Un-Liberaled Woman

Ever heard of this site, The Best Page In The Universe.

Well, you’re welcome – cause now you’ve heard of literally one of the funniest sites around. Here’s one of my personal favorite rants from 2005 about Cameron Diaz’s failed pro-eco traveling show Trippin’. Maddox’s (the author) rant on celebrity elitism and far left stances on global warming are spot on. You’ve got to read the entire thing – and if you do and don’t laugh even once I’d dare say you don’t have what they call a sense of humor.

At one point in the show they go to a village made of shit (literally, cow shit) and Diaz calls it “beautiful” and “inspiring.” Yeah, just not beautiful and inspiring enough to give up any of the three mansions you own, right you disingenuous bitch?

Every time she opens her gaping mouth, she spews more self-righteous bullshit all over the place. One of my favorite lines is when she says “it’s kind of gotten out of hand how much of a convenience we think we need.” Diaz, who makes around $20 million per picture and drives a Lexus, was able to say this with a straight face. What the hell is that supposed to mean, “convenience we think we need”? We don’t need it asshole, we want it. I like being able to get hot water, hot food, and hot porn whenever I want. Just as soon as you give up your mansion and live in a shit hut with your multi-millionaire boyfriend, we might give a shit about your criticism of the modern conveniences.

And Maddox does an even better job of calling out that fallacy of “carbon credits” the left likes to moufbarf out anytime somebody calls them properly out on their hypocrisy *cough*Al Gore*cough*Leo “Flying Charter” DiCaprio*cough*cough.

Of course, having a show in which the hosts prattle on and on about conservation and environmental causes, it makes you wonder how they’re able to do it without sounding like giant hypocrites as they fly around on helicopters and jets, all while using enough electricity to power a small city. Simply put: they can’t, but that doesn’t stop them from trying.

The way they try to avoid this nagging ideological contradiction is by stating: “Trippin’ has offset all the pollution created from energy use in making the show, to ensure that it would not contribute to global warming.” They supposedly do this by buying “clean air credits.” Great idea assholes, so instead of owning up to your shitty ideals and not polluting, you pay someone else not to pollute. Maybe we should all try to pay someone off every time we want to do something that might inconvenience us. I was going to go on a diet, but it’s too hard, so I’m going to pay someone else to diet for me. I was going to do a show about community service, but doing the actual work was too inconvenient, so I’m going to pay someone to do it for me. Eat shit you elitist morons.

It’s so easy for people perched on a mountain of money to lecture those without on the adaptability to learn to live without. Easy to say we should curve our materialistic needs when you make $20 million for 3-6 months work. For most people like me and extravagance is going shopping once every six months and spending $200 at Khol’s or JC Penney. So yeah, I find it a little hard to agree with you on how we as a society need to do more with less. Umm, how about you first since you’re the one suffering so much guilt that you’ve chosen to do nothing but open up yo’ mouffff up about it??? Just sayin’, guuuuuuuuuuuurl.

Green technologies while good for the earth are also very, very expensive due to the fact they are still in the early adopters phase of market use and therefore are not ideal nor good for the pocketbook of a person who lives paycheck to paycheck. I think like most celebrities, Diaz & crew only do things like this because they are more motivated by the idea of themselves as influencers than actually serving the underlying mission of the message. Ultimately, like any good liberal the political position is more about lifting their own profile than actually doing work that benefits the cause. They have millions upon millions of dollars and couple that with the fact MTV was footing the bill – you’re telling me there wasn’t a way to better educate people on the environment than going to a random jungle via the MTV VIP helicopter? If you really believe that then you truly deserve to have the govt. come in and plunder your ass into poverty while others idly stand by benefiting from the redistribution.

The thing is, I actually like Cameron Diaz – as an actress. I like her movies, think she can be very pretty. But stick to acting, Cam, and step away from the political soapbox before you embarrass yourself more with you’re oblivious hypocrisy.
