Celebrities Eat, Surf to Protest Energy Industry
Hollywood celebrities want you to know that they care about the environment, and they will damn well eat themselves sick on organic whole-grain pancakes and spend their morning paddling around on $1200 surfboards just to prove it to you. According to Us Weekly,
Actor Pierce Brosnan hosted a pancake breakfast for celebrities on Sunday to protest a natural gas facility proposed for a site 14 miles off the Malibu coast… Pierce welcomed pals like Halle Berry, Cindy Crawford, Tea Leoni, Jane Seymour, Dick Van Dyke, and professional surfer Laird Hamilton.
Berry told reporters, “We have to use our voices and band together and stop this.”
After breakfast, dozens… paddled out to a sign bobbing in the water, which contained a message to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger… The sign [had] a red line through it and the words: “Terminate it!”
Well, well. If that doesn’t cement your belief in celebrity integrity, nothing will. It’s like that time I got drunk and shot off a bunch of fireworks to raise awareness for Lou Gehrig’s Disease. I pretty much spent the afternoon doing jello shots and getting wasted and almost lighting myself on fire. Then I went home and puked a couple of times before I passed out in the kitchen floor. Now, how exactly does that help victims of Lou Gehrig’s, you might ask? Well, it doesn’t, genius. That’s exactly my fucking point.

And let’s talk about those surfboards they’re paddling out on. They’re made of syrofoam correct? Styrofoam takes like what, 500 years to biodegrade, correct? When those surboards are made, they start out as a 6inch X 2ft x 10ft, 12ft or maybe 14ft chunk of styrofoam. Half of it ends up on the floor to be disposed of where? In a landfill, that’s where.
Don’t get me started on the epoxy resin used to strengthen the boards!

Wasn’t there at least one moment, while they were paddling out to a friggin’ sign in the water, where someone thought to themselves, “Gee, this is actually kind of stupid.”?

I thought it might have happened while they were sitting on their asses eating fucking pancakes. What happened to chaining yourself to something or burning your undergarments? That’s a protest. Not a yummy breakfast and frolicking in the ocean.

What did your mother always tell you about swimming?
“Wait an hour before you go back in the water.”
“But Maaaaaaaaaa!”

the only reason why they would even care about this is because it is off the coast of malibu where a lot of these people live. if it was off any other coast they wouldnt even care
