The Have Your Sayers are really on form today. With their sophisticated, rapier wit, they’ve managed to come up with a play on words so cerebral that only the actual group being discussed (“Plane Stupid”) got there first.
These idiots (and with such an appropriate name!) should count themselves lucky that armed police didn’t think they were dealing with terrorists and shoot the lot of them. They also need to learn that air travel is less damaging to the environment than the vehicles they used to get to the airport. Official and independent figures show that the so-called eco-friendly Toyota Prius has a CO2 figure per passenger kilometre around 60% higher than the new Airbus A380. Go figure…

It’s a good thing environmentalists never cycle or take public transport, or you’d look a bit of a bell-end. And what’s all this about an appropriate name? I’m confused.
Plane Stupid should be named Plain Stupid. A load of no-hopers trying to make a name for themselves by taking action only they themselves can attempt to justify. Lock them up for breaking the law, and fine each and everyone of them to regain the costs of the police and time lost to travellers. I imagine most of them own cars, and use them. Nobodys who have nothing better to do, they should be ashamed of themselves. Pity they don’t have jobs to do.

You can imagine, yes. Well done. Do you practice? Do you stand in front of a mirror for an hour each morning, picturing Neil from ‘The Young Ones’, multiplying him by 57 and trying to work out how he could be the cause of all your rage? I still don’t understand why we should rename them by the way.
“Plane Stupid” – I think they are PLAIN STUPID as it appears do many commentors on HYS. Do they alienate the public? Of course they do. Do the flying public appreciate their actions? No.
I t seems to me that they have failed their parents rather than the other way around. The Authorities should get out the water cannons and give them a good dousing.
Why is it these young adults, barely out of childhood think they have all the answers? Lock them up over the holidays.

Haha! I get it! It makes sense if you spell it out in block capitals. They’re called “Plane Stupid”, a pun on the phrase “plain stupid”, and, the name “Plane Stupid”, well, it sounds a lot like “plain stupid”. And that’s exactly what they are, “plane” (as in “plain”) STUPID! Hahaha! But don’t worry, they’ll grow out of this nonsense when they get to Big School, and then they’ll respect their parents, obey The Authorities and share your views on everything.

Why is it that whenever an American posts on HYS, within seconds they’re advocating violence as a solution?
Anyone would think they enjoy it…
Plane stupid? PLAIN STUPID more like. Eh? EH?
Oh.
Jean Dyson of Clearwater, Florida enjoys the thought of locking young people up and giving them a good dousing.
Not really important, but I think the Internet should have it on record.
From the same thread:
“NO , its has made me miss my new job interview as i was to fly to stanstead so nowe these tree hugging hippies have cost me the chance to go for the job i wanted, the job i have worked 5 yrs to get too, and why, so we can plant a few trees, face it it doesnt matter what they do, the world is growing more people fly more people travel, its fact and it will continue. maybe get a real hooby and stop causing stress in ordinary folks trying to get about their day to day lives. LOCK THEM UP

Hate to think what job he was being interviewed for…
I’m guessing it’s not Tree preservation worker
or proofreader, for that matter…
Me? I think I’m not really an anti-war-rally type of bloke. Marches for justices? Meh. I much prefer to protest the things that are important to me, like the Government banning rape porn and the ability to buy one of their databases on eBay. Still, each to their own, eh?
“Today” being six weeks ago? Yes, I am a carping pedantic twunt.
And does Keith specify a source for these figures? Does he fuck.
This from Mark Tibbert of Wellingborough:
Many times. Many, many times.
“armed police [...] think they were dealing with terrorists and shoot the lot of them”
So that’s standard procedure now? I must’ve missed that memo.
I think we should rename this site Speak You’re PLANES. GET IT? GET IT? DO YOU GET IT? I MADE A PUN.
“Head hurting… hate any kind of thinking that shows even the tiniest iota of thoughtfulness and logic so must froth on about these loony lefty protesters but another runway means more planes and that means more chance of evil crippled muslim paedo terrorist immygrunts flooding the country and stealing jobs from good, decent English (not British) folk. Must also ignore fact that I have never been abroad myself since a disastrous school trip to France in 1964, involving an unfortunately placed mini-model of the Eiffel Tower…”
I love the idea that “[acrobatickenny1], scotland”, couldn’t phone up his potential new employers and say “hi, hippies on the runway, I’ll be a bit late.” Perhaps he was applying to work as a runway clearer and they would have expected him to clear the runway with the terrorist police, etc.
Then again I’m actually a member of Plane STUPID, so I am doubtless part of the post-censoring liberal conspiracy to make sure that Kenny remains a NEET.
It woz me wot told Keith about that so-called eco-friendly Toyota Prius. I read it on conservapedia.

So it must be true.
Er…
Anyone? Hello?
Clearwater, Florida, is the Scientology town, isn’t it?
Plane STUPID? Stupid CUNTS more like, hahahaha!!!

What the fuck do you mean ‘it doesn’t work like that’?
I love it when people invoke the Cows Release More Methane Than Humans meme without seeming to notice that possibly humans might have been involved in the removal of swathes of forest to make room for grazing cows and growing cowfood.
Why yes, I want to take away your steak as well as your God-given right to fly in a big metal box. It’s because I hate myself.
“Official and independent figures show that the so-called eco-friendly Toyota Prius has a CO2 figure per passenger kilometre around 60% higher than the new Airbus A380.”
This may actually be true, for a fully loaded plane. Of course, it still isn’t very impressive; the Prius, for all that people go on about it, is not an efficient car, and while a typical plane journey might be a thousand kilometers or so, a typical car journey probably isn’t.
Right. Outside. Now.
United State?
Having seen an example of his spelling, I would like to express my incredulity that [acrobatickenny1], scotland, got any further with his potential job than his first letter of application.
Mark Go – a sharp lad when it comes to puns – comments “Lock them up for breaking the law, and fine each and everyone of them to regain the costs of the police and time lost to travellers.” I’m confused as I thought HYSers didn’t like “travellers and that”? In addition he fails to point out that the reason the protesters don’t have jobs to go to is that they have all been taken by immagrents. Tsk.
Ohhhhhh!
NOW I get it!
Do the flying public appreciate their actions? No.
—————————–
They don’t think of themselves as champions of the flying public. you fucking idiot.
i know environmental activists, they don’t generally own cars. hard as it is for Mark to believe, some people can actually live by their principles to some degree. cunt.
I love your cheap stereotypes of anybody who may be against such childish behaviour (I is against Plane Stupid because I ate de imigrunts.). Rather pathetic sir. I’m hoping to have such nasty slurs thrown at me too, but I’ll add some data on the Pious, I mean Prius battery just to piss you off further:
The real problem with the overhyped Prius is how much environmental damage it causes to make one. The nickel used in the Prius battery is mined and smelted at a site so ecologically ruined that NASA has used the dead zone around it to test moon rovers. The plant spreads sulphur dioxide all across northern Ontario, causing acid rain. There is no life around it for miles.
Toyota buys about 1,000 tons of nickel from the facility each year, ships the nickel to Wales for refining, then to China, where it’s manufactured into nickel foam, and then onto Toyota’s battery plant in Japan.
That alone creates a globe-trotting trail of carbon emissions that ought to seriously concern everyone involved in the fight against global warming. All told, the start-to-finish journey travels more than 10,000 miles — mostly by container ship, but also by diesel locomotive.
But it’s not just the clouds of greenhouse gases generated by all that smelting, refining, manufacturing and transporting that worries green activists. The 1,250-foot-tall smokestack that spews huge puffs of sulphur dioxide at the Sudbury mine and smelter operation has left a large swath of the surrounding area looking like a surrealistic scene from the depths of hell. On the perimeter of the area, skeletons of trees and bushes stand like ghostly sentinels guarding a sprawling wasteland. The solution they came up with was the Superstack. The idea was to dilute pollution, but all it did was spread the fallout across northern Ontario.
I await your petty hatred. Good day.
Hello George! I hope you’re well on this fine day. I don’t know if you noticed but Alex wasn’t actually defending the Prius at all! He was saying that assuming a Prius is some kind of ecological wondermarvel, as Keith does, is a fallacy of the first water. You can kind of tell that from the place where he says,
But it’s OK, I appreciate how your angry skimming of the content so you could bash your Important Internet Punditry onto the keyboard would lead you to miss, oh I don’t know, the whole point of his post. Still, you managed to come across like Windsor Davies in a pomposity contest, and I found that quite amusing, so it’s not a complete loss.
love and snuggles,
William Thomson, First Baron Kelvin
“You managed to come across like Windsor Davies in a pomposity contest” not bad. Tell me what to write in order to conform to the “I have Hitler engraved across my frontal lobe” stereotype. I’m new to this whole get kicks out of annoying lefties game, so you must excuse my inexperience. Any help would be much appreciated.
You could start by having an actual point.
Speak to a lefty… while having an actual point? I thought people are booed and heckled when they attempt such a thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAhwgQ2HoF0&feature=channel_page
George, dear flower, I’m afraid I have some bad news for you. Your original argument was that the Prius is actually every bit – if not more – harmful to the environment than a normal car. I – and, er, anyone with a half a brain about the issues – completely agree with you. I’m afraid then, that by your own token, you are one of these “lefties” that you so despise. I think there’s counselling for that, but it’s on the NHS, so…
Also, on a broader point, I continue to be astonished that we get accused of being left-wing because we pillory right-wing idiots. This may come as a newsflash, but this site exists to take the piss out of the excesses of HYS stupidity, which comes in one flavour – fascist delight – and nothing else. Show me an actual left-wing idiot (and no, LLP does not count, he’s so centrist there are white lines painted down him) and I’m sure we’d have a pop at them too.
WE will pop at no one; I seek angry responses. If referring to you as a lefty yields such pissy responses as they have so far… then you’re a lefty!
On a serious note though (no, seriously) don’t you think that Plane Idiot and the like are naive, childish or even dangerous? What do they hope to accomplish by their silly little tricks? Does it break their hearts so much that common proles like moi now have access to cheap air travel? Or those idiots who disrupt coal carrying freight trains on the way to power stations. So long as these same naive and ignorant fools damn nuclear power we will have to burn coal. These environutters have no apparent constructive goal in mind.
If they want to reduce pollution for the public good then fine, but that seems a redundant cause in most of the developed world today considering how clean the air is. I don’t honestly see how throwing green slime on politicians is going to reduce pollution. It’s funny but it’s not going to reduce pollution. And on the subject of Ontario’s nickel: if Toyota didn’t use it then someone else would. Pollution in one form or another is a fact of life, so long as we want to keep living with all the toys we take for granted. Maybe Time should produce a sequel to their “radical Islam is here to stay; how to live with it”: “pollution is here to stay; how to live with it”
Pissy? George, have you actually read this site?
It wasn’t it was lumpy custard.
Ffucking Brits!
Hmm. How many of the people posting on HYS to advocate police brutality as a proportionate reaction to a protest they don’t agree with have posted elsewhere on the site to complain that we live in a police state?
Possibly none. I’m far too lazy to go and check.
