

And again Man figured out that he could have a fireplace burning gas that did away with smoke and the necessity of building and tending a fire.

Today Man has built a fireplace (The Moron Fireplace) which burns gas with fake logs for the singular purpose of decoration, not heat. Indeed this fireplace (THE MORON FIREPLACE) expels the heat generated by the flickering gas flame OUTSIDE the building. On purpose.

This is excess in living. This is how we know we’re better than those who can’t afford to heat their homes.
