    @Kivrin: This travesty has been going on for a too long. Its been sort of in and out of the news. I believe that J Lo was in a film based on some of the events but it got bad reviews so I'm not sure that it was seen by many people.

    I stumble across this same photo someplace else. Those kids were from the Dutch embassy. They weren't Mexican. But there are a surprisingly large number of blonde native born Mexicans whose grandparents or great grand parents emigrated from Europe. Same is true across all of South America.

    And as someone mentioned earlier its criminally insane how all the Mexican magazines and tv shows ignore people with Indian features. #queenbeatrix

    Hmm. I thought it was going to say Jalisco (cause they have a very large white population) or something. But, nope, it's Mexico City. Makes sense since Mexico City is a huge trap fro expatriates and immigrants from South America/Europe/Middle East.

    ETA: I hate that all the pictures from Mexico shown in magazines, tv, other media always show pretty white kids but they never show any pretty brown one's except when they're showcasing poverty. Blrgh. Mexico get over your colorism it's kind of pathetic. You know most of your population is mestizo not criollo.

    Um, I was going to say something about how PETA should look to Greenpeace as an example of how to make flashy protest work/how to use fierce-looking women to good advantage without actually, you know, EXPLOITING them... but having just read all the funny comments, that seems kinda buzz-kill-y....


    So instead I'll go for: Yeah, that's the look I have on my face when I'm in the middle of my re-cycle too!



    Hey, I tried. Points for trying?

    Whatever Greenpeace, girl. I killed that tree in self defense, though I do confess to leaving the stump where it is as an example to the others.

    While I am often in doubt as to the effectiveness of Greenpeace and similar protests, I think the actions they have done this week have raised a fair bit of awareness and had a lot of positive and productive effects. Which is nice.

    And not funny enough to be on this page.

    Sorry.

    Deforestation will also prevent people from creating homes in the trees if they're ever shipwrecked on a deserted island.

    @cate3710: Not SUPER ironic, though, as almost all paper is produced from trees specifically planted to create paper. Deforestation is usually a farming or habitation development issue.
