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.

That was just deliciously obscene on so many levels.
Well done!
I thought Star Trek (T.O.) did the Green Girl thing like, in the 70s…
You know, when The Jet Age was just getting started…
FWIW, I’ve mapped the growth of thermometers at Airports by latitude and found that AGW is really measuring the growth of The Jet Age…

Not only do the thermometers migrate south to the Tropics over time, they move in ever larger numbers onto Airports…
I think we need to start documenting the effect of AHI (AIRPORT Heat Island) effect on the temperature record…
Well, our “environment minister” certainly isn’t green…

Nice little earner. Who will pay for the carbon offsets?
Top Gear on the Prius:
Prius more Enviromentally damaging than Bmw m3
Are hybrids really more fuel efficient?
The last movie is the best test. (not from top gear)
Oh, yeah?!?!?
Well, take this:

“Freedom is Sexy!”
and
” I’m just a dorkalicious hippie, deep down.”
Fight hot with hotter, that’s what I say!

Not exactly the same “Green” focus, but the same mindset. This is a nice satirical piece focusing on the kind of BS exhibited by Angry green girl and that whole Hollywood, NYC crowd. Good for a a laugh. http://www.theonion.com/content/news/socialites_without_borders_teach?utm_source=a-section
I look at “Greengirl” and wonder if she takes showers an uses deodorant?…
“Bathing is a foreign concept to many of you?” Was she talking to the hippies?
I just clicked “No” on their poll question about paying extra for recycling and it came back 100% yes, 0% no.
I remember the pilot episode of Star Trek TOS (repackaged into the episode ‘The Menagere’) that featured a green dancing slave girl. What was the name of those green aliens? Now that was green and hot!
You know, if the greenpeace girls here decided to wear bikinis when they try to get people’s money in front of the local supermarket, they would probably have a lot more success from the male demographic!
The girl in the main video went on and on about shoes. She wanted us (men) to save money so we could buy her shoes. Well, sweety, all those shoes require resources and energy to make.
Why aren’t these goof-offs promoting minimalism? They always find a way to return to materialism, like, “Look for the Energy Star!” or, “Buy this one, it has the ‘green’ sticker of approval on it!” It has become a money-making extravaganza. It’s all a bunch of nonsense. Truly, if we wanted to “go green” we’d quit our jobs, take off our clothes and return to the jungle. If that cute brunette is willing – then so am I!
Mark, I also clicked “No” on their poll and was not reflected in the percentage. We should all go vote “no” and demonstrate how skewed this thing is.
Young men have always volunteered for left-wing causes they care nothing about if they think they can score with hot girls!
Okay, that’s about the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.
If you need an arrogant, insulting woman to tell you that you can save money by not running the dishwasher and washing machine until they’re full, then you’ve got serious problems.
These people … they have no clue… I live in Vancouver and “Green” Girls are everywhere and without any sort of malice I can say they are “difficult” at best.
Hey no matter how hot a girl is if they are nagging and criticizing you about your car, your travel, your water use, your BBQ and want you to pay more for stuff becuase it is green… they get REAL UGLY REAL DAMN QUICK.
So the entire concept will never work because nothing is uglier than an Angry Green Girl. IMHO as always.
The message being sent is that if girls think that the planet is getting warmer, there will be more girls in bikinis.
@roger Sowell (00:38:07) :
I have always wanted to attend one of those big green rallies/demonstrations with a big bin to collect people’s phones, MP3 players, DVD players, TV’s, etc., etc.
I could print a big banner on the bin that says “Just do Without.” Let’s see how many of these passionate people are willing to walk the walk and how many are just doing what’s popular.
OK. I went there to vote no in the poll with the same results as posted above. That’s a least 3 known ‘no’ votes and yet the results show 100% ‘yes’, 0% ‘no’.
If anything is getting hot, it’s the ‘stacked green poll results’ scandal that is beginning to boil on the back burner.
Where are all those hard-hitting MSM investigative reporters when you need them, hmmm????
I rather enjoyed UK Sceptic’s comment.
Voted “no” and got same response. 100% yes, 0% no.
What a sorry website they have there. I wonder how much the traffic has increased since being posted here?
It’s not about green girls, so much as it’s about greenbacks…
Kaboom (02:01:56) :
Boudo (01:13):
That was just deliciously obscene on so many levels.
Well done!
Just be glad she cancelled her proposed vist to Lapland . . . !
Voted no. Still 100% yes.
Maybe you need to be registered for your vote to count?
I take this as a good sign. Really.
Once the marketing reaches this level, it’s a good sign that only the really really gullible are going for it. Think about it. This is an appeal to the basest of emotion and understanding.
My question is ‘what are they selling’? They’re clearly not interested in scientific debate or understanding. Are they recruiting for poll numbers and votes? My opinion is that somebody is trying to make a buck here.
Once it becomes commonly accepted that the AGW movement is nothing more than a power grab and marketing ploy, the movement is dead. I think we’re getting close to that point. The smart money’s going the other way. Again; that’s just my opinion, I ‘ve been wrong before.
