First, apologies in advance.
No, not Lou Ferrigno. Not Shrek either. Green Hornet? Monbiot? Romm? nuh uh.
In marketing, they say “sex sells”. Global warming now “climate change” is all about marketing and being “green”. Our carbonic hero Al Gore does scads of green marketing.
So, it was only a matter of time before sex, green, and global warming merged. It was inevitable really. Soon, we’ll probably see the “green issue” of Playboy.
Brace yourself for the next level in green marketing…
Witness AngryGreenGirl.com
Yes that’s right, a green “skin” website advertising itself as “We’re hot green, and shameless”.
NBC in Los Angeles describes it as:
The goal is to use a little flesh to bring attention to a good cause — eco-friendly products. As part of the AngryGreenGirl.com launch, bikini models provided car washes Tuesday morning in Hollywood. There was a catch — you had to be driving a hybrid or electric vehicle.
The owner of this angry green hot marketing tool, Sofia Pernas says:
“Our whole motto is provocative with a purpose,” said Pernas, a 20-year-old actress who lives in Los Angeles. “We’re females exploiting what we’ve got to grab any sort of attention.”
“What better way to induce people to come than girls in bikinis washing their cars?” Pernas said.
Here’s one of the videos:
As I said, it is only a matter of time.
What is the message being marketed? I have no idea.
Hmmm, is that a “hockey-stick” in your theory or just happy to see me?
LOL
hmm…
Just more evidence that sex comes at a steep price…
OMG She’s like sooo hot. I wanna be green too…
Here’s a great example of garbage reporting/green propaganda on CNN:
It’s wrong on so many levels and something tells me that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Buckle up and let’s see where the green propaganda machine takes us next…
Hmm, hot and spicy… just the way I like it…
Coming up: “Green Girls Gone Wild”… $19.95 S&H included. Place your order now!
Maybe a little ot- but isn’t Lucia kickin at

and i’d like to propose a quote of the week- though it didn’t happen here-
“Screw him and screw you. This is science and nobody is going to pull punches when we see wrong crap being promoted and disseminated like this latest dreck from Tamino.
You get bloodied up in science sometimes. It’s part of the art.”

From the Blackboard in regard to Tamino
Lame and desperate. Must be Monbiot’s number one site to visit when he isn’t driving his wife and kids up the wall with his egomaniacal rambling at home.
Cults have always used sex as an enticement to join…. This is no different.
Join the AGW sex cult today…..
Science pimps it’s climate Pro;-)
Sigh. It’s so sad to see.
The Swiftboats are out in full force. Anybody can launch them.
Trouble is, when folks see them now, they know Watts Up With That.
They did not work the last election.
They may backfire heavily if I have the political winds gauged right.
Being that the people making the decisions are not elected, it makes it ever more apt to blow up on the originators.
Once stooped to that level, there’s no climbing back up.
Actually, the silly video never said anything false. It wasn’t about global warming; it was about normal conservation things.
They do have a global warming video and it’s a hoot. What is it with stupid people thinking they are smart, anyway?
What is angry, hot, and green?
OMG….That’s my ex-wife at an embryonic stage.
Just The Facts (21:41:46) :
What can you say…an iceberg cleaving. The sad
thing is, he really doesn’t know how foolish he
looks.
Nobody with a brain believes in AGW, so they’re appealing to a different organ.
Ummm…what’s she so angry about?
The house that the video was filmed in seems pretty spacious… how much dirty fossil fuel will it take to keep it warm during winter times? This from an urban dweller who is confined in his rather shabby 100-year old, 300-sq. ft. apartment (with no dishwasher and AC)…
Angry? Hot? Green?
Jalapeños!!!! (Chili)
Yep, a website hosted on a server powered by…. Electricity. Probably generated by coal fired power station.
Available to PC’s everywhere powered by…. Electricity. Generated by lots of coal fired and nuclear power stations.
Which can be accessed on a network that needs electricity to run. Generated by even more power stations.
How green can you get?
Hypocricy, thy name is green
Wait a minute. Aren’t sex, drugs, and rock and roll the means by which the (world) population got dumbed down in the first place?
Frivolity and easy morals are not the solution, although they are fun. If it feels good, do it. But please get out of the way when the adults are working.
What message is being marketed?
“What better way to induce people to come than girls in bikinis washing their cars?” Pernas said.”
What an interesting turn of phrase the lady has…
I thought it was a novel way to discuss sensible conservation issues of the domestic variety……a way to reach a new target audience.
She keeps mentioning ‘saving money’,but is anybody impressed by saving $50/year on a water saving showerhead ?,did they even listen to what she said ????
She could even be employed with the right financial incentive to change sides, humor and sex could be used to dispel AGW myths
“What is it with stupid people thinking they are smart, anyway?”
Everyone has a right to an opinion, but no duty to think before they speak.
One must wonder if air-head Angry Green Girl advocates not using paper towels? Instead, use an old t-shirt (not that she has any, of course). Then, wipe up the mess with the old t-shirt and …. oops, can’t wash it because one must ONLY wash with a full load of clothes. So, just drop the messy t-shirt into the dirty clothes hamper until wash-day.
Never mind the smell.
Never mind the unsanitary air she must breathe, and bugs and other critters attracted to the filthy t-shirt.
Enviro-whackos.
They’ll earn my credibility when they practice what they preach: give up all products derived from petroleum, walk or bicycle everywhere they go (no public transportation – hey that uses petroleum!), grow their own food (cannot shop at stores because goods arrived there in trucks powered by petroleum), and spin, then weave their own fabrics (no synthetics made from petroleum), and never ever set foot on a carpet (made from synthetic fibers). No medicines or pharmaceuticals (also made from that evil petroleum). No makeup, hair coloring, shampoos, conditioners, rinses, or other “personal products” (also made from petroleum).
Go ahead, greenie-weenies. Show me. Be my instructor. Give up every single thing in your life that is made from petroleum.
Next week we’ll work on life without that evil eco-destroying thing: electricity from fossil fuels.
Then we will work on growing your own food without any synthetic fertilizers or pesticides or herbicides — all made from petroleum or natural gas (which, contrary to confused San-Fran Nan Nancy Pelosi, really IS a fossil fuel).
I understand that Angry Green Girl is currently shooting a video in the Arctic. It features her pole dancing.
I wonder what range of services will be on offer. I suppose it’ll be anything from a quick spit-and-polish to a full buffing.
Hot, green and angry. It’s Hulk III — the Hulk goes to Texas.
I doubt they realise that by cleaning electric cars that are actually cleaning cars that are 60% coal-powered. Surely they’d be better off cleaning solar-powered, wind-assisted, biomass enhanced bicycles.
What about vehicles 100% fuelled by famine (sorry, I meant ethanol)? What service will they get? [snip]
Sticky keyboard this morning guys again, me thinks – don’t read anything into that!!! I have had a minor power outage as I typed.
Frederick Michael:-) I agree she hasn’t actually said anything controversial but somewhat practical.
jorgekafkazar;-) I was always taught that the most important organ measured only 6″! The brain.
I was a little dissappointed in the rather sarcastic & slightly racist humour that only people in the uncivilized world do not wash their clothes, & taken to the logical conclusion, themselves also. So that’s some Christians, Muslims, Jews, Sikhs, Hindus, Buddists insulted just for starters. Hot, Angry, Green, & prepared to insult anybody around the world. Splendid! I dare say it all depends on where she wishes to draw the geographical borders between what she considers civilized & uncivilized.
Will I get a carwash if I drive up in something like a Volvo V50 DRIVe Station Wagon that gets me 60 mpg (US)? Thats 70 mpg in the UK.
The 2009 Prius only gets 50 mpg(US) and it has lots of extra stuff in it that takes energy and CO2 to manufacture.
The V50 is of course a common-rail Diesel and will not be imported to the US because yanks a bit…………………..
