UK Greens Declare Vista Bad For Environment
schwaang writes "The UK Green Party says that Vista's DRM requirements will force many unnecessary hardware upgrades. Quoting: 'There will be thousands of tonnes of dumped monitors, video cards, and whole computers that are perfectly capable of running Vista — except for the fact they lack the paranoid lock down mechanisms Vista forces you to use. That's an offensive cost to the environment. Future archaeologists will be able to identify a "Vista Upgrade Layer" when they go through our landfill sites.'"
Finally, a good reason to buy Vista: to irritate the kind of self-important environmental do-gooders who are apoplectic that the rest of us might be having a good time.
In other news, Green Party declares that anything they don't like to be "Bad for the Enviornment".
"Brocolli, definitly should be banned. It is bad for the enviornment!" said a spokesman.
When some people questioned the statement, the Green Party spokesman responded: "Scientists have proved Global Warming is a fact! If we don't do something now, climate change will have disasterous effects! Only a right-wing zealot, ignorant of enviornmental science, would suggest we shouldn't ban brocolli when the costs of inaction are so high!"
With bullshit like "Visa is bad for the enviornment", people wonder why enviornmentalism isn't taken more seriously! The Green movement is dead. It has been taken over by a bunch of reactionary leftists, and no longer has anything to do with protecting the enviornment.
