Technology is developing and in any country, third world, milky way, the middle class is rising. The middle class are being educated. The middle class are earning money. The middle class are consuming. The middle class are watching TV. The middle class sees us- a fleshy fat pig rolling in their sweat blood and tears -- they are outraged and fascinated.

What is this magical land of Western people? What are these new American values? Golden arches and swishes and appearing faster than you can say "Dead Ethiopian Girl." Gimme gimme gimme. JVC CANON MASTERCARD. Gimme gimme gimme. This uncontrollable growth and turn of events will create 5 billion more of US. US. Yes. Super-consumers, master waster, useless human blah blah blah.

We are growing exponentially and consuming at an alarming rate. Environment? When you've got 10 million kids going hungry, no way in hell are they gonna be EarthFirst! hippies.

Guess what's gonna happen if we try to take it away?

The thin man will tell you 'The greater good of the world? Bullshit, you fuckers had it for 200 years. You left us behind, but now we've caught up. We want in, and we want in NOW. We're there. We are exceeding you in ingenuity, innovation, technology, man power and goddamn it- just about everything you will ever possibly think of. Don't even try to close the door because we have seen what you have and we want it too. Don't you dare, you filthy fat man. Who are you to say no to a pissed off 18 year old with an AK-47?'

11 billion is inevitable. They will only stop consuming when we do.

Bleeding heart? It's not enough to bleed- it's a fucking fountain of blood. Guess what, we have to stop. And we have to stop soon. What's the worst that could happen? It's not about the earth. Earth has survived dinosaurs, meteors and universal explosions. But the problem is, we can't. We can't keep consuming and figure that we don't REALLY need that much ice anyway, and moose will find a better place to live. We're absolutely capable of being selfish so let's be selfish in the long run. What do you really want? The flat screeen TV and the SUV or survival of the human race?

The solutions have to start small, and it's not hard. Recycle, better public transportation, stop fucking consuming like rabid pigs with a god-given mission to eat eat eat eat up the resources. Go forth, rise, and wake the fuck up. The free ride is over.

CONSUME FOR YOUR IDOL FHQWHGADS OMGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
Period.

You should write the text around your drawing, and fill your page so we have difficulty seeing the drawing.

that would suck because it would take away from the image.
the most effective advertising is the cleanest.
