[Singer Sheryl] Crow calls for limit on loo [toilet] paper

Singer Sheryl Crow has said a ban on using too much toilet paper should be introduced to help the environment.

Crow has suggested using "only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required".

The 45-year-old, who made the comments on her website, has just toured the US on a biodiesel-powered bus to raise awareness about climate change.

She teamed up with environmental activist Laurie David for the shows.

The pair targeted 11 university campuses to persuade students to help combat the world's environmental problems.

"I have spent the better part of this tour trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming," Crow wrote.

"Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating.

"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting."

The tour ended on Sunday at the George Washington University in Washington DC, where Crow performed with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Carole King.

Laurie David's husband, Seinfeld creator Larry David, also appeared.

Crow has also commented on her website about how she thinks paper napkins "represent the height of wastefulness".

She has designed a clothing line with what she calls a "dining sleeve".

The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another "dining sleeve" after the diner has used it to wipe his or her mouth.

The shows involved a short set by the singer, a talk by David and segments of Al Gore's environmental film An Inconvenient Truth.

Ignorant environmentalists such as Sheryl Crow don't understand that paper companies plant more trees than they cut down.

I wonder if this proposal makes her a facsist, or a communist. It's hard to tell the difference between the two.

Sheryl uses both sides of her toilet paper.

duplicate thread but what the hell....just posted this on the other one.................alright you photoshop experts.Capitalism is screaming here....where is my roll of toilet paper w/ Crow’s face on each square.............lmao

[Vigilanteman]

What she really needs are dried corn cobs.

[CFC__VRWC]

So we’re going to place cameras in every restroom in America to monitor how much toilet paper people use to wipe, and arrest them if they’re caught “wasting” it? Ands why do I think that Cheryl will make sure the toilet on her biodiesel powered bus will be exempt from this?

[Lexington Green]

If minstrels ran the world...

[2dogjoe]

Dumbass alert.........

[Balding_Eagle]

Man, as if the gays didn’t have it tough enough as it is...............

[GSlob]

Well, they are so full of it that one square would be positively insufficient. Ditto for two, or three.

[Reaganesque]

SKIDMARKS FOR GLOBAL WARMING!!!

[nctexan]

I always thought Sheryl looked "rougher than a corn cob", but...

Makes sense though... Going green and supporting the ethanol movement.

[twonie]

Why is anything this ditz says given air time? She is a used by a biker chick, no more. Wherever does she get the money for a bus? This environmental gig is no more than life support to the likes of this one and Algore and Daavid Suzuki. Geez!

[SoCalRight]

Another artist taking all the fun out of being a fan.

[KJC1]

I think this stupid idea will stick to Sheryl Crow like toilet paper to a shoe.

[twonie]

SKIDMARKS!! I believe we have the post of the day here.

No, go for capitalist solution: coin-operated TP dispensers.

[Diogenesis]

Does anyone dream that Hollywood's elite would use this requirement for themselves?

Are Ms. Crowe's concerts 'green'? Are her SUVs? multiple homes?

Are Hollywood's concerts 'green'? absent of wasted paper?

Crowe's manifesto is smoke-and-mirrors, absent of content except for demands of the 'little paying people'.

Idiotic unscientific, inaccurate, groundless comments, alarmistic rants, and evasion on questioning, of these two hypocrites is discussed here.

"Don't I look like I use one sheet of toliet paper"?

Crowe: "Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating.
One of my favorites is in the area of forest conservation which we heavily rely on for oxygen.
I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting.
Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights,
but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with
only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required.
When presenting this idea to my younger brother, who's judgment I trust implicitly,
he proposed taking it one step further. I believe his quote was, "how bout just washing the one square out."

When Ms Crow announces the ‘carbon footpring’ generated by the klieg lights, amps, and the heating for the arena’s she routinely sells out, and then tells us what she’s going to do about it, she isn’t worth paying attention to.

Basically, she’s as dumb as Natalie Maines, but she is much more talented musically.

Keep in mind Ms Crow made her career as a big haired backup singer for Michael Jackson. If you can rationalize working for a known pedophile, you can rationalize ANYTHING.

ROTFLMAO

“The last piece a a** I got,
was when mah finger broke through
the toilet paper, slick as snot—
I wept all nite, I was so blue . .”
