FUCK TOMMY LEE FOR PRETENDING TO CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 at 4:13pm by Vince Neilstein
Preface: I am having one of those days.
I am sick and tired of celebrities pretending to be eco-friendly. It’s fucking bullshit, and these charades must stop. What’s sparked my ire today is an announcement that Tommy Lee and Ludacris will be teaming up for a new show on Discovery called “Battleground Earth” in which they compete against each other to see who can be the most “green.” The show “features the duo battling against the toxic forces destroying mother earth as they travel across the country on a 10-episode tour.”
For the love of god, put a fucking trap on it. “Green” is so trendy right now, but everyone just likes to talk and not do. Everyone and their mother is going around saying they’re green, but really it stops there — other than recycling the occasional beer bottle (or paying someone else to do it), there is no fucking way Tommy Lee or Ludacris actually a) give a shit about the environment in any more than an abstract way, or b) actually take the extra steps to practice what they preach.
Does Lee use eco-friendly lighhtbulbs? Recycle paper? Does Ludacris unplug his toaster when he isn’t using it, and, if it’s yellow does he let it mellow? These fuckers probably drink bottled water willy nilly and don’t think twice about it. They undoubtedly drive large SUVs everywhere they go.
Let’s just see this TV show as what it is; a fucking sham, designed to cash in on a trend and create the illusion of goodwill. Fuck this shit. Fuck it to hell. It’s an insult to those of us who actually make an effort to be environmentally conscious. I suppose it’s good that environmentalism is getting some exposure through celebrities, but this show just lampoons it by making it into a joke. Fuck off. Die. All of you.
First person to comment that environmentalism is gay / not metal a) gets banned, b) is fucking retarded.
-VN
All I have to say is “AMEN”.
What’s with the warning at the end of this post? Is this Blabbermouth or something?
Tommy Lee and Ludacris are gay / not metal.
Hilarious post. I’m sick of all these posers trying to cash in on the environmentalist trend. It’s jsut like how 9/11 inspired all this sentimental crap that really had nothing to do with the tragedy or did nothing for the victims. Hooray for flags! Wear the flag, wave the flag, drive the flag, post the flag, eat the flag. (all U.S. flags made in China).
Seriously dude, i agree with every single word that you written there! I confess i’m not that worried about the environment in my daily routine, or maybe 10% of the time I try to do it and the other 90% i’m convinced that i’m doing, even when not making it… It is beautiful to see all those “Support the environment, we do!” celebrity shows, but please… behind that crap is all about money, fuckin’ money, fame, prestige and crap crap and 3x crap, for a half-an-hour pretending show…
And about that crap of “Green and metal do not combine with each other! OMG DIE MOTHER EARTH!” is a damn retarded idea… We preach metal in “Mother Earth” right? Metalheads are people ye? They are fathers and mothers too, so why they can’t worry with the planet?
Amen. Wankers.
Fuck! and Yes!
True. We saw that short lived VH1 reality show on Tommy Lee that he drives around in a SUV. And what could possibly be green about “traveling across the country on a 10-episode tour”? Unless they are traveling by foot!
But what about this…
eating meat is decidedly metal. in fact, its very metal. but its also horrible for the environment (farmed animals release 40 percent more toxic gasses than all automobiles in the world combined). so what’s the verdict?
GO VEGAN.
eating meat is metal?
eff that. me and gaahl and angela gossow and kirk hammett and rikki rapist rocket and geoff tate and chris barnes are all vegetarians.
that’s vegetarian: black metal, melodic death metal, thrash metal, glam metal, prog metal, and death metal. and me.
YOU tell gaahl he’s not metal. i’m busy trying to stay not-tortured.
Fuck yeah. This shit has got to stop.
Everybody is too wrapped up in their lives to notice that the earth is melting down around them. It’s never been more important than now to change our ways and start to reverse the terrible damage we’ve done to our planet.
Then assholes like these two try to ride the good will of people who actually want to make a difference, even for the fucks with their cash blinders on who couldn’t give a damn except where their next Jag and european vacation comes from.
Fuck them.
Fuck veganism. It’s just another tool of self-righteousness. And all the people “los” listed are impossible to take seriously about anything. Especially Chris Barnes and Gaahl. I love Gorgoroth to death, but the members themselves are more comedians than “satanists” to me. Be vegetarian if you want, but don’t go around acting like it makes you a better person than anyone. Can’t a brother just enjoy being at the top of the food chain in peace?
fuck greenwashing. every company is apparently our friend these days, and i don’t believe em.
Could not agree MORE! No more to say.
Yeah, all of us vegetarians are doing it just to make ourselves out to be better than non-vegetarians. That’s it. That’s the only reason.
Dumbass.
Green is the color of mold and money.
Literally everything that Tommy Lee does that isn’t playing drums is embarrassing to watch. In fact, from what little I’m hearing of the new Crue record, things are looking bad all around.
Um, yeah this Tommy/Luda show is retarded and should be billed as “a 10-episode for that bullshit ‘music’ DJ Tommy Lee and Ludacris are peddling.”
But, the show may raise awareness for green causes. Reading the comments that preceded, I’m sensing that most of the posters live in city centers — don’t forget how important it is for people residing in Bumfuck, USA to have TV/TV personalities to tell them how to live.
sorry: that should read “10-episode COMMERCIAL for that bullshit …”
Tommy Lee has a dick the size of a Redwood tree. It makes him an authority on the horrors of deforestation.
It’s just another thing Tommy Lee is trying to do to keep his sorry ass name afloat. Him and Ricki Rachtman need go to the Island Of Runaway Posers and DIE as far as i’m concerned. (I may have spelled ricki’s name wrong but who really fuckin cares).
[...] of the matter is that most people do not take any extra steps to cut back their carbon footprint (especially not Tommy Lee and Ludacris). Earth Day is bullshit because every day should be earth day. Starting today. Make a [...]
Marketing, when done correctly, will use any and every angle of whatever readily available “guilty burden” of the current social conscience exists, in order to cash-in. Whether it’s Alan Jackson and his weepy 9-11 croonings or the 80’s metal scene trying to convince youth to say no to drugs, there is always a “big-idea moron” willing to scramble in and capitalize.
Maybe Tommy Lee should work on reducing his carbon dick-print.
“Every person must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or the darkness of destructive selfishness. This is the judgment. Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, What are you doing for others?”

um did anybody think that maybe by becoming aware of how harmful his suv was that he got rid of his. i know i could sell an suv in a couple of months. so i’m pretty sure a tommy ex-ride could go real quick too. and he’s not on a trend. he’s been with peta with the last year and a half with a campaign called “wear fur, fuck off”. but you guys know it all. so i’m sure you won’t listen to a goddamn word of this.
Global Hoax you people are brainwashed ,, NOne OF us ArE getting out Of this alive… Enjoy each day as it comes.
Metal is gay
Long hair is for fags.
Environmentalists are gay.
If you honestly believe all this global warming bullshit, I’m willing to bet you still think the earth is flat.
Seriously – I haven’t seen a bigger collection of retards, in one space, since the special olympics.
You anal babies can ban me now.
