"A 'sewage swimming vacation' is a completely fictional concept, meaning a vacation where someone would intentionally swim in water contaminated with sewage..."
Southern California cannot catch a break. Fires still burning in Los Angeles, former World Surf League CEO Erik Logan celebrating his birthday in the South Bay and now Laguna Beach entirely closed after tens of hundreds of thousands of sewage just spilled into the Pacific.
The cause of this unfortunate disaster appears to be a break in a sewer main line near a park in Laguna Niguel that spewed 465,000 gallons of waste into the aforementioned waters.
Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley declared, “I urge Orange County residents, visitors, and tourists to heed public health experts’ warnings and continue avoiding the closed beaches in Laguna Beach while the Health Care Agency conducts water quality tests.”
Surfline is currently reporting the artist’s haven is experiencing 0-1ft surf in the “poor to fair” range though is expecting a “fun” pulse of northwest swell to arrive beginning tomorrow.
It likely won’t be as “fun” when colored brown and smelling of toilet.
Real quick, though. Google, as you have certainly seen, has rolled out its AI generated information at the top of any search. I just attempted to find the clip of Ed Helms and Christina Applegate bathing in sewage in the 2015 remake of National Lampoon’s Vacation and typed “sewage swimming vacation.
The bot informed me:
A “sewage swimming vacation” is a completely fictional concept, meaning a vacation where someone would intentionally swim in water contaminated with sewage, which is highly dangerous and not recommended due to the serious health risks involved; swimming in sewage-polluted water can lead to infections like gastroenteritis, skin irritation, ear infections, and potentially more severe illnesses depending on the level of contamination.
How stupid is that?
Here, anyhow, is the clip. Enjoy.

Lol@ the clip of “Vacation” and the story of the search behind the clip. AI searches are throwing out some funny stories, here and there.
How could the Republicans of Orange County let this happen etc.
may hell reign down on them…
these people~
It was the dems fault… Its always the dems fault.
Things in SoCal just keep getting shittier!
(someone had to say it)
Congrats to Team Japan, winning Backdoor Shootout 2025!
Surf news is for other surf websites, while BG satiates us with shitty articles.
Eddie gives one of the most real interviews in years, on any platform, regardless of if what he said is right or wrong or batshit or legit, and crickets from Chas and DR. Biggest fucking softball they’ll get in years and not even a swing.
Highlights. Didn’t realise that Japan won. They got some sick waves in their heat.
How has no one thought about using the sewage systems to spray down LA? It’s not as if the health complications would differ.
Airborne shit particles will definitely help the air quality for the surrounding areas.
only 5 microns or less.
orange cty already does dat~reclaim shit~
