sorry to be a bit serious
but Sting has just been on itv news saying the best way to cut greenhouse gasses is to increase green taxes...

what right does a tax exempt million, with all his money hoarded in offshore accounts, have to tell people this.

'do good' famous people really grind my gears i just had to vent this little ditty

ITV believes that
celebrities are a higher authority on every subject. I don't mind him saying it but that was the only channel that reported it.

It does have the movie and "extras"
But I suppose I could get it all for less than £80 if I play the offers.

I like this site.
I await the addition of The Runaway Bride

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
In other news, I just used hair straighteners on my fringe.

It was surprisingly pleasant
and left the tips of my fringe all lovely and feathered.
In yet another development in my life, I rediscovered how much I love
A) System of A Down
B) Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of The Worlds

You're disappointed in my musical tastes?
I lapsed into my old nu-metal tastes for a bit, plus I've loved WoTW for aaaaages.

Not the 2nd

I like them more for their lyrics
They're not my FAVOURITE band evar!
That honour goes to either
AFI
or
Nirvana
(I helped save b3ta! DarkSideOfTheSpoon is 100% back, for now anyway., Wed 27 Dec 2006, 19:32, archived)
Mine would be either
My Chemical Romance
or
Paramore
(I helped save b3ta! iEC: Redux Hands up., Wed 27 Dec 2006, 19:35, archived)
EVAR?
Paramore?
(I helped save b3ta! DarkSideOfTheSpoon is 100% back, for now anyway., Wed 27 Dec 2006, 19:37, archived)
Yes.
I like her voice. And I'd like to say that she is sexier in real life.

I have similar feelings about the lead singer of
Tsunami Bomb.
They were brill live.

Hayley still wins for me.
There's something great about a ginger 17 year old announcing that she "loves to get her tshirt wet for the guys"
(I helped save b3ta! iEC: Redux Hands up., Wed 27 Dec 2006, 19:46, archived)
By which she means
"My band will sell more records if I appear slightly dirty for the teenage boys."
They're a good band, but still.

I know that.
It was kind of funny though.

Family Guy:
The only TV show the staff of The Simpsons and the staff of South Park universally agree is crap.

a threat to their ratings plagiaristic non-funny crap written by manatees

Everyone knows that manatees are THE funniest animals on earth.
FACT!

I'm divided.
On one hand, celebrities bring attention to causes

But on the other hand, why should I care what a schoolteacher named Gordon Sumner turned singer thinks about greenhouse gases?

On the third hand, nuclear radiation can lead to birth defects.

We all know that the best way to stop poverty
is to force millionaires to donate a hefty wodge of cash to developing countries in an effort to encourage development.

Rather than encouraging us poor stiffs to do it for them.
(I helped save b3ta! DarkSideOfTheSpoon is 100% back, for now anyway., Wed 27 Dec 2006, 19:18, archived)
Donations always encourage development

I agree that it's not the only solution
but they make a fuckload more in a month than I'll ever earn in my life.
So I think it's only fair that they put their unspent millions to work.

How do you know he has all his money in offshore accounts?
And, should they be offshore, that has fuck all to do with green taxes anyway. Regardless of his tax status, he still pays the same as us for airline and car fuel taxes.
