“beyond the environment”

My husband received this video the other day courtesy of a friend in the UK and we have enjoyed it several times since. The first time I watched it, I wasn’t sure if it was real or a spoof on an actual incident involving an oil spill off the Australian coast. Not knowing exactly where it came from (other than Australia), I have come to the conclusion that it’s just a brilliant Monty Python-esque spoof on certain people who, let’s say, don’t exactly get it about environmental issues that would be even funnier if it didn’t have some elements of inconvenient truth…enjoy!

    Hi Madeleine,

    I admit I haven’t read much of your blog before, but I was having a browse through it today and spotted this one! I’m from Australia, and I recognise this duo ;-) They are a regular feature on ABC TV’s “The 7.30 Report”, and do a short satirical “comment” on the biggest Australian political news of the week. This particular episode is an old one, but you might enjoy looking through http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/clarkedawe.htm for more. It does help if you’re familiar with Australian politics, but it’s still worth a look :-)

    Even snopes got their hand in this one – http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/frontfell.asp – explains where that clip came from originally.
