Roadside billboard ads set out in consecutive order to deliver their message are nothing new. However when the message is as poignant as this campaign, drivers sit up and notice.

Using the old flick book art form of animation and motion the individual images create a fast moving clip to a driver speeding by them at high speeds. Quite literally, for a speeding driver life can flash by them in a split second. By Andy G

This reminds me of the memorials they put up for suicide bombers in the middle east.

Most light pulls brighten up your room. Hanging Harry, on the other hand, darkens it up. The suicidal light pull comes with a limp, lifeless body and 6.5 feet of string/rope. It'll appeal to your morbid sense of humor (or make everyone think you're weird). It goes for $15, which is a lot cheaper than Prozac. – Louis Ramirez

Global warming is going to have a giant product rollout.

Somehow, I think this is a big portion of the credibility problems. Those who are on the fence about the causes of global warming don't trust the politics and rhetoric. I think energy solutions have value beyond global warming. Most of the short term solutions are fairly pointless. Looking to fix a sinking ship with bandaids is a bad idea. Law will not change nature, including human nature. If a technological solution is not found, we're fucked. The global warming propaganda machine capitalizes on fear the same way the war on terror does. The democrats need to claim that they're trying to save the world too. Will the war on global warming be any more effective than the war on terror?
