Australian environmentalists want you dead
Permalink  

Even though I have a very low opinion of global warming advocates, this blog post shocked me. It's about a game on the Australian Broadcasting Company website called "Planet Slayer". You answer questions to see when, based on your usage of the planet's resources, you should die. No, I'm not kidding. Yes, I went to the website myself and verified it. According to the website I should have died when I was 2.6 years old.

I heard about that somewhere and I was too bothered to even go see what they said for me. That is messed up. rage.gif

The very fact that this person is using a computer and posting on a blog tells me that, chances are, he's one of the people that should die. Hypocrite.

No, he's complaining about it, not promoting it. He was in shock at what he found, and was eager to prove that it wasn't just a hoax, that someone is actually doing that.

I've stumbled upon a few of these "Death Calculators". Pretty creepy that they exist.

The truly disgusting part is that this is aimed at children.

Here's where I first read about it: http://www.glennbeck.com/content/blog/index.php?page=post&blog=stu&post_id=71

Here's the website.  I'm having a hard time figuring out where the people are coming from though.  The stereotypes just seem a bit stereotypical on both sides of the enviornmentally friendly fence. 

Is it a tactic to generate controversy and gain market share?  Do they actually believe what they're saying?  Is this a parody of the environmental movement designed to illustrate how goofy they are?  I dunno.
