Angry Kid (Greenpeace defines video sanctimony)

You Tube ^ | 2/22/07 | GreenPeace

This is a unintentionally funny GrenPeace ad from Youtube. It's hysterical on too many levels to count (yes that pun is intentional). I can think of 20 ways to parody it and I'm not all that funny.

I'm posting it here in the hope that you all might be able to help keep track of the slew of video responses there is going to be to this little gem.

Don't you just want to kick his cute little butt into next Wednesday?

[Thrownatbirth]

LOL. Remember when kids like that used to bum a Camel from you and then go away?

[tcostell]

Yeah ... he's just off the charts. Greenpeace has reached a whole new level in shamelessness.

Sorry ... I looked but didn't see it.

[xcamel]

some great sidebar commentary there...

Horse whipping wouldn't be good enough for this little snot.

[tcostell]

Oh come on... he didn't write this stuff himself...these aren't his ideas. (He may agree with them... but he's just an actor in a commercial.) This is just an example of the level of contempt that groups like Greenpeace holds for people who disagree with them.

In a way, he's their avatar. He's an angry kid with no wisdom or experience, just strongly held opinions based on his feelings. And he's so certain that he's right, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, that he's prepared to resort to threats and potentially to violence to make us submit to his will. He doesn't care about grown up things like facts or evidence. And he doesn't want to hear about trade offs or compromises. He just wants us to do things his way even if it means dismantling all of western civilization., and the consequences of his plan are never even considered.

The funny part is that some adult at Greenpeace thought this would be a good way to win hearts and minds. They really are all children over there.

Today's brainwashed students have been quoted in the DBM to the effect that they are entitled to their own definition of any fact. THAT is their version of free speech, something the rest of us are no longer allowed if it conflicts with their self-created fantasy.

These people have had over 30 years to lead by example. Just where are all these carbon-neutral communities that do not depend on purchasing bogus carbon credits? Our local organic farmers had a convention here this week. One of the radio ads touted the profits possible with organic farming by saying that an organic farmer could afford a 3/4-ton pickup with an extended cab and didn't even need to have a ponytail.

In case the city folks don't get it, all farmers around here own full-size pick ups, which are not exactly green.

It is just like the ethanol bandwagon: 30 years ago, corn was being bashed because it "depleted the soil".

This is beyond their contempt for the rest of us. It is schizophrenic. It is inconsistent. It is irrational.

How long before the isolated acts of violence against those who disagree with them become a campaign platform?

LOL imagine what it will be like to marry and live with that little Bitch. Oh and don't forget once she has kids and they get married someone will be stuck with her as a mother in law

[roses of sharon]

LOL, more evidence the left lives in a make-believe world.

Seriously, I think they have some kind of need for something to rebel against, so they just write a script, and jump in as if its real.

What kind of pathology is this?

[SlowBoat407]

I just LOVE the sneer! What hellhole did they dig him out of? Oh, and when you talk about global warming? DON'T WEAR A HOODIE SWEATSHIRT!!!!

[tom paine 2]

He's still a little snot and needs a whippin.

I came to the same conclusion. Clearly they are presenting the boy as androgynous so as be able to present him as a boy or a girl depending on your predilections. It's the new liberalism - not only are we all equal but we are all the same sex.

Railing against the decadence of the West while he discards his Happy Meal garbage out the car window onto my lawn . . .

Don't despair of our youth. A young lady in the 11th grade in Ohio interviewed me for a paper she was writing on global warming. Based on my interview and some diligent research on her part, her paper argued that global warming (man caused) was a hoax, or at least had not even remotely been "proven".

She got a B+ (deservedly so in my opinion, I read the paper. Not bad but had some erros in it).

[lafroste]

erros = errors

Sheesh, was that Freudian or what.

[HitmanLV]

I wonder what he plans on doing to his 'enemies' and the enemies of mother earth? Make prank calls to their house? Order a pizza for them and watch hilarity ensue when the delivery guy gets there? If I met the kid, I'd ask him what he is going to do to give teeth to his rhetoric.
