This kind of tone-deafness is difficult to believe.

WARNING: The contents of this video are gross and offensive. Really. No Joke.

So it seems there's this NGO called 10:10, and it got a lot of government money to convince people to "reduce their carbon footprint" because otherwise we'll all die or something. Purveyors of fuzzy bunnies and warm puppies that they are, their resort to brutal, bloody misanthropy right off the bat is ... actually rather typical of the breed, alas. These people would have been right at home during the Thirty Years' War, as long as they weren't the ones doing the actual bleeding.



Iowahawk gets the last word:
...And somehow, throughout this entire process, not one of the hundreds of people involved seemed to have questioned the wisdom of an advertising message advocating the violent, sudden death of people who disagree with it.

Don Draper, call your office.
Oh, and they've apologized. Sort of. Not very much.

H/T to Treacher.

Interesting juxtaposition of posts. Twenty questions lady and 10:10 misanthropes are all cast from the same mold: comply or die. What's newsworthy is the lowering of the facade in the vid.

The truly sad thing is that the 10:10 people are really just telling the truth. The US president argues in federal court that he should be able to order the murder of anyone, US citizen or otherwise, any where, any time, and by saying the magic words "national security" his reasons don't even need to be stated. No review, no checks, no balances.

Hellfire missiles aren't quite so kind to those near the victim as the 10:10 fantasy weapon. But they can dream...
