## Oh Joy! Let’s Ruin Another Perfect View
So, Japan, land of ancient tradition, breathtaking beauty, and apparently, a burning desire to actively *eliminate* its own iconic landmarks? Fantastic. Just fantastic. Apparently, the locals in one picturesque town, those bastions of artistic sensibility, have decided that what tourists truly crave – a glimpse of majestic Mount Fuji – is an unacceptable imposition on their…what, exactly? Their tranquility? Their ability to complain about tourists taking pictures?
Because clearly, the solution to too many people enjoying a beautiful view is to build a giant black screen. A *black screen*. As if blocking out sunlight and serenity isn’t already enough of a problem, they’re going for peak aesthetic offensiveness. I can just picture it now: visitors flocking from miles around, not to admire the mountain’s grandeur, but to photograph themselves dramatically weeping in front of this monument to… what? Progress? Practicality? A profound misunderstanding of why people travel?
I’m absolutely *thrilled* for them. They’ve solved a problem! A monumental, non-existent problem that only existed because too many people appreciated something lovely. Because naturally, the best way to preserve beauty is to hide it from view and replace it with an oppressive slab of blackness. It’s almost… poetic in its absurdity.
One can only imagine the town council’s triumphant pronouncements: “We have successfully removed beauty! Tourism will surely plummet! Our collective suffering has been alleviated!” I’m already anticipating a commemorative plaque: “Here stood Mount Fuji. We covered it.” Bravo, Japan. You are truly setting the standard for how to ruin everything.
