Sometime back, I took a lot of heat and got called a lot of names for making fun of Harrison Ford’s little environmental chest waxing protest.
All right — I made most of that up. The name calling never really happened. I bet you clicked on it though. Loser.
Now Han Solo is in a little trouble with meddling hippie types because he’s doing things that go against his support of environmental friendliness stuff.
Here are some examples from his IMDB page.
Honored for his work with the environment, Ford was asked to name a new breed of butterfly. He named it after his daughter, Georgia.
That’s stupid.
And…
Has a species of Central American ant (Peidole harrisonfordi) and spider (Calponia Harrisonfordi) named after him in honor of his conservation work.
And this…
During his carpenter days he built a deck for Sally Kellerman.
But now he’s trying to destroy all of that, and his hippie overlords over at carbonfootprint.com are pitching a fit over it because as it turns out airplanes aren’t very Earth friendly. Here’s what he told Britain’s Live magazine.
“Learning to fly was a work of art. I’m so passionate about flying I often fly up the coast for a cheeseburger. Flying is like good music; it elevates the spirit and it’s an exhilarating freedom.”
He’s right. sometimes I drive my Lamborghini 135 miles an hour, seven blocks to get a six-pack of Old Style.
Dr. Wendy Buckley is the “director” of the website that’s got it’s panties in a wad. It’s kinda the same as how I’m the director of my own private army. Here’s Wendy:
Flying is a huge source of carbon emissions and making unnecessary journeys by plane can no longer be seen as responsible to our environment.
Stars like Harrison Ford need to embrace the huge opportunity to lead by example in the battle against climate change — reduce their overall lifestyle carbon footprint and carbon offset those unavoidable emissions.
Somebody needs to keep an eye on these people for her. I wonder if there’s some kind of Internet site that kept track of all this hypocrisy stuff. Like, maybe one where a guest writer who looks really good in tight clothes shows up once in a while? Where would I find something like that?

What are the enviros worried about? I’m sure he buys carbon credits. Just following the example of the Governor I’m sure.
It’s cool, people. He flew Trudie Styler and Sting to some kundalini classes. In Peru.
Sigh. Come on guys, surely you realise that there is a ‘special’ rank of eco-warrior, a breed of soldier entrusted with the life threatening task of using their fame to lecture others. At ease soldier Ford, your work is done. Hoo Ra.
Relax people it was a Morning Star griller veggie cheeseburger. Try and do some research before calling out Captain Solo.
And besides do we even know what fuels the Millenium Falcon? It could be carbon neutral.
True, Stan. This IS the guy who made the Kessel Run in under 12 parsnips or something.
You know, if someone named an ant and a spider after me, I’d try to destroy something too.
“I didn’t know you could fly a plane, Junior.”
“Fly, yes. Land, no.”
I think Harrison needs to get in touch with the old Harrison who was a simple carpenter and went around healing the sick and the lame…….hey wait a minute…….
So that’s what Han and Chewie were doing on Tatooine. They’d heard the cheeseburgers at that Mos Eisley cantina were the best in the galaxy.
Parsnips, catnips, catnaps, whatever… Mos Eisley… we’ve got it bad.
Lucas will probably change up the films in some “special edition” eventually to remove the offensive carbon-emitting flight scenes, a la Speilberg turning the cops guns in E.T. into walkie talkies. What a douche.
Wait, the guns to walkie-talkies thing ACTUALLY HAPPENED? (I really don’t like ET, so I know nothing about the re-release)
I thought that was something South Park came up with for extra stupidity.
