The Global Warming wackos are getting desperate. The latest - which you will not hear about in any of the "non-biased" media - is from England where teachers, bosses, and studio producers are blowing up people that have not swallowed the Global Warming kool-aid (why should the sheep be the only ones that die? Blow up those not taken in by the hysteria so no one will be left).
Reportedly (as in they made their point so they do not give a damn now), the 1010 organization has pulled the ad. But not before it went viral. So that you can see the pathetic mindset of the Global Warming crazies, Youtube still has it (and if they pull it, I am sure others will post it so we can be reminded of the fanaticism of the insane).
Warning! It is graphic.
The most shocking thing to me... is that this is actually a commercial BY those deranged psychopaths and not someone else making fun of how they are all eco-terrorists.
If it was made by anyone else as a "parody" of their fanaticism it would have been a disgusting blood libel (no matter how much I disagree with them I wouldn't put such words in their mouth). But since they themselves made it... frankly I found the movie to be simply threatening, not "grotesque macabre humor", but an open ended death threat.

They did remove the video from their website after much backlash.
I agree it would be a "Daisy" type of ad if done by the opposition - until they did it. But then they have already shown an inclination and willingness to perform these acts in reality anyway. They are desperate because the science does not support their agenda. In other words, they lied. They tried to attach their radical agenda to a lie and when the lie was exposed (as it almost always is), they have become violent.
As for the Fox link, let me clarify a couple of my points. 1, I knew they pulled it from THEIR site, but since Google bought Youtube, they have been thoroughly cowed and quick to pull any videos when even a hint of a letter from a lawyer is indicated. Although since this one was done with public (albeit UK) money and aired for public consumption, any 2 bit lawyer could easily get such a SLAP suit dismissed.
And 2, I referenced the "non-biased" media since everyone knows Fox speaking the truth means it is biased. I found it on Fox. But so far, have not seen a word on CNN about it (but I do understand the NYTimes made a mention of it on page A-39).
What a disappointment CNN is turning out to be.
I saw this video on another site (not FOX) a few days ago (just can't recall now). The message it should be sending is what will happen to the few that get in the Eco-terrorists way and that if you keep your mouth shut and approve their agenda you will be fine. People in general are stupid, or at least unwilling to think for themselves.
The AD is counting on that, but I think at leas some are waking up from the drug induced trance they have been subjected to by the MSM.
I long ago lost respect for CNN, and rarely read more than their political blog posts (and then just to see how wrong they can get it).
They have really bought into that "Tea Party is a radical right-wing movement" philosophy. I'm not a Tea Party member, but I find myself defending them because they do seem to express the common Americans view point, despite the name calling levied against them. Every poll seems to indicate that. Don't CNN research that for themselves before they spout off, insinuating 70% of Americans are fringe crackpots? At the very least it shows lack of being in touch with the country (or bias). At worst it puts them in the propaganda for the left category. No attempt at impartiality.
Well, that was rather disturbing... and stupid. I'm not sure I get the point of blowing people up. I mean I understand the concept but with so many ways to point out the ones who didn't want to participate, why blow them up? And so graphically?
The should have changed the "no preasure" line to "or else". It would have been more honest and more straight forward. Not that this was not straight forward in a sense. And this was actually put on TV in Europe?
My God what have we come to?
Definitely the latter. It has been a slide, but since MSNBC started beating them I guess they figured if they could not beat them, join them. But they are too stupid to realize that Fox is wining because they are the most balanced NEWS organization. They are right when it comes to commentary, but they play it straight on the news, and most people (that are not just idiots) want to get the truth and decide for themselves. CNN and MSNBC are basically fighting over a shrinking market. And letting Fox walk off with the lions share.
Did you check out Taltamir's link? It was a Fox piece, but it also displayed the web sites "apology" which was basically "We thought it was funny!". They are sick people. It is funny to them because human life is worthless to them. They are the people that made the old USSR and Third Reich possible due to their indifference to people.
They have developed a bunker mentality. In other words, not being for them is being against them. There is no middle ground. So no pressure to them is the same as "or else".
It simulates reality... if they said "or else" then everyone will CLAIM to be "with them"... if they say "no pressure" they can single out their enemies easier (for elimination).
It is such a callous, matter of fact type of execution... it is how you would go about squashing a roach. The enemy is not a human, but a sub-human bug to squish. They were "just joking" the same way ahmadinejad is "just saying it to appease the populace" when he says he wants to wipe out israel. I think they are serious. I am actually not offended by the concept of macabre humor (not that I find it funny), but the difference between macabre humor and a death threat is the context.
A KKK member who "jokes" about lynching african americans isn't using macabre humor. A neo-nazi "joking" about jews being sent to death camps isn't really "joking". A "humor movie" depicting the author of said movie murdering a political figure would not be "just a joke" when he is brought up on death threat charges.
The context of this piece is "we are going to murder our political opponents", it is a threat.
Great points and analogies!
it is a threat, but I do not think they have the humanity to see it as murder. As you said, we do not give a second thought to squashing a roach, and neither do they. It is just our definition of what is a roach that is different.
I'm gonna take your word for this, because I can't take looking at all that blood. I can't deal with extremists. It's like the horrific response/saying "because I said so..."
You guys need to develop a sense of humor.
They're pathetic in content & message, sure, but superbly done and funny as hell if you ask me. Reminiscent of the stuff viralvideos.org has been doing for years.
As someone mentioned, as a Monty Python Skit, sure. As an ad for their cause? I guess you can say you like it if you think Biden is some kind of Svengali speaker.
Nothing against a little humor, just the way the content of the message (and it is intended as a message) is delivered on unsuspecting people. I wouldn't have a problem if someone went to a show to see this sort of thing. Otherwise it leads some folks to believe others are expendable if they don't act or feel a certain way. Remember "life not worth living" in the 1930's? IMO there is enough brutalization of humans by other humans for ideological reasons today, without promoting it so casually. I suppose it is still a little soon after 1945 for my tastes.
Hey, I laugh at just about anything, I just think some things just arent funny.
I can't help but watch this and take it as the brits trying to put humor in their ad. I really didn't take it as a threat- I just take it as British humor. It's so Monty Python. I mean, the way they blow up is almost identical to the "one more thin mint" guy. I couldn't help seeing it as humor added to try and get attention. I can also assume that this was shown in the UK, not in the US.
I have not said it, but your response is a good place to say it.
is there any surprise that James Lee was created by the movement? As you said, the movement cheapens life, so why bother defending it or preserving it? THAT is the message (beyond the gore) the ad sends.
Indeed. When Kaczinski blew up people, that was not funny (yet a lot less violent than the ad). When James Lee threatened to do it, that was not funny (and not even gory). When you place such a low value on life, do not be surprised when acts of terror are done in your name. After all, the ends are more important than the means.
The Brits did not take it as such. Before Fox (the only major MSM to carry it so far over here) picked it up, the Brits forced the group to remove it.
Apparently even the Brits have levels of decency.
Extraordinarily low levels. But levels.
I agree with Daiwa, and yet also find myself agreeing with Charles, Nitro, and DrGuy.
It was poorly done, and too easily spun by those who seriously view it as "terrorism" propaganda. The message just did not get through. It's idiots like them that make those of us green advocates, who think before we act, look bad.
Yeah, right...make the world think we're all nuts, just because you didn't use your head.

Note the date and time people! Lucas gets an insightful from me!
I understand what you mean. My problem is that I just don't find funny blowing people up in such a gory way while at the same time basically stating that if you are not with us then we don't need you around. This screams "no freedom of opinion or speech" to me. And to be honest, even if it were a good comedy bit, it was still lame. The people that agreed should have laughed at the explosions rather than freak out which is what made the joke not so funny.
Yes it does. It also goes to the screams of some of the rabid faithful that those skeptical about AGW should be prosecuted as war criminals. I wonder what their next ad will be - Using a Torquemada figure to force conversion of all skeptics? yea, that would be a riot.
Funny as it is, the irony is that it's not a parody. It's true believers (wrongly) thinking they're being clever.
