Save the Earth -- scrap your Hummer!
Top Gear
We've all been there. You're on stage in front of tens of thousands of screaming fans at one of the biggest live music events of the year, you get a bit over-excited and you promise to do something that's not just a bit stupid but logically incorrect, too.
And so it happened to the intriguingly named Will.I.Am, little brother of Dr. Seuss frontman Sam I Am, singer from popular music ensemble the Black Eyed Peas.
I do not like those Black Eyed Peas.
Do not make me eat them, please. |
At the Live Earth concert at Wembley last month, the full-stopped crooner vowed to blow up his Hummer... for the good of the environment.
Those tasteless things they grow down South
Are out of place inside my mouth. |
Anyone spot the flaw in that one? Reduce the harmful combustion-based emissions of your bling-wagon by setting it on fire? Hmm. Why not just set light to all those nasty oil wells to stop people putting the stuff in their cars, too?
Take them away! My face I'll cram
With plates of tasty green eggs and ham! |
But Will (as he's known to his mates) has seen the error of his ways. With the benefit of hindsight and nice calming cup of tea, he's agreed instead to dispose of his Hummer by other means. "He's going to crush it up and recycle it," said a Black Eyed Peas spokesman.
This week, on a very special Un-Pimp My Ride . . .
We're sure that Will could've been even more eco-friendly if he'd put his mind to it, though. How about converting his Hummer into a mobile sanctuary for displaced otters or trading it in for a lovely bunch of carbon credits? Rock 'n' roll...
