A host of celebrities and scientists including Madonna, Robert de Niro and a clutch of Nobel Prize winners have called for radical change in the world rather than 'a return to normal' after the coronavirus lockdowns.

Hollywood stars Cate Blanchett, Jane Fonda, Marion Cotillard and Monica Bellucci also added their names to the open letter published in the French daily Le Monde.

The signatories are pleading for an end to unbridled consumerism and a 'radical transformation' of economies to help save the planet.

The movement has been penned and led by actress Juliette Binoche and astrophysicist Aurélien Barrau.

A full list of the 200 signatories is published in this article (below).

Millionaire actors and singers are now telling people not to buy movie and concert tickets and drop their Netflix/Amazon/Hulu accounts.

Hypocritical bastards!!!!

[albie]

These punks are Dumber than I thought.

[Professional]

What utter sacks of shiite.

[Sergio]

All the signers should stop producing what the world is consuming. Either that or make what they produce available to the world at no cost.

Can you hear the silence...that’s the sound of the signers running to do what I just suggested.

[dfwgator]

Millionaires telling me to “Imagine No Possesions”.

The signatories are pleading for an end to unbridled consumerism and a 'radical transformation' of economies to help save the planet.

In other words, they want Communism.

I got mine, now we can implement socialism.

[CaptainK]

Multimillionaire hypocrites showing their true colors.

[txrefugee]

Great. Most of us haven’t consumed anything from these Leftists for years. Surely hope there’s a clause in their fat contracts that allows them to be canceled for lack of interest.

[Kozak]

I’ll be happy to avoid consuming any of the dreck they put out.

[cherry]

filthy rich again telling the peasants to stay peasants....

[AppyPappy]

Lead by example, Material Girl

Is this a post from the Babylon Bee?
It’s got to be.

LOL...there was the one yesterday that you posted" "SAG-AFTRA Chief Says (Hollywood) Production Won’t Return To “Normal” Until Vaccine, Testing & Tracing Are In Place. They say there won't be any more movies or TV shows for a long time.

So, if De Niro et al want us to NOT get back to normal, then we can follow the SAG-AFTRA advice and furlough all of these creeps for a long, long time.

Works for me. A "new normal" of never seeing or hearing from these smug, arrogant, know-it-all, loudmouth bastards ever again would just be wonderful. Talk about a silver lining; maybe COVID is just what we needed.

[Kickass Conservative]

Take away all their Money and Property then we can listen to their opinions.

[Ancient Man]

200 would make for one hell of a firing squad!

[heartwood]

If Madonna and De Niro move to a 2000 sq ft house in my neighborhood and only fly once a year, commercial, I promise not to gawk or hound them for autographs.

[petitfour]

All for me and none for thee . . .
