Video games: Have you tried "the Pindia challenge"?

Agent 3 is usually so engrossed in watching airliner disaster porn that he doesn't have time for trivia like video games, but reports that he's been having fun with The Pindia Challenge. It's a game you can play on Google Maps -- no downloads or other software needed.

How to play: Put your cursor on any location in India -- anywhere at all -- zoom in and select "street view". The goal is to find an area completely free of trash, rubble, garbage or excrement. It’s almost impossible to win on the first try.


But surely (Walt hears you speculate) all of India can't be like this? I dunno. I've only been to Mumbai and Delhi, and I saw street scenes far worse than this. [We will not post photos of people -- women as well as men -- defecating on the ground beside rows of porta-potties. Ed.] Play the game and see what you find.

And then... tell me why we expect that when we allow migrants from places like this to come and live amongst us, they will behave any differently than they do at home.
