An Inconvenient Spoof

Well, once again I'm unable to upload a picture, don't know why. So just imagine a picture of Al Gore talking on a cell phone. That's what I had picked out. It seems the popular video site, youtube is featuring a spoof of Al Gore's environmental movie, An Inconvenient Truth. "Al Gore's Penguin Army" features Gore blaming everything on global warming as he brainwashes some penguins. Perhaps harmless fun, or perhaps something more? According to a story in the Wall Street Journal (read it here) the video originates from someone at DCI Group, a lobbying firm whose clients include Exxon-Mobil. No one at DCI or Exxon will talk about it, but could the video have been designed as a marketing tool to discredit Gore's message? I hope none of my $3.05 per gallon went to fund this venture. Whether you believe in global warming or not, you have to admit the environment's getting more polluted every day. That's why some larger cities have tougher emissions standards, which has led to innovations like hybreds and electric cars. Oh, I've heard "Who Killed the Electric Car" is another great movie. Perhaps a spoof of that is next.
