Kimberly-Clark's Kleercut - Wiping Away Ancient Forests

You may have seen the ads here in the UK, or indeed elsewhere in the world, where the makers of Kleenex, Kimberly Clark, plonk down a big blue sofa in your high street and ask people to 'let it out' - i.e. relate some tale of woe that makes them cry so, yes - you've guessed it, they feel the need to reach for a Kleenex tissue to wipe away their tears.

These ads have been showing in the UK for months now and I've always thought it would be funny to spoof them, based around the fact many people find it very sad Kimberly-Clark feel the need to cut down ancient forest to provide virgin pulp for their paper products and the pitiful percentage of recycled paper they contain.

Well, Greenpeace in New York City in the USA went one better and hijacked a Kleenex filming session as part of the Kleercut campaign against them (a previous post on this here). This is priceless, check it out, clicky here - http://kleercut.net/en/letitout

Happiness is a warm gun...

There have, perhaps, been more worthy things to write about recently, however, will the US ever give up its love affair with guns? Another shooting, more kids killed. There will undoubtedly be another bit of a kerfuffle, then the US gun lobbies will say how it's a God-given right to shoot your neighbours in the head if they piss you off and actually how that's very unlikely what with how safe guns are and then we'll be watching something similar again soon enough, just like we are now after the last time. US gun law is bizarre - even when it exists. Easier gun accessibility equals more gun-related incidents. It's not rocket science is it?

For the fallen...

Here we lie,
Battered and bruised.
I never thought it would end like this.
Unused.
