You are joking right? Do you really expect people to buy that? Google Earth it and tell me what you find out there.

If it was true, millions of people would have seen it and have had to go through it.

I doubt it's as thick as they're trying to make it out. A metaphorical island, maybe, but not one you can walk across. I could see clumps and patches that have conglomerated until they look solid, but you'd still fall right through 'em. As for the rest, maybe bits of plastic debris and a general field of dissolved plastics.
But a literal island? About as likely as Nader winning an election.

I heard the "island" has elected a Republican governor.
