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.
James Delingpole has some commentary.
Amusing commentaries on this at Delingpole’s blog. The British sense of humour involves a lot more personal banter and punning than is usual in North America. There are no sacred cows, and few take ‘political correctness’ as anything other than a pomposity to be deflated. Be warned, but enjoy.

Here’s the video on break.com:

Delingpole’s site gives email addresses for the commercial sponsors of 10:10, Sony and 02. It can’t hurt to drop them a line.
Love the comments on YouTube. Definite FAIL for 10:10 and the eco-idiots who worked on it.
It is like case of Stockholm syndrome in reverse. Does the ideological 10:10 environmentalist group consist of voluntary captives listening to their own PR inside an echo chamber where no incorrect ideas can penetrate (or you get “blown” up)? So, are they are out of touch with the mores of the actual world of normal modern civilization? If so, then we can see why they showed self-defeating judgment in producing / showing the No Pressure video.
They look totally clueless outside their own groupthink.
A little humor: What is next? It would be humorous if they claim an illegal hack into their computer system obtained the video illegally . . . imagine if they say it is private info and is just work in progress . . . . . ha ha . . . nothing to see here . . . . move on. Hey, they might say it was just a joke . . . . all you critical skeptic and critical AGWsupportes have no humor? Right?
Come on 10:10 leadership, looking for some really good eco-spin ASAP. I gotta go get some popcorn and some scotch before your upcoming eco-spinning fantasia begins. Give me 10 miuntes.

don’t worry, all 501 comments on original youtube video are still available here for entertainment..

No doubt our “Friends” in the mid-east and elsewhere have copies by now, and are using it as a training film.
It scares the Hell out of me that no one during the long production of this piece could see the catastrophe in the making that it was. Lucy Skywalker names it: ‘Florid Psychosis’.
===============
I hope this makes people wake up to how sick, vile and evil the AGW movement has become. I saw on the Guardian newspaper website that many commentators thought this was just fine, even very funny. When people can laugh at massacring people who have a different opinion or lifestyle then it is a short step to have them commit the atrocities themselves. And people wonder how man can be so evil as to commit wholesale genocide. Just look at the evil, and the delicious pleasure this 10:10 organization has in funding and promoting this.
They’ve lost the argument. This is what they are reduced to. Base evil.
Here it is 🙂 Enjoy!
What really troubles me is the veiled threat of violence, Taliban style.
Couple with the religious fervor, it’s downright scary.
What can we expect Hansen to do next?

A lot of indignation over a cheap B horror flick. Overreacting looks radical too.
Nobody should think they own the moral high road.
I’m a little perturbed that people have seized on it to score moral points. That also looks bad. It’s just a poor-taste flick with dark humour that stepped out of bounds, and nothing more. No bloody murder was actually committed here.
I suppose one could read into it that they’re calling for bloody murder…jihad! Seems like a stretch to me.
Thank Gore for the Interwebby!!
The 1010 website is not responding for me. Either it’s overloaded, removed, or currently hit by some sort of cyberattack.
Dellingpole has it now at:

Very unfunny, if that was what was intended.
wobble says: “How did they not realize that this video would backfire?”
Fairly simple. THEY know what is right. THEY know what is best for people. The ends justify the means. THEY have no shame.
However, people are not as stupid as THEY think people are.
It would be interesting if the “carbon footprint” of all contributors to this travesty would be divulged. If the “carbon footprint” of these participants is greater than that of the average inhabitant of the planet earth, THEY should explain why THEY haven’t blown themselves up
So… They demonstrate free human beings being liquified because of their opinion, and this isn’t vile?
It seems we’re truly seeing a new facism take over the world. I have no other explanation for humans who cannot see that video for what it is, blatant bigoted propaganda.
It’s unbelievably sick. It also smacks of the coercion I believe we’ll be subjected to by a ‘world government’.
After more years than many people I have spent trying to do the right thing by not being wasteful and polluting, I now feel like going out and really indulging. Time to increase the plant food in our atmosphere, so that we don’t all starve!
Actually, I really felt the shades of communism and nazism were abroad in that utterly sickening piece.
Is nobody going to challenge this statement

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”

More fear mongering and so misleading. I understand that it is quite possible that climate change has killed billions of people starting with the Toba event 75,000 years ago that nearly bought mankind to extinction. Were they driving SUVs? No, but climate always changes, always has and had dramatic effects.
Nor only are these kind of statements stupid, they are very dangerous.
It should stay here for a while.. (video here)

“Actually, I have to say something stronger,
this film is ****ing ridiculous.
I am a local Greenpeace coordinator, and a Board member of Friends of the Earth and I just can’t believe that you have produced a film that is so ****ing stupid.
There, I’ve sworn on the Guardian.
Jesus, where is your common sense. We’re trying to win hearts and minds.
This is just ludicrous.”
Presumably this is John….. And I salute him!!!!!

The guardian have taken the story down from their website. I hope someone got a screen cap.
I’m not sure these 10:10 people are simply winging it. In my opinion, they knew exactly what they were doing when they created such an outrageous yet slickly professional video. They must have know that the reaction would be swift, and that the video need only be hosted on their site for 24 hours before it would go viral. Now it’s gone from their own site, but it’s on YouTube and many similar video hosting services, with the usual “you won’t believe this” headlines and comments.
Their message is out, and people are talking about it. And I’m sure they are basking in the glow of “any publicity is good publicity” right about now.
“…incites and condones violence against skeptics”
“…1984esque totalitarianism”
“…mid-east and elsewhere have copies by now, and are using it as a training film.”
Hello!
LOL! Have any of you ever watched the games your kids play on the PC? Are you aware of the movies they watch. You’all from the Victorian Age or what?
Wake the hell up! This little 10:10 thingee here is rated PG compare to the crap out there kids play with daily.
