1. Do you have any idea just how stupid that ad is?

The goals may be noble, and workable.

But...Christ on a crutch.
That was just plain stupid.

2. As a LOTR fan, I thought it was fun.

6. Me too. Thought it was entertaining and kept my attention

8. I think it was made in Germany, it's an odd mix, but

plucks the right chord in some of us.

4. +1

Dumbest ever. It's almost like it's intentionally horribly to drive people back to fossil fuels.

5. Yep. Stupid is as stupid does.

3. some needed info -

TTIP – TRANSATLANTIC TRADE AND INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is one of the the world’s biggest ever trade deals, and will remove any remaining trade barriers between the EU and the US economies – while protecting foreign investments. The EU and US economies account for about half of the entire world’s GDP and nearly a third of world trade flows. As TTIP covers pretty much every sector of the economy, from farming to textiles, and IT to services, Greenpeace believes that this deal will jeopardise established environmental protections within the European Union.

Environmental protection and financial regulation will be negatively affected by TTIP, as will provision of healthcare and working conditions. Under TTIP multinational corporations will be able sue governments in special courts, where foreign investors can challenge what they see as regulations harming their investments. By signing the TTIP agreement, our national leaders would ensure to a reduction in living standards and the pollution of the environment, disrupting the lives of 500 million people on both sides of the Atlantic.


CETA – COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC AND TRADE AGREEMENT
The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is a trade and investment agreement between the EU and Canada. CETA covers not only agreements on tariffs and quotas, but also “non-tariff barriers” to trade, which include regulatory standards, and a justice special system only for foreign investors. Greenpeace opposes CETA because it threatens to roll back the hard fought gains we and our allies have achieved to protect the environment and people’s health, as well as the threats to our democracy and rule of law.

9. An excellent ad

And very applicable. Tolkien was inspired to write the LOTR as a metaphor for what was being done to the earth by the industrial polluters.
