TV: I Vote 4 Energy

This video spoofing an actual American Petroleum Institute "Vote4Energy" commercial shows how Big Oil has to fake citizen support for dirty energy. Pushing projects like the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline and Arctic offshore drilling, API lobbyists want Americans to Vote 4 Big Oil at the expense of cleaner and safer energy development.

Perfect...Big oil is just a joke and what they say is as well. The only one who will receive profits are the owners and execs of big oil. The future is Renewable Energy and that is long-term jobs and long-term, environmentally friendly energy. Big oil is on the losing end no matter what way you look at it, we know where the future is and it does not include big oil and the oil sands...Oh, get rid of idiot Harper who is running our country. Most fathers would be thinking of their children.

Maybe I should vote for cancer, more earthquakes, more volcanoes and pyroclastic flows, more nuke plants, a new ice age, or another dead zone like the Gulf of Mexico, or how about more pesticides spraying on crops and more Chemtrail spraying. Oh and how about more toxic sewage sludge to fertilize U.S. crops. How about I drink a 12oz glass of crude every morning, noon and night.

Put that in your Vote For Oil commercial.

Big oil is acting just like Rockefeller when he learned of the early successes of electric power. He tried to kill electricity and continued pushing his kerosine. It is most often big corporations that prevent us from moving forward.

I have been seeing a ton of ads with actors playing the most sheepish people, who say how they support the gas/petrol/coal industry with the most undo pride:"I'm an 'Energy Voter!'", or I'm an 'Energy Mom!'" Well, I'm a 'Competent Voter' and I vote them 'The Finger!' _,|,,

The worst, are those that make it look like they are charitable or somehow make the world better, and that we owe them something! Fuck them!

I like this parody: its funny; it honest. I would love to see it on TV.

Here's what it says at the end of the vote4energy REAL commercial:

"Paid for by The American Petroleum Institute" LOL....

[Demian Bell]

CNN which runs their fake ads upteen times a day is the ApI's bitch and bought and sold by big oil.
