This pretty much says it all....
Every time I see this commercial, I cringe. What has America come to? Why is it so terrible to use plain-jane washable dish towels to dry your hands? They're just hands.... if they get wet, they'll dry, as will most other things. If you don't like using dishtowels, then just air dry... it won't kill you!
After seeing the real commercial (this one is fake, obviously... you probably guessed it since the word "parody" is in the title) I wonder if America really wants to change, or if it's doing stuff like this for attention.
We've become a two year old child, screaming and throwing things around when we don't get our way, just to get attention from all of the adults in the room. The only difference is that this two year old has money to throw around and the idea that all resources are infinite, and will magically appear once they've been depleted.
Hasn't the oil spill taught anyone anything? The earth has taken enough abuse, just at our hands specifically... why is it necessary torture it further?
Those people that are non-chalant and unconcerned.... I don't know how they haven't realized that this is a one shot deal. Once this is gone (and let me tell you, we've effed this one up pretty badly), that's it. Game over. No more.
It's either this place, mars, or the afterlife.
The sad part is that the world isn't full of those kinds of people. And by "those kinds" I mean the geniuses who thought up the disposable hand towel, or nuclear power-plants (basically anything whose con's far out way the pros). The problem is, they're running our government and innovation companies.
Can the rest of us fix what's been done?
Probably not. But we can sure as hell try.
Save the earth, don't buy Kleenex disposable hand towels.
Make the world a better place.
(P.S. The next time I go on an environmental preservation rant, I'll try to make it more comical for your amusement. This one was pretty hard core... as it should be for such a heavy issue. But when I approach this topic again, I'll bring my sense of humor with me.)
