10:10 exploding skeptical children video "disappears"

Well, well, somebody came to their senses. About two hours ago, around 6:30AM PST, 10:10 took down their disgusting video showing school children were skeptical of carbon reduction suggestions from their teacher, get blown up in a gory bloodbath that covered other students with gore. It was first covered at WUWT here:

O…M…G – Video explodes skeptical kids in bloodbath

The is what the “No Pressure”website at http://www.1010global.org/no-pressure says now:

The movie title is rather ironic now, isn’t it? Surely, they felt some pressure. Here’s what happens when you visit the clip on YouTube.

The preview thumbnail is still there:

But when you press play you get this:

The URL for the video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UHN3zHoYA0

Directs you to the main page of YouTube now, so you can’t view the hundreds (perhaps thousands by this morning) of angry comments left about the video.

Even the “behind the scenes” making of the movie has been disappeared.

There’s nothing on their main website and nothing on their Twitter feed about the removals. They seem more than a bit embarrassed, and rightly so.

Richard North of the EUReferendum has a nice summary, complete with screencaps here

Finally, here’s my badge of honor, courtesy of “Hot Topic”, the major pro AGW site in New Zealand:

Yes, it was “obviously effective”….at making you all look like hateful fools.

Thanks for noticing!

But, the video continues to go viral, it’s been copied and is spreading across the Internet now, and there’s nothing they can do about it now. The rat is out of the bag.

UPDATE:

The 500+ comments for the original video are still visible here:

And, dozens of copies are now appearing in various places all over the net. Have a look in comments below for the links of your choice.

It looks like they are erasing things from recent history in much the same fashion as they erased the medieval warm period. ;->

Wonder if anyone made a copy?
REPLY: oh, scads, to be sure. I’ve already had about a dozen solicitations. It keeps showing up on YouTube now under various names – Anthony

Excellent of you and others to keep this visible.
Thank you for the work that you do, on so many fronts.

So Anthony finds it vile.
That is meant as some sort of lame slam.
Nevermind the thousands of other people that find it vile………
Now where did this ignorant, racist, bigoted, redneck leave his gun and bible……

“the rat is out of the bag.” Being a fan of “Ratatouille” I love it….
May these rats infest the internet- and I have helped where I can…

With the Internet and caching, it’s getting awfully hard for INGSOC to shove things down the memory hole isn’t it?

here’s a reality check for 10/10.
“UK renewable energy production falls for second time in 2010”
http://tinyurl.com/3ylfyny
and the UK taxpayers are only donating billions in subsidies to the “renewable” industry.
They can advertise, in apparent desperation, all they want. 10/10 is beyond a bad Monty Python sketch.

He?: Coincidence or cabalistic?, this shows an “esoteric” relation 🙂

UPDATE:
Anthony, I sent an email to Tottenham last night just before 1am GMT and got a reply almost straight away from one of their Directors stating that it was the first time they had seen the clip, 10:10 had released it without having shown Tottenham.
They said that they would be discussing it with 10:10 first thing in the morning and showing them my email.
In anticipation of this, I have a copy of the original however it makes the club look so bad, and it is otherwise run so well, I don’t plan on releasing it.

It is kind of proudly presented (text only) on their wikipedia site.

“No Pressure”
On Friday October 1, 2010, 10:10 released a short film in which people, including schoolchildren, are graphically blown to pieces for not taking action on climate change.[40] Written by Richard Curtis and Franny Armstrong, directed by Dougal Wilson, and featuring celebrities Gillian Anderson, David Ginola, Peter Crouch and Radiohead, the film has been described as ‘attention-grabbing’ and ‘pretty edgy'[41] It aimed to challenge the “no pressure” attitude towards climate change mitigation, since 10:10 believed there were only four years left in which to stabilise carbon dioxide emissions.[42]

Later on the day it was released, 10:10 removed the film from their website and YouTube following public disgust and outrage.[43]

“Doing nothing about climate change is still a fairly common affliction, even in this day and age. What to do with those people, who are together threatening everybody’s existence on this planet? Clearly we don’t really think they should be blown up, that’s just a joke for the mini-movie, but maybe a little amputating would be a good place to start?” […] “We ‘killed’ five people to make No Pressure – a mere blip compared to the 300,000 real people who now die each year from climate change”
—Franny Armstrong, founder of 10:10

Anthony, for all we know, this may be “the shot heard ’round the world”!
The falling polar-bear commercial was bad for its imagery (and mocking the jumpers of the World Trade Towers), but this will resonate with parents and grandparents everywhere!!
Who do these people think they are? A day of reckoning may be coming, this video could be as significant as Climategate in moving people’s opinions. If they removed it, they know that they have gone too far.

Too late, baby.
People know nasty psychos when they see them.
And seeing what 10:10 really thinks shows exactly that.

This video needs to be completely viral, and everyone needs to see what AGW extremists really think and really want to do.

GOOD!
And good for WUWT – it shows how you and other sites are influential.
I posted under the YT video to say that it displayed the same psychology as terrorism, and that the victims of atrocities in Omagh and Dunblane would not be able to see the funny side of the blood spattered scenes.

The whole thing is disgusting. It incites and condones violence against skeptics.
Gives a whole new meaning to Gore. So that’s where Al got his name.

Even the disappearance of the offensive video smacks of 1984esque totalitarianism.
