The most shocking thing to me... is that this is actually a commercial BY those deranged psychopaths and not someone else making fun of how they are all eco-terrorists.

If it was made by anyone else as a "parody" of their fanaticism it would have been a disgusting blood libel (no matter how much I disagree with them I wouldn't put such words in their mouth). But since they themselves made it... frankly I found the movie to be simply threatening, not "grotesque macabre humor", but an open ended death threat.

They did remove the video from their website after much backlash.

I agree it would be a "Daisy" type of ad if done by the opposition - until they did it.  But then they have already shown an inclination and willingness to perform these acts in reality anyway.  They are desperate because the science does not support their agenda.  In other words, they lied.  They tried to attach their radical agenda to a lie and when the lie was exposed (as it almost always is), they have become violent.

As for the Fox link, let me clarify a couple of my points.  1, I knew they pulled it from THEIR site, but since Google bought Youtube, they have been thoroughly cowed and quick to pull any videos when even a hint of a letter from a lawyer is indicated.  Although since this one was done with public (albeit UK) money and aired for public consumption, any 2 bit lawyer could easily get such a SLAP suit dismissed.

And 2, I referenced the "non-biased" media since everyone knows Fox speaking the truth means it is biased.  I found it on Fox.  But so far, have not seen a word on CNN about it (but I do understand the NYTimes made a mention of it on page A-39).

What a disappointment CNN is turning out to be.

I saw this video on another site (not FOX) a few days ago (just can't recall now). The message it should be sending is what will happen to the few that get in the Eco-terrorists way and that if you keep your mouth shut and approve their agenda you will be fine. People in general are stupid, or at least unwilling to think for themselves.

The AD is counting on that, but I think at leas some are waking up from the drug induced trance they have been subjected to by the MSM.

I long ago lost respect for CNN, and rarely read more than their political blog posts (and then just to see how wrong they can get it).

They have really bought into that "Tea Party is a radical right-wing movement" philosophy. I'm not a Tea Party member, but I find myself defending them because they do seem to express the common Americans view point, despite the name calling levied against them. Every poll seems to indicate that. Don't CNN research that for themselves before they spout off, insinuating 70% of Americans are fringe crackpots? At the very least it shows lack of being in touch with the country (or bias). At worst it puts them in the propaganda for the left category. No attempt at impartiality.

Well, that was rather disturbing... and stupid. I'm not sure I get the point of blowing people up. I mean I understand the concept but with so many ways to point out the ones who didn't want to participate, why blow them up? And so graphically?

The should have changed the "no preasure" line to "or else". It would have been more honest and more straight forward. Not that this was not straight forward in a sense. And this was actually put on TV in Europe?

My God what have we come to?

Definitely the latter.  It has been a slide, but since MSNBC started beating them I guess they figured if they could not beat them, join them.  But they are too stupid to realize that Fox is wining because they are the most balanced NEWS organization.  They are right when it comes to commentary, but they play it straight on the news, and most people (that are not just idiots) want to get the truth and decide for themselves.  CNN and MSNBC are basically fighting over a shrinking market.  And letting Fox walk off with the lions share.

Did you check out Taltamir's link?  It was a Fox piece, but it also displayed the web sites "apology" which was basically "We thought it was funny!".  They are sick people. It is funny to them because human life is worthless to them.  They are the people that made the old USSR and Third Reich possible due to their indifference to people.

They have developed a bunker mentality.  In other words, not being for them is being against them.  There is no middle ground.  So no pressure to them is the same as "or else".

It simulates reality... if they said "or else" then everyone will CLAIM to be "with them"... if they say "no pressure" they can single out their enemies easier (for elimination).

It is such a callous, matter of fact type of execution... it is how you would go about squashing a roach. The enemy is not a human, but a sub-human bug to squish. They were "just joking" the same way ahmadinejad is "just saying it to appease the populace" when he says he wants to wipe out israel. I think they are serious. I am actually not offended by the concept of macabre humor (not that I find it funny), but the difference between macabre humor and a death threat is the context.

A KKK member who "jokes" about lynching african americans isn't using macabre humor. A neo-nazi "joking" about jews being sent to death camps isn't really "joking". A "humor movie" depicting the author of said movie murdering a political figure would not be "just a joke" when he is brought up on death threat charges.

The context of this piece is "we are going to murder our political opponents", it is a threat.

Great points and analogies!

it is a threat, but I do not think they have the humanity to see it as murder.  As you said, we do not give a second thought to squashing a roach, and neither do they.  It is just our definition of what is a roach that is different.

I'm gonna take your word for this, because I can't take looking at all that blood. I can't deal with extremists. It's like the horrific response/saying "because I said so..."

You guys need to develop a sense of humor. 

They're pathetic in content & message, sure, but superbly done and funny as hell if you ask me.  Reminiscent of the stuff viralvideos.org has been doing for years.

As someone mentioned, as a Monty Python Skit, sure.  As an ad for their cause?  I guess you can say you like it if you think Biden is some kind of Svengali speaker.

Nothing against a little humor, just the way the content of the message (and it is intended as a message) is delivered on unsuspecting people. I wouldn't have a problem if someone went to a show to see this sort of thing. Otherwise it leads some folks to believe others are expendable if they don't act or feel a certain way. Remember "life not worth living" in the 1930's? IMO there is enough brutalization of humans by other humans for ideological reasons today, without promoting it so casually. I suppose it is still a little soon after 1945 for my tastes.

Hey,  I laugh at just about anything, I just think some things just arent funny.
