Bongs & Cultural Appreciation [Musings]
31.12.69
Cultural appropriation is, for lack of a better word, weird. An indisputable part of our cultural milieu, the lines have been blurred in an increasingly global world until origins and intent are nearly invisible. So when I read about how Israeli gas marks have been appropriated by Americans in order to smoke Marijuana , I thought it was interesting, to say the least, that a necessity in one nation could become a luxury in another: we’ve taken these instruments of war and recast them as pleasure.
I’m not sure if what’s happening is offensive or hilarious. I would be inclined to say the latter, but I know there are others who would disagree. And with good reason. By taking something indicative of something so serious in another culture and reframing it as a lark, one, however inadvertently, decreases the potency of that symbol. A friend of mine grew heated in her discussion of how dreadlocks, a symbol of Jamaican freedom and resistance, were being worn by whites trying to “express themselves”. I can definitely see that for the group whose culture is being appropriated, such acts can be considered offensive.

Sam Newman has courted controversy by lighting up a bong filled with tea on The Footy Show. Newman lit the device and then acted as if he were using it, coughing theatrically as co-host Garry Lyon assured the audience it was filled with tea.
Whereas a lot of bongs and bubblers have a removable stem running down into the water from the bowl, this design eliminates that and has a reinforced glass tube leading directly to the lower chamber of the Vapor Tube, where the diffusion occurs.
