I am suspicious and paranoid by nature.

I can never really get very involved with activist groups. I'm always worried that no matter how reasonable and purely motivated they appear that behind all that there are crazy people, or greedy people or just plain misguided. For example, according to angriest the boss of Greenpeace gets paid millions of dollars a year. And also apparently Arnold Schwarzenegger is a horrible person.

So I've been reading this GetUp! group for a while now. I like what they're all about. They seem cool. However, I am quite prepared to be disillusioned, if anyone knows where the bodies are?

In the meantime, they've made this spoof of the government's Climate Clever campaign. I feel kind of awkward showing it off, because of the bit at the end about donating. I'd like to make it clear I AM TOTALLY NOT suggesting y'all should be donating here. That bit's on the end because they were raising money to show the ad in Sydney during the Grand Final tomorrow, to reach the maximum amount of people. They've actually more than doubled the amount they originally asked for and are going to be showing it in other cities, and at other times. Yays!
