Bloody deaths of CGI polar bears in Plane Stupid ad designed to highlight carbon impact of air travel

#11  Thanks, badanov! It's even about the right ratio, too! And the folks in the office who are inclined to be offended by this kind of stuff are just going to have to bite their tongues off after I send them the link to the ad after they bi+ch about my cool new screensaver.

I wonder if any of those bears landed on a Prius.

Not yet, but I just made a wallpaper just for you:

Dead polar bears

Click to download the link, not this image which is twice the size of this image.

#7  Should be pretty easy to photoshop it so that the bruins fall on Gore, Phil Jones, the other climate shills scientists....

#6  This would be improved immensely if they spliced in Warner Brothers cartoon sound effects. Maybe of Wile E. Coyote falling off a cliff, boings, honks, and aroogahs.

#5  It seems as though the ad agency was working on a shoestring budget and we will see these ads on this side of the pond in short order. Since everybody knows that Americans are the REAL evil guys around, it only makes sense that when polar bears fall to their deaths out of the sky, it is US doing it.

#4  I like how the polar bear lands on top of what looks like an old Caddy halfway through. Are there that many old Caddies in the UK? I mean, shouldn't it have been a Jag or Range Rover instead? And the "all day parking" sign boasts a $20 charge. Somehow....I don't think there are many lots (or carparks, sorry) in the UK that charge in USD.

So....since I'm a stooopid hick in flyover country, I'm thinking maybe the European flights are ok. It's those damn Yankee flights that are killing the polar bears!

Quick! Someone contact the Goracle!

#3  This is in the U.K.

Do ya' think the audience members will be arrested for being "insufficiently sensitive" or some such crap when they all burst out laughing?

#2  You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me.

Has anyone told Planetstupid (fitting name, no?) about the global warming "time-out" that's currently baffling the world's leading climatologists?
