Super Bowl “Green Police” Ad: Truth
The best Super Bowl advertisment yesterday was a “futuristic-reality” piece produced by Audi.
This is truth inside of advertising; the “Green Police” is exactly where California is headed.The environmental “Green Police” riding around on Segues trumping local law enforcement officials drinking from styrofoam cups while working their beat. The government’s “Green Police” invading of hot tubs, kitchen sinks and grocery store checkouts.
California’s “Cap and Trade” law called AB32 is the exact representation of this commercial for the private sector. Rather than incentives, government will use fines, fees and a process of a profit elimination to get their standards implemented.
What follows AB32 is a private (residential) protocol comparable to California’s restrictions on ‘wood burning fireplaces’ and toilet bowls.
This was actually more of an “issue ad” than Focus On The Family’s Tim Tebow spot. The reality is government’s impact on products, performance and price.
How much do you believe an Audi (TI) costs? Can the average citizen afford such a vehicle?
Why is government’s “Green Police” agenda not seen as an elitest measure full of leverage.
Here is my winner for Super Bowl commercial of the decade:
This is why I already drive a diesel. I tend to make decisions based on fiscal matters. Diesel is cheaper per mile to drive. As for light bulbs, the CFLs are lower price per lumen to operate. As for batteries, they still go in the trash…until they start charging a deposit per battery…
Correction, Adam. disel may be cheaper for now, but it wasn’t a year ago, remember? It was almost twice the cost of regular gasoline. CFL’s are inherently dangerous, do some research and find out why. The light is bad for your eyes, and gives many people headaches. Try asking your local e-waste disposoal unit if they will take your bulbs. I asked at the Roseville utility expolration center, mecca for all things green. I had three in a bag, and they looked at me horrified, and told me they couldn’t possibly take them because they were considered hazardous material, and that in case they broke on the floor, the area would have to be evacuated, and the haz-mat team called in! they told me to call the Waste facility outside of Roseville, and a special truck would come and get them. Sorry, but this just more wrong-headed, lack of common sense, leftist thinking that I want no part of!
