These green people are everywhere. They are looking at everything. Are you getting annoyed? As annoyed as people who still say thinks like "best...[insert thing]...ever" or "my bad" or even "whatever"? They seem to share a shortcut between could be to is.

Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are not doing enough to eliminate potentially harmful chemicals and metals from their games consoles, Greenpeace has said. The body examined materials used inside the Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3), Microsoft Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii.

Nintendo's environment policies were "non-existent", Greenpeace added.

Look, I saw the future yesterday when I took the lad to Speed Racer and you know what? The future didn't look like the granola chewers were in charge. In fact it looked a lot like a neon light factory. Yet, the good guys win, there was a new engine technology that apparently gave off no exhaust and...the good guys win.

We need no stinking Gods or myths as the entire culture is the one living myth. And the cars always go really fast.
