<< GET THESE GUYS A ROOM ~ MAIN ~ HEAVYWEIGHT DRAGGED >>
PUBLIC TRANSPORT IS DANGEROUS
Bad news: little children are about to be crushed by the runaway train that is global warming. Good news: for now, at least, the Smurfs remain threatened only by aerial assault.
(Via andycanuck)
UPDATE. Gerry C. emails: “Just reflecting on that train ad and it occurred to me that everything should be OK when those kids grow up. All they will need to do is say sorry for our treatment of them, and award themselves some compensation.”
UPDATE II. The ad would be much cooler if the children were run over by a Pitbull.
That was a feel good message. We’ve got 30 years! Some crank told me we had until 2012! What a relief.

Posted by Old school on 2008 03 16 at 07:40 PM • permalinkI think Tim has previously reported, though I can’t find it, someone saying “It’s too late”. I’ve heard people on the radio saying the same thing.
The problem is that they patently don’t believe it is too late. They keep laughing wryly about it in the comfort that they are so right and others so doomed.
But really if there was nothing we can do anymore, then firstly we could all stop trying to do anything, and secondly we could all descend into an orgiastic frenzy including really big credit card debts.
No these people who occasionally let slip “it’s too late” are newbies who haven’t learnt the proper alarmist techniques.
It will never be too late. Because AGW was only ever meant to be a behavioural lever, and it only works as long as the possibility of future salvation remains as a fulcrum.Posted by ooh honey honey on 2008 03 16 at 07:51 PM • permalinkSoul Asylum - Runaway Train
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I’m neither here no thereNice song.
But is not using children for immoral purposes a crime?Posted by stackja1945 on 2008 03 16 at 07:51 PM • permalinkAsteroids! I’m STILL paying off my credit card bill from that one.
Posted by ooh honey honey on 2008 03 16 at 09:02 PM • permalinkCredit cards? Don’t y’all know about the coming financial meltdown?
Wait a minute here. If the only debt I owe is a house with a year’s worth of payments left, if the financial markets implode and life as we know it stops, I’m the one screwed by not having a serious amount of stuff charged that I don’t have to pay for.
Damnit, this financial stuff always messes me up.

Am I the only one old enough to remember Newsweek getting all tragedy-Jill about what would happen to those polar bears of their time, the tigers? (Someone wrote in to ask about the ones in Siberia and their survival rates, but the letter got shoved off into a corner and no one ever talked about it again.)
At least no-one would ever try saying that the Smurfs didn’t deserve it…
Posted by AlburyShifton on 2008 03 16 at 09:50 PM • permalinkWell I for one wish the world would quit dilly-dallying around and end already. Piss or get off the pot, Gaia!
Women. We just can’t make up our minds.
Posted by Andrea Harris, Administrator on 2008 03 16 at 10:28 PM • permalinkFunny moment during the Australian Gran Prix, when Barrichello exited the pits before they removed the fuel hose from his car. Hilarious shot of the Honda pit crew, wearing their “Earth Dreams” slogan-ed uniforms, standing by watching as fuel poured out all over the ground. Not as funny as those Smurfs, though.
#4- Someone’s followed your suggestion, and gotten medieval on their baby blue bots.
I showed my family some youtube clips of Father Abraham singing the Smurf song. Then i showed them the UNICEF version. Next I told them that this was a pretty good example of why I hate the UN.

They scared the heck out of us with that. Of course, as a rational adult, I can look back at the “science” of it and spot the nonsense. As a kid, though… that stuff was scary. That’s why I get so angry when they try to indoctrinate kids into the AGW nonsense.
Posted by MikeTheLibrarian on 2008 03 17 at 09:10 AM • permalinkI’m subject to that top
propagandawonderful public service message every now and then on Armed Forces Network Korea, and yes, it has emboldened me at times to crank my aircon and floor heating to the max and let them duke it out (floor heating is the turtle to aircon’s hare).And in the Unintended Consequences Dept., if that Smurf’s video isn’t one of the best reasons to go war, I don’t know what is.
Posted by Tommy Shanks on 2008 03 17 at 09:19 AM • permalinkDear Santa,
I’ve been a good girl so far this year, so I’m getting in early.
Please can I have a pitbull and a selection of smurfs to practice on?
Yours in eager anticipation,
love
nilky.

I’m not sure why they think nothing can adapt to a 1-degree temperature change over 100 years (although I’m not sure whether there has actually been a temperature change or not)when the day to evening temperature change may be 50 degrees or more.
