Agreed. But that doesn't justify making it sound like there's a Mexico garbage barge out there.

"Mexico garbage barge" sounds like it be a great band name.

This post is either meta or deja-vu... I swear someone commented this last week.

If the average reader imagines a dense raft of plastic bags and water bottles the size of Mexico, it's a bad headline.
