From the Guardian, where they’ll print anything as long as its green…
The eco-sex activists who want to save the world
F*** for Forest use porn to spread their green message. In a new documentary, they are taken to the Amazon to meet a threatened Peruvian tribe. But how can they rescue the planet when they can barely look after each other?
‘Blood and sperm. The perfect mix,’ says a tattooed hippy…Life-giving fluids we are all so afraid of. We’re so afraid of ourselves! It’s all organic.’ — ‘A new documentary, ‘F*ck for Forest’, detailing the activities of the group of the same name. They enjoy confronting society with sex, nudity and bodily fluids, but what F*** for Forest (FFF) really want to do is save the world’.
…
Few people would imagine any overlap exists between pornography and environmentalism, but FFF smash the two concepts together right there in their brutally blunt name. It’s a concise signifier of what they do and how little they care about what you think of it. The live displays are a sideline; funds are primarily raised via their website, which has images and videos of its core staff members and whatever volunteers they pick up on the street in myriad sexual permutations, from naked people up trees to chaotic orgies. Subscribers pay about £10 a month, and the proceeds go towards rainforest conservation projects in South America.
More here, if you can stomach it

Some might say “C’est la vie“, personally I think they deserve the freedom to be able to go f*** themselves. 😉

Yes, David Attenborough! I adore him when I have insomnia. His narrations are so soothing and yet, because he’s such a twit, I don’t mind falling asleep and missing what he said.
I didn’t click on the button. Once exposed to a dis-ennobling experience, we can never again be sure of our taste or judgement. It’s been over 40 years since my peek at the Hustler cartoon entitled “Sh*t Eating Grin” and I’m not sure if I’m over it yet! Anthony, thanks but no thanks.
I think my comment got whacked because of the barely disguised “S” word. Doesn’t matter.
We can’t have this.
Their UN bosses want the population reducing.
From their first burst unto the scene (literally speaking) at a 2004 Norwegian rock festival, taking center stage as some kind of interlude act during the concert of a Norwegian media favorite and provocateur rocker they have an embarrassment to us more staid Norwegians. They have taken their selfstyled Performance Act to a number of more local venues over the years, always getting the attention they crave but for some reason (sarc is on..) not so much to the cause they are promoting.
Lessons learned:
1) Not all means will work efficiently for the cause. Getting a lot of attention is only the first step, it need to transfer to the cause and not stick to your attentiongrabbing act.
2) This is how you get Guardian coverage, (into wikipedia for that matter).
Before any skeptic, lukewarmer, coolhead or denier start getting ideas please note. This will get you in the Guardian but you will not get welvilling, extensive coverage of your cause or intentions.

What do you want? These are hippies.
Pleasure for the planet?
I think the planet doesn’t give a f***.
Moral relativism frees the mind to go wherever we want it to go comrades.

“I don’t think a post that says ‘look at how dumb the greenies are’ is helpful or honest. It’s cherry-picking and shows a bias that I wish I didn’t see here.”
Let’s TALK a little about green honesty, Anton.
Anton, when has a Green argued with logic or data he didn’t make up first? I honestly don’t remember. When has a German Green during the post Fukushima protests used a word like milliSievert, you know, a physical unit? I honestly don’t remember. I do remember that Greenpeace once used a physical unit, metric tons – they said the Brent Spar contained 2,000 tons of oil residues when Shell wanted to sink it. But it was a lie, it was only 20 tons; Greenpeace just invented two zeros.
Do you think I’m cherrypicking? Where do leaders of the German Green party come from politically? Kretschmann? was a communist before; Fischer, the same, Trittin, the same – hmm, am I cherrypicking? They’re all communists and make up facts as needed. Once they gain political power, they don’t stop lying – Fischer obediently spouted any lie the NATO PsyOps department wanted him to spout during the war against the Serbs.
Or do we want to talk about Fischer’s past as leader of the Frankfurt autonome’s Putztruppe where he was responsible for an attack that left a young policeman crippled, and later, when confronted with accusations in the Bundestag, he said “Oh I just threw some stones in the air”.
It’s worse than we thought

Anthony – 2nd paragraph, last line, you neglected to replace some letters after the F with ***
REPLY: Fixed thanks -A
Yes, we wouldn’t want anyone to be corrupted or mortally offended by actually seeing the all-powerful mystery word in print. F*** is OK though. [/sarc]
Sigh.

“Given that there is more free porn on the internet than a single human being can watch in their entire lifetime (several times over) you kinda gotta hand it to these guys. They have figured out how to make porn, get paid for it, and make their customers feel good about themselves for paying for it.”
No they haven’t – they WANT people to pay them for it, but since when do anarchist-socialist minded people actually DO pay for anything? Their entire philosophy revolves around getting freebies. They’re targetting the wrong group.

I don’t know if its just you; hopefully such things are widely known and the implications discussed in Germany.
Here in Australia, there is one member (of the lower house) who is an officially branded Green. He is known, and it has been mentioned rather than reported by the media, to have produced a paper outlining how some (unknown to me) Marxist group should use the Greens as an avenue to power. Which is exactly what he has done.
Although the “conservative” press occasionally refers to communists etc as being a part of the Greens, this is always as a sort of general reference without real examination.
Somehow it is simply “not polite” to actually look at what people have said and done, and what they really are.
If the people concerned say “oh that was then”, it is left at that. This applies to the Prime Minister herself who long after any excitement around student days, into her 30’s, was a major organizer behind a Socialist group. But that doesn’t matter because she says it doesn’t.
Regardless of what it was, it matters what people thought or did when they were 20, 25 or 30. To pretend otherwise is walking blindly into servitude in this case.
The Greenies are all for “sustainable development”, pity this is newspeak for a world population of 500 million. Oh dear, they want the world to be 93% human-free. You would think they would be discouraging sex(except gay sex that is.)
The best way to help the rainforest is leave it alone after harvesting the valuable trees. It grows back, on its own, without help.
mods: another comment lost.
A response to fretslider 2.5 hrs ago. Don’t know what’s causing it, some go through automatically some not. Doesn’t seem to be length. Thanks in anticipation.
We call it dogging over here, best avoided. The Amazon has enough hazards as it is, the infamous Candiru fish for one…
Veni Veni Veni Vici
Yes, it is ridiculous. But, hey, live and let live.
“Failure to put climate on G8 agenda will cast a shadow on ‘greenest government'”
“According to Faith Birol, chief economist at the International Energy Agency, the world has just four years to implement the changes necessary to avoid a temperature increase above 2C. If we wait any longer, we will lock ourselves into high-carbon infrastructure that takes us above this threshold. Two degrees constitutes a level of warming referred to as a “dangerous” by scientists. All major countries agreed in Copenhagen that temperature rises should be limited to below this level”

Now we have 4 years to save the planet…..
I posted 2 replies and they never appeared. Is John Cook moderating today?!!!
Anthony! You need to warn me when you are going to blog about porn. My anti hack software banned everyone whose referrer contained the word porn!!
(I need a white list that skips the referrer check for known blogs. You and the Bishop periodically use words Zaphod considers highly correlated with porn referrer spam!! Actually, I should probably just get rid of the referrer spam section. That’s never hacking. Just referrers spam.)
For guys wondering about lost posts, including the estimable jc, this is a new system and there will be some glitches. I have had no problems except Anthony spanking me again.
mods: no appearance of lost comment notified at 3.46am.
I did wonder if the new system means that because mods don’t now need to look at posts that appear automatically like my previous note, they may never be aware of such things. Interesting conundrum! But if I use a swear word to make sure it doesn’t post automatically, is this then dumped sight unseen, achieving nothing? What else can be done?!
mods: I will try something that may be (I don’t know) borderline to see if can thread the needle between being auto posted and being dumped. Just so you know what I’m taking about, refer to thread. Sh..t. What will The Algorithmic make of that?
mods: I’ve failed. The Algorithmic has some tolerance. Again, if this penetrates, refer to thread.
