…Oh yeah, And Joanna (whom I have considered one of the greatest musical artists around right now, REALLY did herself a disservice here, and has ruined a wonderful song for me.

It’s not a movie. It’s not a video. It’s a commercial. For a bank. A very, very evil bank.

However, if it had been a movie or a video; the couple would have rode home, where Bob Lumberjack would have beat the shit out of Little Green, while she cried “ok yeah baby, harder, harder!”

I don’t really think this is greenwashing at all since they aren’t trying to market any “green” product. It’s just a dumb marketing ploy.

This company has another ad that’s in magazines that has three pictures of wind turbines, and on each one it says either environment, future, or eyesore.

this was a curious commercial and even gave me chills a little bit to see folks fighting and working so hard for what they believe in, whether it’s protecting the forest from being cut or cutting the forest in order to make a living. it was weird that a bank made the commercial, and i didn’t really like how it played one side off the other. it creates a false dichotomy. i wonder what joanna newsom thinks about it…

I think it’s a little weird that the girl has to forgive and hug and is dependent on a ride home with the guy that just tore down everything she believes in. That is a dynamic that I don’t like to see perpetuated in the world.

Not that I don’t get that romance and life and logging and economics is complicated but I wish that all of those things had the guys forgiving and forgetting a little more often.

This video is weird. These people — the loggers and activists– are all pawns in the machine of the logging company which is funded by the bank — and only the bank and the ceo’s of the logging company are winning.

Is the message, “We understand you have different roles as the pawns in our money game, but we’ll take both of ya’ll’s money equally?”
