Why jbella? Some of us non-hysterics who actually PRACTICE what THEY preach don’t like their motives.

Sean Penn’s chain smoking. Do cigs (or fags) emit toxins? I’m not sure what the numbers are but it surely kills over 500,000 people each year. And how many people died in Iraq this year? Not 500,000. So what actually does Sean dislike about the war? He promoted smoking at Cannes. So death isn’t the issue. Is it?

As for Al Gore’s private jet. Since when do fictional productions get awards. The Innconvenient Truth is exactly THAT. It’s not a documentary. Yet it took the Oscar.

I’m a capitalist. I loath socialism and marxism. Humans can’t be trusted not to be unproductive and lazy if what should be EARNED is put in our laps.

I practice. They preach. It is “THEY” I want hell and gone from policy.

“And why on earth is Lexus giving a “gift” to one of the richest people in Britain in the first place?”

He’s done a lot of commercials for Lexus.

I think he’s crazy nowadays, but he’s Paul McCartney. He earned the right to be a prick sometimes.

Personally, I think it’s a bit silly of the press to keep harping on things like this. For example, we are constantly hearing about how big Al Gore’s carbon footprint is due to his flying around giving his slideshow on global warming.

Of course its true that his carbon footprint will be large due to his traveling, but it’s his traveling and presentations that have made countless people aware that they even have a carbon footprint. As a result I see a lot of ordinary people making decisions to reduce their carbon footprint in way that they probably never would have before.

If Paul McCartney driving around in a flown in hybrid Lexus causes more people to consider switching to higher milage cars then I think he can be forgiven for the extra carbon it took to get his car.

I mean if Sir Paul wanted a Lexus limo, he could write out a check.

Shesh!

Brits who complain about geek toy prices really get screwed oveer on wheels. That price is 60% higher than MSRP in the States.

This vegan/eco thing has becoma a joke and just a publicity jingle.

This fits like a glove with ads made by the common people to lure customers.

Just last week I read the following nonsense to try have more customers on a spa kinda store:

“Bio Seaweed Gel”

Sir Paul is just doing his bio seaweed ad.

This is just another example of how stupid and useless is the Ecological Economy. I’m sure that if he kept using is HOLD limo there would be so much less impact on the environment than the building, shipping, and using of his new “you think you’re saving earth but instead you’re killing it” limo.
Why don’t ecologist aim at RE-USE instead of making people buying stuff they already have home but earth friendly? All this nonsense about the not-so-earth-friendly trend makes me sick.
But who cares about P.McCartney anyway?

Just another “look at what you dont have you freedom loving sheep” articles. Free to be exploited by our lanky, gangly, british overlords.

When is it our turn to build their pyramid shaped tombs?

Sir Paul also should have first inspected the Lexus factory for carbon-infractions after having ridden a Shetland pony there.

I agree with Serrin, if it was a regularly scheduled KAL flight, the “carbon footprint” is zero. Paul’s a dick, but this is a non issue.

Poor Paul.
I love the guy, but he’s gone a little nutty over the years.
