Thumbs down 10:10's Disgusting new Climate Change video

Environmental campaigners 10:10 have withdrawn a film showing a teacher graphically exploding two of her students who refuse to reduce their carbon emissions, after complaints.

In a statement, the group apologised to anyone offended.

The film aimed to "bring this critical issue back into the headlines whilst making people laugh", the group said.

Starring Gillian Anderson it was scripted by Richard Curtis, whose films include Four Weddings and a Funeral.

It was directed by a leading commercials director.

In the film, which was subsequently posted to Youtube and which contains disturbing images, a teacher invites her class to take part in the environmental campaign. Two children, who do not want to, are asked why.

The teacher tells them: "Fine, it's absolutely fine. It's your own choice."

But moments later she presses a button and the children explode into a mess.

Similar scenes are played out in an office where four workers are blown up and a football training session where footballer David Ginola, who also says he does not want to do his bit to combat climate change, disappears in an explosion.

In the final scene, Gillian Anderson, who provides the voice- over is similarly dispatched after saying she thought doing the voice over was enough of a contribution to the campaign.
Ok, when your targeting big corporations with the whole man-made global warming myth its kind of forgivable. But I have always been digusted by how these so called 'environmental activists' are targeting and installing fear into ordinary people when they haven't done anything wrong and this disgusting video is just the last straw. Here's the flithy piece of propaganda, I figured it would be ok to post it since it does require you to be 18 to watch it, but if its not a mod can remove the link.

But anyway, heres a better climate change film...

Age strikes again!

EDIT: Found it somewhere. That.... isn't very good.

I saw this on the news. Pretty stupid really and totally out of order. Least it's not from the government this time. Need I mention THIS advert the previous government put out last year which is nothing short of psychological terror?

Psychological terror? You're exaggerating a lot there.

What else is it? It clearly aims to scare children into getting their parents to be more "green".

That's not psychological terror.

Also, no-one that I've spoken to has had that opinion. Now, I may be wrong, but doesn't that show something?

Well it's certainly psychological and depending on how you look at it it could be terror.

It's an opinion. Nobody's right or wrong and whether or not you know people who share that same opinion is irrelevant.
