UPDATE: I just watched the actual video at Plane Stupid’s website. Click here to get there.
It’s even better than the skydiving polar bears that Tracy suggested. It’s more like the Inuits are bombing New York with polar bears. Which is another way of saying that it is F***ING AWESOME! If they ever make a movie of my life, I want this film in it!
UPDATE 2: It’s at YouTube, so you can just go to the end of this post and watch it yourself!
Ed Gillespie, head spin doctor co-director at Futerra, the enviro-PR firm that teaches CRU scientists how to “win the game“, thinks that the above image might be going a little too far. The plummetting polar bears are part of a promotional film commissioned by a whacktivest (TM) organization called “Plane Stupid”.
Plane Stupid (and they are) doesn’t want you to fly on airplanes. Because, airplanes emit carbon dioxide, which warms up the planet and the polar bears then -
BANG!!!
Sorry. Couldn’t take it anymore. I am so sick of hearing that kind of horse-pucky that I had to shoot myself in the head.
I’m better now.
Anyway. To illustrate their point, Plane Stupid created the Plummetting Polar Bears video, showing the bears plunging to their deaths while an aircraft roars overhead. Get it? Should you have any problems grasping the subtle message, feel free to e-mail Rufus and he’ll have Mrs. Teasdale explain it to you. As for me, if I still smoked whacky-tobaccy, I would probably get baked and watch this film about 200 times in a row with my buddies. And, it would get funnier every time we watched it.
Gillespie worries that Plane Stupid’s message here might be a little counter-productive. To wit:
“…it’s as if the “green police” are climbing into bed with your children and telling them that, unless daddy turns the TV off standby, Mr Snuggles the dog sleeps with the fishes.”
Ed would prefer his more subtle forms of mind control. Sneaking in a little bit of propoganda every day, in the most unobtrusive of ways, until you can’t even remember a time when you didn’t love Big Brother. You know, like showing “Gwyneth Paltrow at a bus stop” in order to “change attitudes about public transport”. The environmental equivelant, I suppose, would be filming “Gone In Sixty Seconds Two” (Working Title: “Gone In Sixty One Seconds”) and having Nick Cage only steal Prius’. And it would be – like – cool.
This “in your face” stuff doesn’t help Ed’s cause, because it makes people think the green-weenies are insane idiots or something. Which they are, but they really don’t want people to know that.
I say: the more messages like this, the sooner all these morons go away.
What was a polar bear doing on plane? Stupid bear should have at least put on a parachute. I can’t be bothered with animals who sky dive without a parachute. Survival of the fittest baby.

I’ve got to ask what is the deal with environmentalist and polar bears? Is it that they are the only living creature that wouldn’t thrive in a warmer temperature?
Are we at “Full Eco-Retard,” yet?
I’m not sure which is more fun: The unmasking of all this liberal candy colored fakery, or the look on the libs faces when they realize that we know they are lying.
That is all kinds of awesome video.
Too bad the bodies dropping from the top of the Twin Towers didn’t motivate them to action.
Oh, very nice point. Well done.
it’s interesting that the Lefty commenters appear to have vanished over at Big Hollywood and Big Government as well as Pajamas Media…not so many comments and retorts about Obamacare or AGW…I suppose Director Soros has called for them to be quiet for the time being…
I guess when someone kills off your god, it’s hard to get the energy to get up and blog, anymore.
Better to stay in bed and watch the earlier than usual snow fall.
Nietzsche had it half-right. god is dead… and he killed himself.
Kevin… the Left has retreated back into their pot dispensaries, glory holes, and faculty lounges to “regroup” from the realization that they’ve been f*&ked — and not anonymously like they usually prefer, but by the Big Zero — and as Gunny would say — he didn’t even have the common courtesy to give them a good reach around.
I hope they gape slack-jawed into the maw of impending poverty and civil unrest tye may have unleashed and realize their gun-free lifestyle will lose out to us Second Amendment folks.
This video is sooooo annoying. I’m supposed to feel guilty about having to fly? This is not based on living in the real world. Oh, I get it. If I don’t fly home to see my family for Thanksgiving, a polar bear will get his wings.
Agreed Barry it is annoying but you have to give props to the animators. That’s some awesome work. Sadly no one told them how much greenhouse gas it produces to build a computer.
