Greenpeace Complains Game Consoles Aren't Green Enough
jasoncart writes "None of the major games consoles are 'green enough', says environmental group Greenpeace in a report released today. Zeina Al-Hajj, Greenpeace's International Toxic Campaign co-ordinator, said: "We were shocked with Nintendo; it was our biggest surprise." The company is described by the group as the least 'green' tech firm."
every 1-2 years they put out a console that explodes from some of its parts from some brands. they need to make consoles explosion free before making them green.

The Next Gen Wiis will be woven from hemp, just to please Greenpeace.

I would hate having to go around telling people I have a green Wii. Might get some funny looks.
That's not true, I painted my Wii green so I could get in on this whole "green" trend. I found just the right paint, too. It's whale-oil based paint with some dolphin fin ground in for strength. I found this great paintbrush made with spotted owl feathers to apply the paint, and as a bonus I made a little cozy for my wiimote from giant panda fur.
I'm going to send some pictures of my new setup to Greenpeace, I hope they'll feature them on their website.
i'd worry about phtalates after i was sure my balls wouldnt get chopped off in a console battery explosion.
one has to know his priorities.

Yeah, but the Wii is built using baby seal skin.

Sure! Although, if you smoke it you won't need a console to travel to a virtual world.
Every time I start to have faith in humanity, I ruin it by driving to work between 7 and 8 am.
That's jive! Look, in this new "research", Greenpeace have produced actual photographs of professional scienticians doing complicated scientician stuff. You're not going to tell me that someone wearing white cotton gloves doesn't know what they're talking about, surely?
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.

Speaking of the seventies, in the 1870s someone actually predicted the huge environmental problems that would be posed by the futuristic society of the 1970s - the continent, he predicted, would be hip deep in horse shit.
Was he making an environmental commentary or political one?

the gay rights people on your ass.
No thank you! Do not want! I mean...not that there's anything wrong with that...it's just not my thing.
Components of the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation3 also contained high levels of phthalates, one of which - DEHP - is known to interfere with sexual development in mammals: including humans and, especially, males.
Hmmm...that explains the plethora of Viagra spam to geeks. The more you game, the harder it is to satisfy a woman thus the less chance of actually keeping a girlfriend. Not having a girlfriend and not getting any directly contributes to gaming more. A vicious circle!

None of the major environmental activist groups are 'fun enough', says gaming console manufacturers in a report released today. Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo Director of Technology, said: "We were shocked with Greenpeace; it was our biggest surprise." The group is described by the companies as the least 'fun' green firm.
Additionally, when asked for comment on the above story Miyamoto replied, "Yes, and?"
Wouldn't that make them the most green? Of course, being white, they're also the most red and blue.

Yes.

Why would you want to smoke hemp, thats like smoking wool or something.
IranAir Flight 655 never forget!
Entirely consistent with their environmentalist goals. That's part of their strategy to stop global warming.
And that fine line is awesome! Piracy is awesome and terrorism is not.
So true, but as you know: when you put two things together, especially when one thing on its own isn't that great, but the other thing is--that combination is could be even more awesome than either of the two, on their own.
It's like beans and rice, raw potatoes and hot oil, chocolate and chili, Sonny and Cher, etc.
I bet that a single pirate terrorist could defeat an entire navy of ninjas. That would be the most awesome fucking thing evar.
