From Enn:

WASHINGTON — California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger told environmentalists Wednesday they needed to stop nagging and make their cause sexy, likening it to bodybuilding’s evolution from a weird pursuit to mainstream.

“Bodybuilding used to have a very sketchy image,” the former bodybuilding champion told an environmental forum at Georgetown University. “… It had fanatics and it had weird people. …But we changed that. … It became sexy, attractive.

….”we have to make it mainstream, we have to make it sexy, we have to make it attractive so that everyone wants to participate,” Schwarzenegger said.

First of all, who the hell is “we?” Second of all, what does that say about our culture? That in order to convince people that we need a healthly landbase, clean air to breathe, and clean water to drink, we have to “make it sexy.”

People doing activist work, in this writers opinion, are already sexy as hell. I think Arnold is talking about democrats though, which aren’t sexy. As a joke, someone a while back sent me this link (Warning: this is a porn site). It’s run by a bunch of hippies from the Netherlands or something, who donate the money they make off their site to help save the rainforests. Maybe someone should send Arnold the link while the rest of us actually address the problem.

Update: I’ve been drinking wine, so I just emailed Governor Schwarzenegger’s office.

I received this as part of a message after I sent it:

“Governor Schwarzenegger is committed to restoring your confidence in state government. As the Governor has said, with hard work and your help, California will once again be the “Golden Dream by the Sea”.

…..more like the “Golden Dream Under the Sea.” ZING!
