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.
Trey (10:03:25) :
“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?”
See! I’m tellin’ ya, this story has got legs!
Just wait until these girls link up with the “pee in the shower” campaign they’re running in Brazil. Now *that* will be an interesting video.
One the things we’ll miss in the next “super maunder”
That’s La Nina after taking a short shower! She’ll be back again.
Ken, your comment about “peeing in the shower” would almost be obscene if it weren’t true. I remember a video recently with some celebrity dude saying he would flush “only on a #2, never for a #1.” It’s all nuts, I tell ya!
The bikini-carwash-for-hybrids ploy reminds me of an episode of “Futurama”: Fry joins the army to get a 5% discount on a 40-cent pack of gum. 🙂
The symbolism from that site is interesting.
What is mothered is alive. Earth is our mother. Green is the color of earth. Environmentalism uses green as the color of their agenda. Feminism came about the same time as environmentalism. Warming is greening the earth and C02 is helping. The earth is covered by vegetation. Environmentalists are concerned with superficial things beyond their control. Superficiality seeks to exploit insecurities. That website seeks to gain by exploitation of feminitiy for their own agenda.
Yikes! What is our agenda? (Take the paragraph above with a grain of salt. I’m just tossing around thoughts for someone else to swirl around in their mind.)
The irony…
…you forget about the cash that you’re making from the ads of this blog.

John Galt,
I have a few opportunities, as for example at an upcoming conference of environmental lawyers. I ask them how they arrived, and they all say by plane or by car. I ask them why they did not walk or ride a bicycle to show leadership in eliminating evil hydrocarbons from their lives. This year I’m taking a digital voice recorder to record their fiery outbursts in response.
I also ask them at what point do jobs and the economy count for more than their precious environmental laws. This year will be really great for watching their responses. Unemployment at record highs, and environmental regulations blocking business expansion and growth.
California has gone even further off the deep end when a judge ruled last year that air pollution permits for new projects must be withheld because the local air district (AQMD) failed to properly write an environmental assessment document. As a result of that ruling, no new facilities can be built, nor expansion built, not even public works that are needed for public safety. The greenies are showing us all just how grand the world will be with them in charge.
This is too much fun.
Well, I found it educational. And here I was reading about ENSO’s and PDO’s, and the answer was there all the time.
But I don’t think such challenges can be left unanswered. Anthony should produce his own, competing video, which we can hope RealClimate will post as a trojan (no pun intended!) horse to seduce AGW believers over to WUWT.
RE: Steven Kopits
Fight fire with fire? Interesting….sounds seductive. But. Our values at WUWT are more old school. We’re unfazed. Unrattled by emotional hysteria. Calm in a sea of screams we are. And better we are for it. May our calm nature spread to the screamers when they grow tired of screaming.
Lying hussy ! I bet she runs harder than that when her telephone rings; not a drop of sweat (excuse me; perspiration) anywhere on her body.
And doesn’t she realize there is a water shortage; so why is she out running, and thereby increasing the CO2 content of the atmosphere, as well as depleting precious water supplies.
She’s almost as annoying as that rotten little kid at the day care center; whose mother has just picked him up after her bridge afternoon; who keeps on screaming; “the future is green energy”.
NO it isn’t; that’s where we started; competing with the monkeys for the tastiest figs; until we got smart, and let the monkeys gather the renewable free clean green energy (figs); then we killed their little A**** and ate them; much more sensible !
Well, I just discovered that that porno flick is even worse if you actually watch it, so why didn’t she just walk (no run) down to the river, and wash her hot sweaty clothes; and her dirty mind, in the river. I’m sure her sweat is bio-degradable; her message is pretty degrading anyway, so she could be feeding little water gremlins from her detritus.
Did I detect that her “plate” was actually made from fossil fuels; she could have used the paper from an abandoned wasps nest, and stuck it all together with gum from a Eucalyptus tree (gum tree to you mate).
Only a trollop would strip for a camera like that; even with nothing showing; it’s the thought that counts.
I’m afraid this message went in and out of a second storey window far above my head.
George
That my wife won’t let her come over any more. 😉
Doesn’t sex sometimes lead to little people who grow up to have more little people, who … in a few generations amount to more consumption on the earth’s natural resources? The greenies should use old ugly (snip) in their spots to repress this reproductive urge!
“I also like to think of myself as a great listener — and respect other people’s points of view, even if they’re different from my own.” – Angry Green Girl
“Of course, none of the above is true.” – Angry Green Girl a paragraph later.
At least she is honest when she is not being dishonest.
Well they’re not appealing to minds at all. I think its tacky to appeal to people’s ethics through a not very well disguised sexual appeal.
The context is ridiculous as AGG appears to live in the lap of luxury while exhorting the rest of us to live in poverty.
