Comic Hypocrisy, Thy Name is Al Gore
Seriously, if you are going to run around trying to be the prophet of the Green movement, stop wasting so much electricity, holding concerts that damage the environment, and stop eating endangered species at your freakin’ spoiled daughter’s Beverly Hills wedding.
From the Daily Mail here:
Only a week after Live Earth, eco-warrior Al Gore didn’t do much for his green credentials when he shocked fellow environmentalists by serving up an endangered fish at his daughter’s wedding rehearsal dinner.
The former US vicepresident provided 75 guests with Chilean sea bass – one of the world’s most threatened fish species.
Gore, 59, who created the climate change documentary An Inconvenient Truth, sampled a sixcourse tasting menu at Beverly Hills’ Crustacean restaurant which included the sea bass – also known as Patagonian toothfish.
Also known as Patagonian toothfish, the species is under huge pressure from illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities in the Southern Ocean, jeopardising the sustainability of remaining stocks.
It is known as one of the world’s most endangered species of fish.
So what was the side dish? Baby Panda soup? White Rhino salad? Aren’t most eco-nuts vegans? Why were there 75 people eating the world’s most endangered fish? Kinda makes any wedding where you have the choice between the chicken and the beef tenderloin look a little weak, eh?
