Sony Pulls Support for Video of Exploding Children

[aaron88_7]

That video is just plain sick and twisted! Should Tom's Hardware even be linking to that video? How could anybody be entertained by such disgusting and tasteless violence? Sometimes humanity certainly disappointed me!

I seem to have taken the message of the advertisements the exact opposite way of those whom are offended by it. I took it those in the power positions did not really represent people but rather the effects that global climate change will bring which can lead to unnecessary death as it can be avoided. The people stared the problem in the face and some chosen to ignore it anyways causing devastating effects.

I wasn't offended at all by it. If we do not take action against global climate changes that are man made we will no doubt eventually see human causalities which will include men, women, and children of all walks of life.

I suppose a better method to getting this point across more clearly would have had random people blow up not just those who said they wouldn't change their ways. This would also represent a much more realistic view on the consequences. Of course I am sure many would just be offended simply by the blowing up of kids and people however those who are are unable to begin to see the message and have a hard time deciphering the meaning of art. Those people should not be catered to.

Will overconsumption of natures resourses lead to death?
By you not conserving energy and other unnessesary consumptiom..
Anyone against conserving resourses will that lead to more death!?

I love the Irony in this commersial it's so black.

It's not suitable for children, but children should know how to conserve resourses from their parents..!

Let's revisit this topic after this winter. If climate change isn't real than this will be a normal winter, right? Just like this past summer was normal?

Right?

(I'm scared)

HERETIC! KILL THE UN-BELIEVERS! BURN KILL PERSECUTE!

- with apologies to Monty Python's The Life of Brian.

Good on Sony for taking a stance. I do what I can to reduce my ecological footprint because I UNDERSTAND the science - probably better than they do! I don't need a bunch of eco-fascists and their not-so-subtle death threats against anyone who doesn't subscribe verbatim to their dogma. Managing our impact on the environment over the long-term is both necessary and sensible, not just in terms of climate change but also conserving biodiversity and hundreds of other environmental issues that have been swept under the carpet over the last decade where the debate has been skewed to ignore anything that isn't about CO2. Using the best scientific evidence available to make sensible long-term plans is good. Project 2010 is a short-term gimmick and this video males me want nothing to do this these crazy fundamentalist terrorists.

Probably should not have included children in it but otherwise that was THE MOST EPIC AND RADICAL ECO VIDEO EVER!!!!

They want their message heard and attention spans are short. Sadly, but accurately, they decided this was a way to hold people's attention. A sickly, weakly conceived meme. You could argue this is black comedy, but being quite a fan of actual black comedy myself (the movie Brazil, anyone?) - I would say labeling this video as such merely gives the genre a bad name. In other words it's not funny, black humor or not, and I don't think I'm projecting too much onto the video to suggest an overt hostility channeled by its creators. But, to come full circle, they did achieve their goals:

1. Hold my interest for x amount of time
2. Get me to hear their message
3. Get me to talk about it
4. Remind me of what 10/10 is being touted as this year

So good for them , I guess

[phoenix2150]

I think we can all see the real way to save the planet is simply to kill more humans, easy as that... now where to start......

For those that still believe the "man made" climate hoax.... Do some research:

Instead of genocide, we could just start reforesting deforested areas, and planting more trees in general...they are great carbon sinks!!!

This kind of humor would probably do well in Great Britain.

[cookoy]

only a sicko-psycho mind can conceive of such a concept for a good-cause movie. he got his training from Al Queda under Bin Laden's tutelage?
