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

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

#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! |

#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? |
