KrisCan is not the only one to come up with this idea, check out this ;)

Yup. Oily Cassandra was first, and more informative, but I like KrisCan, too.
If I could think of a way to blame my fat, lard arse on PO and convince people this will happen to them, too, if they don't start conserving, localizing, etc., we could scare the PO into them! Anywho...
Perhaps we could get them to do a collaboration... There's a nice musical collaboration on YouTube two guys did living on different continents.
They'd get my vote.
Cheers
oilyCassandra and KrisCan collaborating, that has got to turn some heads for sure.
They'd get my vote to, I'm not sure what were voting for though
I thought they might be the same person. Does either one of them have an ID here at TOD? It would be interesting to ask them some questions.
Duh.

I don't think Oily Cassandra has an ID here...
Oh ya...right. Could of checked users on TOD. Didn't think she'd use her same name. So Kriscan, congrats on getting some PO message out there. Do you have some journalism experience? You seem pretty natural with your interviews. What's next in marketing PO to the populace?
My favorite one is Kriscan out on the frozen lake talking to a guy about how to conserve energy at home ("so, I have to vacuum my refrigerator?"). Then the ice on the lake begins to crack. Little dance on the ice...cute...and then Kris interviews a passing bicyclist on the snow (chance meeting...me thinks not). Another dance ensues. I actually appreciate that and the city-folk interviews more because Kris' personality comes out which is quite different than you might think looking at the lusty oil messages. I like her much better as a "beat on the street" reporter of PO.
I will volunteer to direct:-)
SoD you beat me to it. Just saw that video a week ago on video sift.
Whatever gets people's attention. Remember those "I'd rather wear nothing than wear fur" ads?
I notice that Oily Cassandra has 111,000 views compared to Luis' Olduvai 2008 pt1 with 3,500 views.

I don't understand, what's the correlation...?
Are you serious? Olduvai is deadly serious educational - but is not reaching the wider audience hoped for. The simple sexy message here is getting much wider exposure.
At some point we need to dumb down this message a lot - UK red tops have tits on p3 and footie on the back - and not much in between.
I know Euan, just being sarcastic, It's a bit disturbing that we've come to a time where we can't discuss stuff like this and it doesn't hold peoples attention. It's especially frustrating in America, where everything is a joke. I attribute it to the lose of community and social isolation brought about by technology and changes in culture. Also We have a failed education system which is more about memorizing things for 2 weeks, than about learning anything.
Agreed, it's a brilliant strategy--I sent her my accolades!
But it's mainly directed at men, who are already altogether too dominant in peak oil awareness. A subject for a future post I've been considering: how to interest more women in contending with peak oil!
