Last week on that Charlie Brooker's TV thing
an embittered American comic blamed global warming on the clunge-fruit of stupid people, who were unable to stop themselves from procreating.

Now, while I agreed partly with what he was saying, I also couldn't help thinking that people had always been having children, and the only thing that had changed was that now we are all living longer.

So whose fault is it? Do we sterilise the stupid, or euthanise the old?

first new thread by me ever, so be nice, or fuck off

Third option
Feed the homeless to the hungry.

alternatively
build shelters out of the hungry for the homeless

Let's combine more options
Build a cafeteria out of the stupid in which the hungry can eat the homeless.

in that case we should build television sets out of celebrities
that way the attention-seeking, talentless twats will always be on telly.

Hohoho

I like your way of thinking.

why limit your options?
euthanise the old AND the stupid, feed THEM to the hungry, then use the newly fed people as slaves to build me a giant floating pot plantation where i can string up a hammock and chill to some tunes. thus reducing my carbon footprint.

It is quite clearly
the fault of 'the darkies'.

As in "how dare they use white medicine to stop them dying like flies"
Blame do gooding white doctors who go to "their" countries and heal them. Bloody do gooders, its medicine's fault, we should use homeopathic remedies.

Ironically
the flies are actually thriving over there - you can see them, they're always buzzing around children's faces in those Comic Relief clips.

Incidentally, I like close-to-the-knuckle comedy as much as the next chap, but some of those clips aren't really all that funny, even by my standards. I'm surprised they don't get complaints about them.

That's what the remote control is for.
So you don't have to watch the serious bits.

They're funnier than the so-called humourous bits,
the irony of Dawn fucking French campaigning to help starving people excepted.

She's doing her bit for the hungry
by eating them.

There are a lot more of us too.
The 20th Century saw the population of the world at least double and whilst Enzyme assures me this is perfectly sustainable, there is a whole lot more consumption going on leading to climate change (allegedly).
