Imagine paying someone to be a pr*ck
GreenpeaceAustralia asked:
Check out this new video by Greenpeace which features a song “It’s like paying someone to be a pr*ck”, written by The Chaser’s Andrew Hansen and recorded by a new group, the “Coaly Moleys”.
What would you do with $1.2 billion dollars? Give it to a big, greedy polluter or invest it in renewable energy?
Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, is planning to compensate coal power companies for the introduction of emissions trading and we have only six weeks to stop him!

You can help the campaign by posting this video to your site, your facebook, and sending it on to your friends.
Being vegetarian is not solely about animal cruelty issues. Personally, I am vegetarian primarily because of the environmental concerns.
How ’bout: we stop eating meat AND drive electric cars AND have renewable energy?
This is a very good commercial. It makes you think, and it is just plain silly!
you are all ***** the point of this video is to put money into solar energy or hydro energy not use it to invest into coal mining and powerplants. Also Mr. Logicbeatslies being a vegetarian is just sating no to animal cruelty and you are being extremly selfish and rude to say that.
They’re all actors. None of them are Hansen, but he wrote the song
which one is hansen?
hahhahah Rampaging Coal!!!
Such an awesome vid!!!
“Imaging Paying Someone to be A prick”
We pay and pay and pay someone to be a …..
Good Morning/Evening Logic. You are so so right.
Just our children’s shows
uhm … lay off those wacky herbs dood
*LOLZ*
lame, camp… that is Australian humour, right?
No way, this is not Australian humour. It is fucking lame, camp bullshit
The fact they are mostly vegetarians says it all.
… and the same researches swear black and blue there are 1 million minke whales and they should be harvested because that is how you control fish sticks, even though they don’t eat fish and modest counts say 350k.
Anyhow, kangaroos don’t fart, next time I throw a H666 barbie I’ll give you a taste
(continued) By comparison, were you to trade in your conventional gas-guzzler for a state of the art Prius hybrid, your CO2 savings would amount to little more than one tonne per year.”
“Researchers at the University of Chicago have calculated the relative carbon intensity of a standard vegan diet in comparison to a US-style carnivorous diet, all the way through from production to processing to distribution to cooking and consumption. An average burger man (that is, not the outsize variety) emits the equivalent of 1.5 tonnes more CO2 every year than the standard vegan. (continued)
“Researchers at the National Institute of Livestock and Grassland Science in Japan have carried out a life-cycle analysis of beef production which shows that ‘a kilogram of beef leads to the emission of greenhouse gases with a warming potential equivalent of 36.4 kilograms of CO2′ (New Scientist, 21.7.07). To help you get your head around this, that’s equivalent to the amount of CO2 emitted by the average car over a distance of 250 kilometres.”
A meat eater riding a bike is worse for global warming than a vegan driving a Hummer.
Greenpeace and other green groups need to start presenting ALL the facts to the public. Numerous scientific reports including UN FAO reports reveal that the meat and dairy industry are worse for global warming than all automotive industries combined. Methane is the culprit. Green groups need to start addressing the other “Inconvenient Truth” that adopting a plant based diet is THE best personal action one can take to address global warming. Go vegan to address climate change.
Ahh, Aussie humor. Nothing quite like it.
Excellent work. It’s time for the coal companies to go.
Why not invest some of the money in personal rapid transit (PRT)? Look it up in YouTube, FaceBook and Google.
We don’t need a metro, build a cheaper and more effective PRT system.
I think this should really go onto commercial TV!!! Awesome work!!!!
Awesome!!! Thanks Andrew Hansen
