Earth 2.0 = Earth + Plastic (I think it was George Carlin who said we're stupid for worrying about it and Earth will figure out a way to integrate plastic into itself long after our insignificant human selves are all gone) #news
@homoviper: I, for one, would like a clean planet that's still a home for us. However, you're right. Bacteria have already been found that use plastic as a food source. #news
@RollsRoyceRevenge: I understand, but he has a point: the planet will heal itself eventually. Yeah the fact that all life on this planet will likely cease before that happens is shitty, but we made it that way, didn't we? #news
@homoviper: Well if 'all life' will ceases before that happens earth would be a barren rock and nothing could heal. I think just human life will cease before that happens. And yeah we (and by we I mean America) led the downward spiral - for everyone! [www.carbonfootprint.com]
from the site ( UK spelling) :
"The average carbon footprint for people in United States is 20.40 tonnes, The average for the industrial nations is about 11 tonnes, The average worldwide carbon footprint is about 4 tonnes, The worldwide target to combat climate change is 2 tonnes." #news
The oceans also used to be teeming with life. So we're over fishing to the point where there are huge swaths where you can't find any life AND dumping our garbage in the ocean, making it harder for the life forms left to thrive and reproduce. The oceans currently produce something like 25% of the food humans eat. When that source is depleted, while more and more humans live on the planet, then what? We've got to have a serious conversation about how much human life this planet can support. We're probably closer to the tipping point than we think. #news
True facts, I'm an oceanography graduate student who has been to the North Pacific Gyre on research cruises three times in the last three years. We always get tons of plastic in our net tows. I've also attended dissections on open ocean sea birds, who spend very little time near shore, whose stomachs are packed full of tiny pellets of plastic.
@mainesqueeze: The albatross chicks, dutifully fed by their parents, die of bellies filled with plastic, brought to them across the open ocean by devoted parents foraging and mistakenly grabbing bright colored bits of poison
PS: Just what the world needs, a fucking DJ AM shoe line. Because nobody knows shoes like a gastric-bypassed drug addict. Put it on the shelf next to Paris Hilton's 52-Piece Wrench Set and the Dr. Phil Catamaran.
@NigelAstydameia: To be fair, I found myself standing next to him during an LCD Soundsystem set at Lollapalooza a few years ago, and he was wearing really, really awesome shoes. I told him that they were awesome, and he looked at me snottily.
But to Chris, a slap in the face is no big deal, so maybe he meant it like "Yeah, that show was a slap in the face ('got my attention.') I'll have to beat the fucking crap out of Oprah ('talk to her about it') next time I see that fat bitch ('weight challenged TV host')."
Note to Chris Brown: "Slap in face" -- not the best phrase, is it?
Was it more like a headlock? Or maybe a punch in the face? Oh, wait. You only dish those out, so you don't really know what they're like.
@Novaload Is Just Plain Novaload Again: Chris Brown should be looking over his shoulder... I mean, shit, has anyone seen or heard from Stedman in like 9 years...? He's probably buried out back of the Harpo Studios between a couple of old cocker spaniels...
Oprah annoys me. Yes, I said it. She's grating and irritating and her power reign over (the world) is almost silly. She has a talk show. and. that. is. all. So I could care less that he made a comment about her. I'm more inclined to think that Chris Brown shouldn't be talking about how upset he was after hearing the reaction, no matter the source, to his domestic violence issues.
Own your problems. Get help. Grow up. And be quiet, stupid boy.
Chris Brown, the kid is done. Look at the list of enemies Oprah has laid to rest, James Frey, the Texas cattle industry and Hilary Clinton. Each one is bigger than the next. The Oprah will probably send Gayle King to finish him after the long weekend.
Taye Diggs's and Idina Menzel's son is named Walker, not Walter. And damn, if that kid can't sing or act, it might be a bigger embarrassment than it might've been if Shiloh were born unattractive.
@Atilla the Bun: I suspect the pastel sweater and bow tie combo was supposed to make him look young and harmless, like a kindergartener posing for school pictures. (Still no word on when and why men in the R&B and hip-hop world decided Palm Beach hausfrau earrings were a necessary badass accessory.)
I'm bored with Chris Brown, and I couldn't care less about his hurt feelings. I know there are plenty of other talented people who can, (and will) replace him, who don't choose to knock around women. He had it all and he threw it away. It's an old story. Yawn.

I love Carlin, but his take on certain subjects, including anorexia ("Rich cunt don't wanna eat? Fuck her!") was not particularly useful.

Message to his idiot publicist: There's a reason most male defendants at criminal trials and mourners at funerals are dressed in dark suits and ties.
