Greenpeace reply....
Hi Frank,
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 like yourselves. 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 - not to be taken too seriously. But I respect your views on this and we will take them into account for future work we do on 4X4s.

Getting really cheesed off now.... mail to the advertising standards agency.
Where you saw the advert: Greenpeace Website http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/gasguzzler/?CFID=4614100&CFTOKEN=33282897
When you saw the advertisement: 24th July 2006
The advertisers: Greenpeace
The product: Anti 4x4 Campaign
Your complaint: Sir/Madam, I am writing to complain about the imlicit promotion of ant-social behaviour contained within this video. It contains scenes of a campaign of victimisation, exclusion and workplace bullying. As an HR professional I know that if this behavior was exhibited in a real workplace, the perpetrator faces a number of penalties that could include summary dismissal. I think it is very irresponsible of Greenpeace to produce a video such as this that not only does not contain any specific evidence relating to their message but that promotes the worst type of workplace bullying of an innocent individual. Yours sincerely Frank McGoldrick

My response to their reply...
John,
I’m disappointed to note that you have failed to answer my question. It was not rhetorical.
I have heard that your response is likely to suggest that your video intended to target “city gas guzzlersâ€Â. Please indicate for me the part of the video that does this?
I am aware that the response you sent me is a stock response and I am disappointed that you do not feel able to respond specifically to me. Please do so.
Frank McGoldrick

Hi,
Having finally found time to watch the video, if you replace the 4wdriver with (for example) a disabled person or a person of another colour, greenpeace would condemn it, i am sure. Just because it is a 4wdriver does not make it funny or right. It is abusive and upsetting. I have often supported greenpeace in many of their campaigns, but will no longer.
Regards
Ela

Dont greenpeace realise the earth has been getting hotter (climate change) since the last ice-age :?: .
According to scientific statistics the atmosphere was much worse than it is now prior to the last ice age.
In other words....... can someone explain how stopping driving ANY polluting vehicle is gonna stop the next ice age :?: Its coming no-matter what we do :roll: :roll:
