    Director of posh London comedies Richard Curtis has made a video designed to panic the public into sitting in the dark lest the world melt/burn. The tone of the film is quite light and the blood splatter closer to Monty Python than Scanners.

    WARNING exploding heads

    Its been pulled as apparently its freaking people out, sadly it never got shown on TV, the shock value of it turning up during Corrie instead of an ad break would have been worth seeing! :p

    was this supposed to instill some motivation in me besides the impulse to stop watching that video?

    Looks to me like it was always their plan to release and then pull it, knowing that once it out it would get circulated and talked about

    I saw some comments on an American forum along the lines of "see, this is what eco-Nazis want, deny global warming and they'll kill you". They really don't get British humo(u)r, do they? No pressure ... bang. :pac:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I think the vid is a rare insight into the minds of the eco-freaks and what they would do to "un-believers" if they could get away with it.

    Governments in most countries are actually quite happy the glaciers in arctic are melting because it means they can start drilling for oil and gas lying beneath the ocean bed.

    The carbon tax initiative is just another way for the government to justify stealing your money.
