I’ve been holding on to this post for a while now, mainly because I fear that I’m not going to do it the comedic justice it deserves. When I saw the picture below, wait, don’t scroll there yet, I felt like a kid in a toy store. Where do I begin? Do I go look at the action figures? The video games? The Legos? AHHAHAHA the possibilities are just too endless. Knowing that I probably could have written a more witty, well thought out post about it, I’m going to put up my comments anyway, as crude as they are.

So, the other day I was walking through Wal-Mart towards the checkout, when I saw these little islands. If you’ve ever been in Wally World, then you know what I’m talking about. The $5.50 DVD’S that no one really wants, like Weekend At Bernies 2, or Land Before Time MMCXVII: Little Foot Goes To Vegas. Or maybe the newest cd compilation of your favourite 80’s country-western singer. Adrift in this sea of unwanted plastic I saw the sales island pictured below:

One of these things is not like the other...

It was an island full of DVDs which had to do with Earth Day. The advert on the side of it made me bust a gut laughing. Seriously? Happy Feet? I apologize for the quality of the picture, but I took it with my phone.

Just for the fun of it, here’s a quick synopsis from www.imdb.com about each of the four movies listed:

11th hour: A look at the state of the global environment including visionary and practical solutions for restoring the planet’s ecosystems.

Planet in Peril: CNN takes viewers around the world in a two-part, four-hour documentary that examines our changing planet. This worldwide investigation, shot in high definition, looks at four key issues: climate change, vanishing habitats, disappearing species and human population growth.

An Inconvenient Truth: A documentary on Al Gore’s campaign to make the issue of global warming a recognized problem worldwide.

Happy Feet: Into the world of the Emperor Penguins, who find their soul mates through song, a penguin is born who cannot sing. But he can tap dance something fierce!

Nothing says “Let’s get our butts into gear and save this planet like penguins that can tap dance something fierce!” If the cuteness of dancing, computer animated penguins is enough to save the environment, I can’t wait for the story of Jumbles the Baby Panda, whose family lives in valley of cute, singing flowers. Jumbles will bring world peace by refusing to eat the talking bamboo. Then we will be able to lay aside our petty differences and truly live happily ever after.
