The plant demolition, though sloppy and rushed,
was completed today at a quarter to three.
But tragedy struck when the mayor was crushed
by a ninety-ton pitcher of Earl Grey tea.

So the ad makes you sympathise with cooling towers and then replaces them with faceless wind turbines?

I'm curious about them acting like they haven't seen each other in a long time. Pretty sure nuclear towers don't wander about.

That looks like the Athlone Cooling Towers in Cape Town.

A guy I know used to be a taxi driver in the early 80's. He'd often pick up tourists from the airport and bring them to the city, which meant he'd have to drive past those towers. One day a few Texan tourists were remarking about how poor some of the non-white communities and townships on the side of the freeway looked, and said that the apartheid government should do more to help them. He pointed to the cooling towers:

"You see those big grey things there? Those are giant soup pots. You won't find them anywhere else in the world. Every month they cook millions of liters of soup that is distributed for free to the poorer communities."

They believed him.

I don't hate you for re-posting. It frustrates me that I spend so much time on this website that I realize it's a re-post. When I clicked the link, I felt an equivalent to being trolled. I don't hate you for re-posting. Clearly all these other people here didn't see it the first time.

This is from that advert, isn't it?

I never got how that advert was supposed to make us support renewable energy... It's making us feel sad for the coal stations!

rocky_whoof · 4 months

We're all thinking it, but no one dares to say it.

We all feel bad for secretly wanting to see this done to a video of another couple of towers falling down that are somewhat more famous...

when you can learn to work and play, and get along with eachother. you've got to listen to your heart, listen to the beat, listen to the rhythm, the rhythm of the street. open up your eyes, open up your ears, get together and make things better, by working together.
