Al Gore is a Bore. Gonna Need a Lot of Keeley Hazell.
Somebody asked me the other day why I haven't posted about the new global warming movie, An Inconvenient Truth, yet. Being a slick Except for one thing: Al Gore.
My problem with Al isn't that he's a pinko commie liberal (I link to his site), or that his critics seem to think that he's a hypocrite for dumping tons of CO2 into the atmosphere by jetting around the world (reality: he carbon trades to off-set the impact of his trips). My problem with him is that he's boring. He even looks like he's bored with himself in this picture. And let's not forget, this is the guy The Simpsons' (and Spinal Tap's) Harry Shearer based the tedious Reverend Lovejoy on:
Lovejoy = Gore
When I watched the Inconvenient Truth trailer, it looked like somebody was trying to paint Al Gore as some sort of action hero. It's a laughable idea, and one I'm almost entirely sure his critics will seize upon to try to deflate the film. And even though it's almost six years after Bush narrowly claimed victory in the 2000 election, the nation is as politically divided as ever. So I'm not so sure it's wise to put a polarizing figure like Gore as the centerpiece of your marketing campaign.
Anyway, sorry to be so long-winded today. I realize most of you aren't used to that much for a single post. To make up for it, please enjoy the nsfw gallery of the amazingly delicious Keeley Hazell. And yes, that's a picture of eleven Keeleys. They've cloned her!
Genius.
