London Gay Men’s Chorus have serenaded a 130 tonne ball of fat found in the city’s sewers, because it’s 2018.

The discovery of the fatberg in September 2017 grossed the entire world out. Everywhere from Japan to Mexico reported on the monstrosity, discovered in a Victorian sewer in Whitechapel like some sort of Lovecraftian horror we’ve awakened from a thousand year slumber.

The entity was made of wet wipes, diapers/nappies, fat and oil. It stretched to 250 meters long and weighs 130 ton, which is the same as 11 double-decker buses.

In an effort to remind the disgusted and disgusting residents of London what we’ve done, the Museum of London put a piece of it on display in February 2018. Much like the Picture of Dorian Grey, we are all eventually confronted with the magnitude of our own sins.

As the politicians in Parliament screamed about Brexit as the rest of the country slowly crumbles away, the fatberg ‘sweated’, hatched flies and grew mold.

Truly it’s the symbol of 2018.

Very on brand for the human race, we refuse to learn from the mistakes of our past. As such, the London Gay Men’s Chorus have taken it upon themselves to put together a festive reminder that you shouldn’t flush all that crap down the toilets.

The 12 Days of Fatberg happily reminds us of all the condoms, oil, fat, sanitary products and more which formed this gross goliath.

And with Big Brother finally being banished from UK screens this year, there’s now the perfect replacement to the pinnacle of reality TV: a 24-hour livestream of the fatberg in the Museum of London, called FatCam.

Everything is gross. Merry Christmas everyone.
