Paul Is (Not) Dead, but he's killing the environment

Hi, there Paul. Nice to see ya. Especially nice to see ya tooling around in your fancy motor car. It's so fancy, it's a limo you paid Lexus $164,000 for it. Actually, you didn't pay for it. Lexus gave it to you as an expression of their thanks for your promotion of the green lifestyle. That's sooooo cute!

Alas, Paul was especially troubled to learn that the special eco-sin-canceling vehicle was transported from Japan to Great Britain on a cargo jet rather than a more green-friendly cargo ship.

"He was horrified after learning it was delivered by plane. Paul has always campaigned for green issues and he can't understand why anyone would send an enormous car from Japan to Britain on a plane. " ...

"Everyone was shocked. The carbon footprint must be enormous. "

How enormous? Well, 100 times bigger than if they made Sir Paul wait an extra 10 days or so and have it shipped the old fashioned way — over the sea. As my friend Van Helsing says at Moonbattery:

If he wants to make it up to Gaia, all he has to do is stop living like a Czar for a few days.

No. We can't have that. He's a star! Not living like a czar for a few days? C'mon. That's for the little people — who don't know how hard it is to live like a czar while lecturing others about their lifestyles and trying to cover their carbon footprints. Tough work, that.

I'm sure if he just drives his Lexus hybrid for the next 10,000 years or so, he'll make up for the carbon emissions. What's 10,000 years when you're as old as Paul McCartney?

A lot of marriages and divorces. Even his fortune might not survive such a test.
