watch it: “Clean Coal Air Freshener”
Notable because it’s hilarious… hilarious because it’s by Joel and Ethan Coen: This is part of the This Is Reality campaign to point out the fact that there’s no such thing as “clean coal”… no matter what Barack Obama says. “Clean coal harnesses the awesome power of the word clean…” That is the kind of … more…
