The Diseased Minds of "Greenies"

This is pretty sick stuff. They really know how to make friends and influence people. Only a sick mind could dream of something like this.

Well they deserve an A for honesty. Its not only the greenies though, all of these progressives have an inner fascist just waiting to come out. its the inevitable result when you put the state above the individual.

This is what it's coming down to. What this battle will be between the state and the people boils down to this basically: Either the government works for us (the way the FFs intended) or the people work for the state. Who is in charge here? The state or the people? The state is getting increasingly audacious by sticking its nose into our personal business and its greedy fingers into our pockets.

Either this is a satire and you guys are getting punked or it's a real ad and it's
the stupidist ad in the history of the world.

It's real, apparently. Also extremely British. (They wanted to get climate change "back in the headlines" cause you never hear about it, ya know.)

Here's their site (with apology):

Why can't it be both? A sick mind could do both -- and not blink an eye! A satirical ad? No problema.

You've got some really bizarre friends there on the left, Mosty -- from my perspective, of course. To you, they're probably pretty normal.

Satire, comedy, funnies, humor -- all that aside -- many a true word was spoken in jest. The fact remains that this is the mindset of the believers in Mother Earth. They truly believe that man must redeem himself and his fellow man by doing his part to save the goddess, i.e. the planet. And if you don't do your part, you will not be looked upon favorably -- and this is stating it mildly. These people are religious fanatics. They essentially don't differ one iota from from Muslim jihadists. Like fundamentalist Muslims, they will insist that you convert to their religion. As such they pose a great deal of potential danger to society. They are loaded with passion, emotion and zeal but have zero connection to real knowledge -- to genuine truth. Religious fanatics should never be taken lightly.

Amateurish and in very bad taste...maybe some satirical English macabre humor thing that we don't understand in America? Whatever....the really bad part is the scene with the soccer team. Their mouths have been 'photo-shopped' if you will; dubbed in...it's not real. What's worse is that those are actually professional soccer players for Tottenham Hotspurs...wonder if they consented or even knew they would be used in this way.

Not funny. Not effective. Just makes a person really uncomfortable.

Yet, the 1010 organization, in its "apology", defends the piece as being exactly that, i.e. "extremely funny", according to them. What is also very revealing is what they did not say in that apology. They did not make any effort to explain the rationale behind the video. What was the video's intended message?
What was the video's purpose? This omitted information is very telling. It always pays to listen to what people also don't say.

BINGO! Maybe that was the real purpose behind the vid. Scare tactic? March lockstep with us or else...?
