George Meyer asks, “Are you a Hypocrite?”

Producer and writer for The Simpsons, George Meyer, invites eveyone, even the hypocrites to join the environmental movement.

Meyer’s contemplate being rescued by Nanobots or a possible move to Jupiter to escape the apocalyptic hellscape A.K.A “the earth”. Meyer’s says, “Once in a while, humanity will pull together for a noble cause, like tsunami relief. To save our planet, we’ll need that kind of heroic effort, in which all types of people join forces for the common good.” He continues, ”For years, the environmental movement has enlisted the world’s most selfless and enlightened souls. No more. We’re broadening our sights; and by broadening, I mean lowering.”

Funny and very real.
