digg – NYC 5th Ave Apple Store Glass Cube Attacked with Green Lights by Activists
I was originally gonna post with a link to the Greenpeace article, but the digg link is so much better. The comments contained within are priceless:
i hope those lights don’t run on batteries.
Right, I’m sure Apple uses some bizarre amount of harmful chemicals. Target somebody worthwhile. I think the setup to this little event went something like this:
Greenpeacer #1: Dude, I heard that, like, Apple, like, uses chemicals in their computers.
Greenpeacer #2: Man, that’s bogus.
#1: I know. We should, like, do something about it.
#2: Yeah, but I’m way too stoned
#1: What if we just go shine a bunch of lights at that big glass box on 5th avenue?
#2: Can they be green?
#1: Sure.
#2: I’m in, dude.Hippy/attention whore is a dangerous combination.
My favorite comment has got to be this one:
Friends, there is a much more serious threat to our environment than Apple. This offender leeches thousands of tons of sulphur and smoke into the atmosphere every year. It ruins natural habitats, killing countless millions of plants and animals, turning their habitats into barren wastelands. Who are these gross murderers, you ask? They only go by one name…
Volcano
What are these kids thinking? Do they not understand how we, as a race, do things? Their coats, their shoes, their food, and (in this case) their flashlights with green filters are all made without regard to any environmental concerns! What about the digital cameras they used to record the event, or the servers used to host their website? If they really believed what they preach, Greenpeace couldn’t exist. Rather, it could, but all its members would live in the wilderness. Except that wouldn’t work, because they’d still need to eat, which means they’d have to kill animals and/or destroy foliage. Greenpeace is self-defeating. All the little hippy rich kids need to go home and do something productive. Like sending me some of their rich parents’ money.
