As Greenpeace were knocking themselves out logistically to emplace this thing, didn't the thought cross somebody's mind?-- "Hey. Let's just use Photoshop."

Myeah, it ended up looking fake, so no one would have known the difference.

PS. Been meaning to ask for a while: Are you at JREF forums, or International Skeptics or whatever it's called now, as well?

I really wish they would stop doing things like that, it really doesn't help bring any good publicity to the cause. It's like PETA, sure treating animals ethically is a good thing...but you're pushing people away by being idiots!

Still, goes to show, all causes have their extremists, be it religion or ideology.

I think I missed something.

Then again, I plant trees, recycle, make compost out of kitchen waste and have a green thumb, I really cannot afford to be associated with this rabble

1. What is oba-?
2. What is this a picture of?
3. Why are you upset about it?

A little information might be helpful.

You sure these collective mandatory exercises in correct-rightmindedness pay off as intended?

A waiter picks up the orders by four guests. The first orders a special meal that is healthy. The second points out he takes the price into account and does not want something expensive, he orders something economic. The third wants the typical meal that is typical for the local natives and has some regional flair. And the fourth wants that only vegetables gets used for his meal that were raise "bio" and had no long transportation ways.

And the waiter goes back to the kitchen and calls out the orders: "Four meals of the day!"

The bird (AFAIK) is supposed to be 300m in length.. look at the scale of the humans in the pic ?
Take average human height = 2m... that would make the bird 200m in length ?

Those pics you've provided are not definite proof...

So Peru, the BBC, Greenpeace and the worldwide media are in a giant conspiracy then?

Seems legit...

I bet Obama and the FEMA dentists are behind it, they usually are.
