Surely at this point they are just doing it for the tourists.

Most of them don't see any tourists, only on a couple of the bigger islands.

When it comes down to it, aren't cultural anthropologists really tourists who have found a way to travel to exotic lands, take a lot of pictures, fuck up other cultures, and get college credit for it?

Pretty much. It's just that I don't think there's enough of them to support a "cultural anthropolist tourism industry." Hard to imagine these guys keeping up appearances for the odd anthropologist who shows up every year or two.

Island of the Sequined Love Nun is a fun novel about a cargo cult

Those are some pretty nice blue jeans. Look brand new.

Ya know, I was wondering if these were the guys who invented the pants. Seeing the jeans, I guess not.
