Soon, nobody is going to be able to "ride the elephant". Of the two extant species of elephants, the Asian elephant is classed as endangered, and the African elephant, as vulnerable; "Plastic elephants" are going to be it. They are going to decorate storefronts, and annoy store owners.

Plastic elephants add a new twist to the truths and fallacies of the Six Blind Men And An Elephant story; Form, nature, and The Truth.

• Six blind men are asked to determine what an elephant looks like by feeling different parts of the elephant's body. One says, it's like a pillar, the other, a rope; The others, a tree branch, a fan, a wall and a solid pipe. They fail to understand that they were all describing the same being. With plastic, the manifold nature of The Truth is multiplied.
