Yes, there are lies and distortions, and these are all worthy in their own right. But few examples of propaganda quite live up to the Duck and Cover standard of pure absurdity. But the baldfaced preposterousness of dismissing growing concern over global atmospheric conditions and the role careless human activity may be playing in the same as essentially slander against a molecule, and that producing this molecule in vast quantities is tantamount to pumping life straight into the air is chutzpah enough to make even jaded propagandists sit up and take notice.
I recommend the president hire the auters of this ad immediately. They could have been on the forefront of the Katrina response:
“Water is essential to life. Some people don’t want New Orleans teeming with life. Imagine if they got their way.”
I am negotiating with them now for my own campaign supporting kinetic energy. Without kinetic energy, there is no life! People, please, don’t let alarmists koooks tell you not to step in front of busses!
Well, you know, I’ve been hearing rumors, but I only recently saw the actual video. Mind you, this is the same week that major competition arose on the Daily Show. I’m still not sure the guy from the gas industry wasn’t just fooling around, but he sure seemed to be seriously trying to kid somebody that it’s dangerous to pump your own gas. Something about what if you slip and fall under your car and douse yourself in gasoline and then try and light a cigarette?
I’m not going to subscribe to your old school view of chemistry man!! It’s a whole new world out that just waiting to be released from its shackles! Down with the scientific elitists and up with the liberal view of gases. Be free my gaseous brothers, be free!
