The Yes Men strike: Kerzenöl aus Menschenfleisch

Zur bitteren Erheiterung am Freitag, direkt von DailyKos:

In the actual speech, the „NPC rep“ announced that current U.S. and Canadian energy policies (notably the massive, carbon-intensive exploitation of Alberta’s oil sands, and the development of liquid coal) are increasing the chances of huge global calamities. But he reassured the audience that in the worst case scenario, the oil industry could „keep fuel flowing“ by transforming the billions of people who die into oil.

„We need something like whales, but infinitely more abundant,“ said „NPC rep“ „Shepard Wolff“ (actually Andy Bichlbaum of the Yes Men), before describing the technology used to render human flesh into a new Exxon oil product called Vivoleum. 3‑D animations of the process brought it to life.

„We’ve got to get ready. After all, fossil fuel development like that of my company is increasing the chances of catastrophic climate change, which could lead to massive calamities, causing migration and conflicts that would likely disable the pipelines and oil wells. Without oil we could no longer produce or transport food, and most of humanity would starve. That would be a tragedy, but at least all those bodies could be turned into fuel for the rest of us.“

So die Rationale des Repräsentanten von ExxonMobile zum Produkt Vivoleum, dazu gibt auch die Folien als .ppt. Und wieder eine Konferenz gehackt.
