Critical thinking has never been a hippie strong suit, but surely even they should’ve been able to see the mixed messages here! Remember, folks: spouting sanctimonious claptrap and making empty gestures won’t make the world a better place…just a more obnoxious one.

  • No surprise here. Between Adbusters' sanctimonious anti-capitalist commercials and Greenpeace with their gospel half-truths, it's enough to make you want to give up on the future of the human race and join the pig in shit oil and tobacco company's in living for today.
