La_Dolce_Vita Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 It WOULD be hilarious if the explosions were less gory and the sound was not as 'ploppy'. And it comes across as being kinda weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Plane stupid started it all off with polar bears. Shock tactics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La_Dolce_Vita Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Now I think that polar bear video is a good one for hitting home a certain message. Even if the connection might be indirect or tenuous. The exploding kids just seems like a poor hash between shock tactics and a strange sense of humour thats badly executed. It doesn't work well together. If it's to shock, you don't want to depreciate the impact by adding humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously stating the impact on the world if you don't take action. I can't say it made me laugh, though I did wonder how exactly the button being pressed managed to exactly target those who did not want to take part.

gazza Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 well with the way the facts about climate change being maybe altered to suit a lot of views, they had to turn to more shocking things to make us think its real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananaman Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 well with the way the facts about climate change being maybe altered to suit a lot of views, they had to turn to more shocking things to make us think its real My mate had his replies removed by moderators of the Guardian for liking these lot akin to the Naz..sorry....National Socialist Workers Party. His comments were brill and to have them removed really struck home the arrogance that the Environmentalists have. Not too far removed from a certain Austrian born vegetarian's ideals several moons ago. I was going to post his comment up here but think it would cause a conflab. At least I recycle my wine glass and don't use a new one for each top up. Don't kill me smug enviro nazis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Could we get this idea operated in restaurants and pubs, so children could wear exploding neck bands operated at high noise levels or something? 'Johnny, shut up, people are paying and trying to enjoy themselves here, so eat your...toast...toast...toast'. ...and maybe extend it to women that shreak-laugh in pubs too?

Bananaman Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 go on post them up, be worth a laugh You asked for it My name is Adolf Hitler and I approve of this message. Just to introduce myself, I lead an organisation of like minded indviduals called the National Socialist German Workers Party (yes, we really are socialists, I know its hilarious!). We also believe in a brighter, better future for those of a like mind and we too believe that in extreme times extreme measures must be put in place to realise our dream of a cleaner, greener future. On this, we agree with the 10:10 organisation. http://www.1010global.org/uk/about As some of you may be aware we have suffered some bad publicity due to our campaign, known as the Final Solution. As such we sympathise with the 10:10 organisation as they will undoubtably suffer criticism due to the content of their film. But you are not alone! We too believe in the execution of those children who stand in the way of out socialist dream (remember, I did say we are sociallists!). Not only do we agree with your suggested course of action we actually stand in awe of your vision, we salute the strength of character it takes to, not only execute children, but to do it publicy and without trial or recourse to an appeal process. We can only marvel at the power of persuasion such a course of action must have on those children who stand witness to this calculated act of barbarism! Of course the public execution of adults who disagree with our program of societal improvement has long been a traditional method of educating others. But, even we with our secret police organisation, felt the need to execute our children in complete secrecy and to destroy as much evidence of these acts as we possibly can. Since there is so much on which we agree I would like to publicly invite the 10:10 to our Global Climate event next year. In June, 1941, i mean 2011, we shall be launching a drive into the heart of Russia (tentatively called Operation Barbarossa) in which we will seek to make the world a better place. We would ask that the 10:10 organisation work with us, behind the lines and out of danger, to help eradicate the pestilence of carbon misuse. As a mark of our utmost respect we would assign you the top position as Einsatzgruppen 1, the premier league if you will, of our educational organisation. Now, it is regrettable that during our Global Climate meeting we will be accused of hypocrisy since we will, in fact, emit quite a lot of carbon through our operations. Well, you cant run a Panzer Division on hot air! However it is our earnest belief that this carbon jackbootprint will be more than offset by the reduction in carbon users (or abusers I should say!) at the end of our operation. You cant make an omlette without executing millions of others as the old saying goes! So I hope to see you all on the Russian steppe next year! Warmest Regards A. Hilter, Leader (or Fuhrer if you will) of the National Socialist German Workers Party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amime Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The Adolf Hitler comment was probably removed due to the fact it was evidently not him who wrote it and they are trying to avoid being sued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
