Spoiled - The Fridges have Something to Say

Tom Varisco has compiled a great little book of, well, "spoiled" refrigerators, exiled to the curb in the aftermath of Katrina as residents began to return home weeks after the storm. Many were quick to make use of these modern monoliths with a can of spray paint and a wide range of emotions, from anger at nature ("KATRINA, YOU BITCH") to anger at the government ("SMELLS LIKE FEMA") to even sarcastic humor ("ONLY A FOOL WOULD OPEN THIS. I WAS THAT FOOL!). You can check it out and buy copies online here on the author's web site.
