Hey, in an entertainment universe where a blood-soaked psychopath can be a hero and flesh-munching zombies can be hilarious (to me, too), whats a few exploding schoolchildren?
Late last week, a British climate group released No Pressure, a mini-film aimed at rounding up new recruits to its 10:10″ movement, in which people, schools, companies and other participants pledge to cut their greenhouse gas emissions 10 percent in a year.
On paper, the project had everything going for it the screenwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Bridget Joness Diary, music by Radiohead, on-screen talent including Gillian Anderson, a partnership with The Guardian newspaper, which got the exclusive, unveiling the video with a gushy blog post that called it attention grabbing and pretty edgy.
Attention grabbing and pretty edgy, indeed. The opening scene shows a school teacher cheerily tallying hands of those in her class agreeing to cut their carbon, then pushing a red button, bursting two naysayers like balloons filled with fruit punch. Other scenes repeat the spattery process in an office and on a soccer field. The video makes last years polar bears falling from the sky film clip fighting frequent flying look like Teletubbies.
If the goal had been to convince people that environmental campaigners have lost their minds and to provide red meat (literally) to shock radio hosts and pundits fighting curbs on greenhouse gases, it worked like a charm. Of course the goal might have been buzz more than efficacy. Too often these days, thats the online norm. They succeeded on that front. I, among many others, am forced to write about it. Congratulations.

It looks like even some progressives have difficulty accepting the final solution angle of the global warming fanatics. But you pegged it, they are only a degree or two from advocating the elimination of any nonbelievers.
If someone disagrees, blow them up and make the world a better place!

BUMP
In the past 40 years, they've killed 50million kids in the United States alone.
The more accomplices they can get, the easier it will be for the Billy Ayerses of the world to get the remaining red diaper doper babies to ACCEPT the murder of the "estimated" 30 million "hold outs" who will have to be "eliminated" to usher in the glorious socialist utopia. That is, the 30 million who cannot be "re-educated".
Yes, we know who they are and just how they plan to get there. They been quite open about it.
It goes beyond mere disagreement and into considering others traitors, betrayers, and non-human for their thoughts. I will not act like them by wishing them dead or destroyed. We need to consider that when condemning this video. I won't call them vermin, however, I won't stand by and let them blow me up, either!
I hope the British remember this fellow. I am one. Note the plow behind him. A farmer is a pretty stable, go along to get along fellow. But PUSH HIM TO FAR...We will defend ourselves!
