Remember when Madonna played at Live Earth? You know, Al Gore’s concert to remind us that WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE FROM GLOBAL WARMING? The superannuated superstar even wrote Live Earth’s theme song, “Hey You,” which was all about how you need to stop living your life, you planet-killer you. Unfortunately for her, people started looking into her carbon footprint, and hey, you wouldn’t believe how gigantic it was. And they dug up some other little nitpicky things, like the fact that she was spending 10 grand a month on Earth-destroying bottled water. Details, details.
In response to being scrutinized by the little people, Madonna, via her spokesperson, claimed she was “educating herself and her family and has begun to make changes around her that reflect her awareness and concern for the future of the planet.” Pretty, pretty words!
Ecorazzi is holding her to those words, and they’re disappointed. According to them:
Environmental organizations got into the commenting zone last week when Madonna’s crew publicly released the amount of crap and resources going into her “Sticky and Sweet” tour. In particular, the peeps over at CarbonFootprint.com released figures showing that her 45-day concert extravaganza is equivalent to the carbon output of around 160 Britons — in one year…
Even odder? Madonna is plugging Global Warming activism on her tour!! In a video interlude of her song “Get Stupid”, she flashes several images of the planet being harmed — with slices of it slowly being taken away. There are even flashes of Al Gore on screen, along with those of Mahatma Gandhi, John Lennon, and Barack Obama. For some reason, she also grouped John McCain in with a montage that features Hitler. Really?!
Really.
Hey You: shut up!
