So, This is the Tale of the Castaways …
“Hey, little buddy . . .”
Greenpeace people are smart.
As a publicity stunt, they are building a replica of Noah’s Ark on Mount Ararat - the spot where, if you believe that Noah built an ark, the Ark is supposed to have landed after the Great Flood.
According to press reports:
Turkish and German volunteer carpenters are making the wooden ship on the mountain in eastern Turkey, bordering Iran. The ark will be revealed in a ceremony on May 31, a day after Greenpeace activists climb the mountain and call on world leaders to take action to tackle climate change, Greenpeace said.
When you work for a non-profit organization, you have to make your contributions count and Greenpeace is doing just that. They get an ark built for free, they get oodles of free publicity and they will be able to use the ark to help train future generations of Greenpeace activists in proper boat boarding and sabotage procedures.
Now that’s getting value for your 501(c)(4) dollar.
Seats on the ark should command a premium price if the predictions of Greenpeace activist Hilal Atici are to be believed, “Climate change is real,
it’s happening now and unless world leaders take urgent, decisive and far-reaching action, the next decades will see human miseryon a scale not experienced in modern times.”
Editor’s note:
Anytime someone says “Climate change is real” we insert a picture of Method Man and reference his rap lyric, ” …real like Rahway Lifers.”
Anytime someone makes a reference to the world coming to an end we insert a picture of Bill Murray and recall his lines from from Ghostbusters: “This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions … human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.”
This is the blog version of doing shots during the Academy Awards every time the orchestra cuts someone off. Feel free to do shots or chug a Deschutes Black Butte Porter every time you see the quote “Climate change is real” or hear a prediction about unimaginable global warming consequences. -MJ
