Greenpeace - oh what have they become :(

Thought I'd give "The Times" a try....

Sir,

I have just watched a video on the Greenpeace website that forms part of their anti 4x4 campaign and am concerned at the message it is promoting.

The video follows a day at work of an individual where at every turn his co-workers are carrying out a vindictive campaign of insults, both written and verbal and a policy of exclusion. There is even an instance of a co-worker making a coffee for the victim and spitting in it.

Whilst there is a reasoned debate to be had about the impact of all types of vehicles on our environment, I am horrified at the type of judgemental, anti-social behaviour this video portrays.

The video can be viewed here.

And for the purposes of balance, the kind of reasoned data I expect from Greenpeace can be found here. (www.4x4prejudice.org)

All my life, Greenpeace has been an organisation that I have had respect for. This video has cost them my respect.

Yours sincerely

Frank McGoldrick

Exactly the same  :roll: and the same as the one I received  :roll:  :roll:

I have replied to them and explained that if these people that made the movie work for the motor industry then this may be the last advert they make. I will be emailing the motor manufacturers body, the SMMT tomorrow with a copy of Greenpeace's email and they will I suspect carry out an investigation.

I still have to see the police tomorrow to get some light shed on the other path.

Same responce here.  Had a rough day so not going to reply yet


Hi Dave,

Sorry the film upset you so much. It was aimed at city gas guzzlers not farmers or other people who need them or who have modified them. It was produced by people inside the advertising industry who normally make car ads. They wanted to do something for us that challenged the whole aspirational nature of 4X4s of giving freedom, sex apppeal, etc etc. It was really just done as a spoof car ad. Some people have said its brilliant, some not. But I respect your views on this and we will take them into account for future work we do on 4X4s.

John

Garth:
I haven't read all other posts so I may be repeating someone.

But isn't that a waste/misuse of Charitable funds "Having a bit of fun" with money donated to a "worthy charity"

If someone has time should get in touch with Charities commission.
