The YoungTubers celebrate Earth Day. Happily, tubers “persist for one season only.”
- “We can make a difference.” Perhaps, but not a positive one, I think.
#1 “Where are their guardians?” Behind the camera generating clouds of smug, I’d say.

- Owww! My eyes!
All I kept hearing was “SIEG HEIL!!!!” from a bunch of crazed Hitler Youth. Young Tubers.A few observations:
1) Don’t wear a Skull and Cross Bones hoodie when trying to convince me to do anything.
2) Don’t lecture to me about litter, while policing up the yard in front of Dad’s $500K mansion in Santa Monica.
3) Don’t lecture to me about turning down the heat and reducing your parents heating bill, when you should be doing something about reducing their grocery bill.
4) Recycling gift paper as a book cover? If you were REALLY dedicated, you’d refuse the gifts entirely, thus saving even MORE carbon credits.
5) Protests and rallies do in fact raise awareness. Your’s alone has risen my awareness to the fact that your parents are morons and should be imprisoned for breeding.
Those poor, innocent children.
And one bald, middle-aged, Scottish git who fancies himself a comedian.

- I can’t remember, Habib – why was the earth dying back in the ‘70s?
What I mostly remember is the crazy feminist collective cookbooks my mother had, and something about ‘Findhorn’ which was some drippy collective in Scotland(?) where if you buried a bulls horn packed tight with yak dung and shredded tiger testicles at midnight on a full moon you could grow lush crops of tomatoes and kumquats and lychees and watermelons out of your own arse.
And Lyall Watson. Supernature. Marshmellowheads like my mother, god rest her soul, still loved him even after he got debunked. I can just imagine Lyall Watson having a field day with Al Gore’s ‘The earth is out of balance with the rest of the Universe’ thesis.
Yes, it’s all very ‘70s isn’t it. Horrible effing decade. Sigh.
PS, talking of the children of hippies, where’s Penguin these days?
- for nostalgia’s sake, here’s a link to Findhorn. And here’s a sample of that yak dung I was talking about:
‘The Findhorn garden grew from a rich compost and it is apt that Findhorn spirituality should also sprout from its own steamy mix, a fecund blend of positive thinking, psychism, esotericism, and—less often acknowledged—evangelical Christianity’
Ah. My lost youth. I’m afraid I had a Leif Garrett haircut too. But I’ve ended up to the right of Genghis Khan so there’s hope yet.
- Nice line in total self aggrandisement.
“In 2107 when the new Youtubers make a video, they can point to us in 2007 as making the change.”

- I think it was pollution, nuclear war/winter and overpopulation. When you think about it, one would cancel out the other two, but logic’s never had any place in any of these hippy dip scenarios.
The really pathetic thing is that these little creeps are utterly mainstream, marching to the beat of a whitebread band so regimented and dogmatic it makes the Coldstream Guards look and sound like Snoop Dog.
They’re latter day Mouseketeers, with Al Gore in the role of an overweight, sartorially challenged Mickey (at least he’s got the annoying, cloying vocal style down pat).
- Doo-doo-doo, da-da-do-do-wow!
There’s a place that is magical and full of rain
But now it needs help because it is in pain
Protecting the earth is a mighty big chore
We’re spreading awareness like never before!

This generation’s Niedemeyers all wear hoodies and bandanas…
