Fine, boycott the oilsands, however what makes me mad is all of these companies are having their goods made in China at polluting, shit factories paying crap wages, and they have the fucking gall to get indignant about Alberta. It's such a fucking smoke and mirrors show. Makes my head explode.

That said, it goes to show you what some pop culture pressure can do. Now, if only we had some celebs denounce manufacturing that makes the corrupt assbags in China's government rich we'd get somewhere.

1. UR on the road to becoming a victim of outrage overload.
Pick your fights kid. If you need to hit the utilities where it hurts, spend less on utilities.

3. They're idiots, you're not.
Set an example - without being a complete ass about it. I, personally, continue to fail at that.
