The sheer ball-busting hypocrisy of
Sting has been brought right out into the open with the latest news about him and the pair of shuddering skeletons who make up
The Police. Despite Sting's holier-than-thou attitude to the environment (and his endless attempts to have western photographers take pictures of South American natives with ashtrays jammed into their gobs), The Police have just been outed as the worst offenders for leaving behind
a dirty great carbon footprint.
And that isn't even counting the noise pollution, with the black stream of foul lyrics that flow from Sting's mouth and end up wrapping themselves around birds, causing them to plummet to their deaths, or something.
Radiohead (No Surprises) were deemed to be the greenest band on the planet, largely due to their policy of moving band and equipment around the world on the back of volunteer ants. Oddly enough, Babyshambles also leave a respectably small carbon footprint wherever they go, though there is that smell of sulphur that follows them around as well.
John Buckley of Carbonfootprint.com (check it out, it's a fucking laugh riot) said...
"At Live Earth in New Jersey where The Police played, the biggest emissions weren't from the concert, it was the fans," (presumably the ones cooling Sting's massive fivehead), "The Police played lots of big stadiums - they need to be careful over where they play, and make sure it's near public transport."
How about Kabul airport then?
