Have a Carbon-Neutral Christmas...
2006-12-15
...by offsetting methane produced by Santa's reindeer. I *s* you not:
What do reindeer do when they're not flying around the world delivering presents?

They graze, burp and fart!

Did you know? Together, Santa's nine reindeer - Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and Rudolph - produce 3.75 tonnes of greenhouse gas pollution per year. We guarantee that if you choose to offset the pollution created by Santa's reindeer, we will reduce CO2 pollution by 3.75 tonnes. You'll receive a certificate and special Carbon Neutral Christmas card confirming that you've made Santa's reindeer Carbon Neutral!


Quantity: (Single Item Price: $75.00 AUD)

Total Price: $75.00 AUD

#5  this circus will be passes off as the evening news on at least 3 of the major networks.

Bugger-all will ever be said about this on the news. It's got the right political slant, so it's immune.

#4  Ya know, I have a star named after me, and I kinda like it. I know it's bogus and all, but at least somebody loves me.

This horrible hateful scheme is just horrible and hateful.

#1  Sad commentary: there will be some gullibles out there ( usually with a Calphoney or other tree-hugging ZIP Code) that, after they send in their $$, will realize that this is only slightly more useless than a pet rock and will then hire a shyster lawyer and another media circus will follow. this circus will be passes off as the evening news on at least 3 of the major networks. if the chump involved is a minority, or illegal expect the frenzy to be super-sized....(disclaimer: First born is a lawyer and even he would not touch this proposed case)
