Going Green is really chic right now. It's the hip thing to do. And while I love my planet and I have no qualm with being economically responsible, many people - many famous people are just taking this too far.
Paul McCartney, when you want an old woman who sounds like a Beatle.
A good example would be Paul McCartney, talking the other day at a press conference with President Obama. Here's what he said, when referring to the oil spill:
"Sadly we need disasters like this to show people. Some people don't believe in climate warming - like those who don't believe there was a Holocaust."

Now I'd like to address the first part, first. I'm not saying the oil spill isn't bad, I think it's terrible and I don't like seeing the pictures of baking pelicans anymore than anyone else. But come on Paul, the oil spill is because of global warming? What, did global warming bake the brains of the people who rushed the job and didn't do all the necessary procedures to stop a disaster beforehand? It really bums me out when great musicians are mentally retarded.
Look! It's Falling From The Sky! Damn Global Warming!
But the second part, while not as stupid is still equally as ignorant. There is clear proof that the Holocaust existed. There is not clear proof that global warming exists. That is why there are still a large number of scientists who do not believe it exists. There can be compelling examples that both sides can bring to the table - but the fact of the matter is - it's not proven, and as time goes on it's getting less and less clear.
But in all honesty, the worst part of the quote was that he pulled the 'Nazi Card'. I am sooo tired of all sides pulling the damn Nazi card. Stop equating everyone that does not believe in your views to Nazis or relating it to the holocaust or anything Hitler, Third Reich, or little upper-lip mustache related. If you have at least something remotely correlating or can at least draw a reasonable resemblance, well then you would at least not be pulling it out of thin air, although you would still be standing on thin ice.
Clearly this is the right way to go.
Unfortunately for our environment, most eco-friendly spokespeople end up looking like retarded idiots who want you to pay an addition 5 bucks for that lemon because it's organic, want to fine you 50 bucks because you don't recycle all the paper that goes through your house and don't understand why someone with 5 kids can't fit into a honda civic instead of their big 'evil' SUV.
As mandated by FEMA this is Jon & Kate Gosselin's new vehicle.
You're making people hate anything that sounds like it might be eco-friendly, because they associate it with you. So cut it out or I'm going to wipe my ass with your curtains to save toilet paper.
