It's called an induglence

Remember when they sold carbon offesets? They may still sell these scams, I just don't travel enough to notice. As we recall, these were enviromental indulgences where you paid for your guilt when you traveled in a godless jumbojet or biplane. That thought when through my feeble grey matter when I saw this cartoon.
With that being poorly written, have you seen the hybrid SUV commerical where the teenage girl asks dad to drop her off a distance away from her cool green friends. Apparently, they are into the green thing in that part of town and she may be shunned like a leper or some crap like that. The dad casually says his SUV is a hybrid and the BS ensues. If my daughter said that, I would tell her to go Ed Begly Jr. and take a friggin' bike.
This commercial blatantly projects the juvenile attitude of the green movement.
If you are weak enough to fall from some middle school level peer pressure in buying a hybrid because of this commercial. We need to to talk. It is not a bad thing to buy a hybrid, it's your choice. I disagree with creating a social caste system to those who chose free will over arrogant marketing.
