Oh crap!!.... oh never mind

1. You'd think after 50 years they'd have more realistic gorilla suits than the Nairobi Trio look.

4. What was the faux iceberg made out of? How much energy was wasted in its creation, for this stunt?
It could be misinterpreted too; Londoners (or at least the Welsh) to be believing the ice caps are expanding and it's only closer to the equator are ice floes breaking off and puttering around Londontown...

:eyes:


Cynicism aside, emissions should be capped as much as possible. Live closer to work, walk to a local store, et cetera.
