ABC tells kids when they should commit suicide! This is SICK!

[Agent CSL]

Carbon Cult sickos are under fire for an interactive website that tells children they should die because they emit CO2.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation's "Planet Slayer" site invites young children to take a "greenhouse gas quiz", asking them "how big a pig are you?". At the end of the quiz, the pig explodes, and ABC tells children at "what age you should die at so you don’t use more than your fair share of Earth’s resources!"

It's one of a number of interactive features that "Get the dirt on greenhouse without the guilt trips. No lectures. No multinational-bashing (well, maybe a little...). Just fun and games and the answers to all your enviro-dilemas," ABC claims.

The site is aimed at 9-year olds. However even a "virtuous" rating (e.g. not owning a car and recycling) is outweighed by eating meat, or spending an average Aussie income - with the result that many 9-year olds are being told they've already outstayed their environmentally-compliant stay on the planet.

"Do you think it's appropriate that the ABC ... depict people who are average Australians as massive overweight ugly pigs, oozing slime from their mouths, and then to have these pigs blow up in a mass of blood and guts?" asked Senator Mitch Fifield in the Herald-Sun.

Ahhh... Every self-respecting childrens' website should open with "find out when you should die".

[Kludge]

Ahahahahaha! Once it asks how much you consume (in dollars?), it basically determines the entire quiz.

Haha. Australia is a wild continent/country.

Now the idea really is NOT to implant the idea that the children should commit suicide at a the age computed for themselves.


I'm sure what they REALLY have in mind is that the kids enter the data for their "parents" and "other adults" -- and then get them used to the idea that people SHOULD BE MADE TO DIE at certain ages, in order to "save the planet."

Prepping them for euthanasia. (Hopefully the kids will select the makers of this ABC online game as the first to go... after all, it would only be justice, ABC is using all that electricity to provide that website.)

Its the signal that that tells you it's time to unplug Grampa's medical support equipment. :eek:

[bkreigh]

I should die at 8.7 yet i walk to work and live in an apartment and recycle my soda cans and newspaper. I guess i need to throw some money towards green businesses, get rid of my SUV, and stop traveling to see my family. What a crock of crap.

[Danke]

Wasn't there a tread started a couple of days ago on this ABC presentation?

[Nirvikalpa]

I answered all of the questions the worst answer and I was told to die at 1 years old :D

I was just curious to see if it would say "you should have never been born at all!"

[FindLiberty]

Thank goodness we have wars to cull these useless eaters before they are old enough to vote. Wait, what did Ron Paul say about unnecessary wars?

If you didn't die then you're a selfish pig, using far more of your fair share of whatever stuff they're promoting or something.

[Patriot123]

Oh, please. It's very clear what they meant by "what age should you die?" It's simply saying what age would you would have to live to until you produce your fair share of greenhouse gas.

Now the way they worded it is poor. I'll agree. But it's not like they purposely went out of their way to tell children to commit suicide ;) But, yes, it was worded poorly. I'll agree.

They represented people as pigs and had them explode into blood and gore.... wtf. I mean, are these people incapable of thought?

[Carehn]

9.4 for me! But its for the better of my comrades so good by all. I'm gonna go off myself.

If you are a friend of SGPs, sorry, didn't mean to offend. I just don't like him as a person, personally. I didn't mean to offend you, just don't undestand what In GOD'S NAME I would be doing if I was ever, in my life, trying to "break a million sticks".
Unless I am missing something?:confused:
:D

(haha, I went back pages to get this quote =P)

I'm relatively neutral to SGP. I got this quote when I was listening in on a rant and found it humorous.

The little 8 year old bastard that lives across the street who keeps trampling my Peace rosebushes should have been aborted 6 years ago, before he learned how to walk. I'd like to reduce HIS carbon footprint - with a Louisville Slugger. :mad:

OH my gosh, the only combat training the neighborhood affords (trampling shill's "prized possession roses with thorns) is even over speaking his bounds yapping about "packing". and "loading". ;)
Ancy anyone?

Whatever you say :D

[revolutionary8]

Whatever you say :D

dear mr. asgardhill, who would like to hit a child with a bat, tell me what my "biggest problem" is??????????

forgot-
"Louisville Slugger" was the sort of bat Mr. Shill would prefer.

[asgardshill]

dear mr. asgardhill, who would like to hit a child with a bat, tell me what my "biggest problem" is??????????

Uh, I never actually posted that I would like to strike a child with a baseball bat. I inferred it, but never actually said it. Read the post again.

Its been a pleasure schooling you.

after you "clarified" that you only "imagine"/"Inferred"/threatened such things as opposed to you actually making a confession. As we Americans know, confessions are what matter.
:cool::eek:
