Comments on: Die, greenhouse pig http://www.joannejacobs.com/2008/05/die-greenhouse-pig/ Thinking and Linking by Joanne Jacobs Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:51:22 +0000 hourly 1 By: Glitchus http://www.joannejacobs.com/2008/05/die-greenhouse-pig/#comment-36475 Glitchus Thu, 29 May 2008 03:48:55 +0000 http://joannejacobs.com/2008/05/26/die-greenhouse-pig/#comment-36475 If you play the propaganda tool um, "game" you can actually live like AlGore by selecting all of the high "carbon (BS) footprint" answers (watching your pig swell all the while) but the key is in the last question. If you slide your spending bar to show that you invest in "enviro-friendly" products and even better, enviro-corporations/investments (ie carbon credits) your piggy shrinks to a little piglet and floats away, then you are greeted with the message that "you can live forever". It seems that the key is to live it up anyway and give all of your money to the "Goreacle". What a bunch of pig poo (shoveled on us by a bunch of hypocrites!)

This reminds me of PETA's perverse distribution of comic books convincing kids that their parents are murderers for hunting or even buying meat products.
