[QUOTE=Mabus;25211215]I'm sorry what?[/QUOTE] the guy who wrote this ad wrote a variety of movies that have stuff like that in them if you actually believe this was somehow a display of what they'll do when they get to you or something, and not simply just a bad attempt at macabre humour, then you're quite silly i mean does this mean george carlin thinks rape is hilarious? [editline]05:45PM[/editline] facepunchers are always going on about "political correctness" and "people being too sensitive these days", now we're being super sensitive about a silly ad
I know what your driving at, but the macabre humor that the ad implies does not belong on mainstream television advertisement end of. It's message is ambiguous and over the top.

The thread title is confusing, why did you have to put the word axe in there?

[QUOTE=Dr. Deeps;25198815][img]http://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/firsts/cartoon/snake.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Way to miss the point of that comic completely.

[QUOTE=thisispain;25207740]you don't see us go into a thread about family guy and say "OH LOOK THOSE DUMB AMERICANS REALLY LIKE THEIR FART JOKES DON'T THEY" [/QUOTE] Actually I've seen quite some comments like that
I kind of like this idea.
No pressure.
[QUOTE=johan_sm;25215006]Actually I've seen quite some comments like that[/QUOTE] well it wasn't us

[QUOTE=s0beit;25218582][url]http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=65e_1286049488[/url] Wonderful.[/QUOTE] what an awful video "let me see what the korans says"
holy fuck that's great
[quote]To suggest that people who disagree with you deserve to die is incredibly stupid. Imagine if some Christian group in the US did that to gays, Muslims, or anyone else they disagree with. The outrage would be palpable. And deserved.[/quote] Well When you say everybody in a religion deserves to die, you're being intolerant. When you say everybody who is actively destroying the home that you share deserves to die, you're being a responsible roommate. [editline]05:14PM[/editline] The point of the advert isnt to threaten people or get a point accross. People found spontanious combustion funny, it's surprising, has shock value, and most importantly [B]ITS CONTROVERSIAL[/B] If you make a commercial that will get people all up in arms about how violent it is, then everyone will be talking about it. Word of mouth it the best form of advertisement. Anyone who posts this video on their blog and complains about its subject matter is already contributing to the campaign Congratulations, you've all been played by the green partyers.
[QUOTE=TH89;25199981]The overwhelming majority of climate scientists support it--a look at any one of the leading scientific publications will confirm that. The stuff you're parroting is a series of talking points promoted by the oil industry, particularly Koch, who have poured millions and millions of dollars into publicity campaigns to convince people it's all some kind of political scam. So yes, there is a conspiracy, but you've been suckered into looking completely the wrong direction.[/QUOTE] My god, the scientists who said the world was going into an ice age 30 years ago were all wrong.
Who cares if there's global warming or not? Who the hell wants to breath smog? who wants to see a fuckton of trash littering the streets.
"Hey I can't really cut down on my emissions because I'm not some rich bourgeois fuck. What little carbon dioxide emissions I create are nothing compared to most people's; I can't afford a car or many luxuries, my clothes are hand-me-downs and KABOOM
I believe in freedom of speech and expression but this ad is fucking stupid so no biggie.
Who the [b]fuck[/b] thought this was a good idea?
10:10 doesnt really do anything, what will is a change in the energy we use [editline]10:51PM[/editline] if you do not like are idea we will kill you or are they saying something about how we will all die if we ddo not change are ways?
I think this video sums up "green" campaigners quite well.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;25231587]My god, the scientists who said the world was going into an ice age 30 years ago were all wrong.[/QUOTE] They didn't say that. 30 years ago they said the same thing they're saying now.

I use as much energy as I want and I'd like to see some hippie try to stop me.
This is shock tactics 101, and it worked perfectly. Adverts can be completely irrelevent, google united colours of benetton ads for another example. The content can be as random as fuck, but in the end you're all thinking about the importance of climate change, or at least acknowledging subsconsciously that something has to be, or should be done.
Reminds me of [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2-IG8LpsaM&feature=fvw[/media] [editline]02:00PM[/editline] [QUOTE=BANNED USER;25205110]If you don't cut carbon emissions people will press a button that blows you up :saddowns: Oh well, it's a British ad so couldn't expect anything more clever.[/QUOTE] Leave. Now.
Funny thought but in real life the amount of carbon emissions it would take to create that amount of explosives and implant them into someone covertly would be rather large.
[QUOTE=markg06;25197283]It should've been taken down because it's idiotic.[/QUOTE] It shouldn't be taken down because it's damn hilarious
