So what’s with all the ads now about a certain mega-retailer being all “green” and eco-friendly? Is anyone actually buying this BS? As if insulating your roof makes up for crappy labour relations or compensates for the environmental impact of shipping all your crappy lead-tainted products from China.

Speaking of Environment. I’d like to speak to the idiot who thought of the grand idea of building a wooden bicycle, and the world thinking of it as a smart move. You dumb fuck, if you’re idea catches on, think of how many more trees will be cut down in addition to the trees used for building supplies. Do people think before they make a statement?! It’s like giving another excuse to cut down more trees!. Last time i check, that wasn’t environmentally friendly!
Who the hell came up with the idea of a wooden bicycle?
kinda like the electric ATV they are promoting lately. Who cares what it runs on, it still tears up the environment!
A wooden bicylcle…I can just see my dog tearing one out from under some poor cyclist..the same way he used to grab the biggest broken branch he could find on the sidewalk (usually about the size of a small tree) to frolick with! Anyway, just kidding around.
