Get a free bikini car wash from Angry Green Girls


"The long-standing tradition of using attractive ladies to draw attention to a cause continues unabated out in Los Angeles thanks to Angry Green Girl and her free hybrid-only bikini car wash. The girls in green offered up free car washes to drivers of hybrids, smart cars and anything they consider environmentally friendly. There's a slight bit of Miss Teen USA 2007 in Angry Green Girl's answer to the question about what she's angry about: "The environment, what we're seeing as of present, as of today, will only exacerbate - it's not going to go away of its own accord," but maybe this is somehow the fault of the video editors. The local news anchors at KTLA certainly weren't focused on her message when they discussed the clip.

Distracting anchors and getting on the news was kind of part of the idea. After all, Angry Green Girl's slogan is "Shamelessly promoting everything I got to save our world." Check is all out the videoes after the jump. Thanks to Megan for the tip!"

3. These women are too stupid
to see the connections between exploiting resources, exploiting women, and conquest and domination in general. You can't promote male supremacy and entitlement without encouraging everything else that comes with a sense of entitlement, it's all knit together.

4. I'm confused how promoting everything she's got helps save the world.
doesn't that just mean she's promoting herself?

5. if you look at the bigger picture, no
she's promoting more than "just herself" - just like women in beauty pageants are promoting more than "just themselves."

They're promoting exploitation as a positive aspect of our culture.

17. yes, good point. But I suspect she thinks she's promoting herself in much the same way she would be
if she got on a reality show.

10. Ewwww, nasty greenwashing alert!!!!
Hairy armpits and no deodorant!!

Also, nothing like wasting precious water that is dwindling at a RAPID rate. With all the dead trees on 2 million acres in Colorado, their water source is becoming


less





and less






and less







and less.






"Green girls"??? My ASS!!!!!


And about those drivers..........I wonder how much coal-powered energy went into pumping that water ALL the way from the Colorado River?!?!?!?

Can you say "Hypocrisy"??!?!?!?!......sure ya can!

11. I don't understand your interest in or knowledge of their shaving habits.
Some of that seems like dumb right-wing talking points about women who aren't republicans.

However, I do agree with your point about the hypocrisy of promoting car washes to save the environment. I wish you had let that stand on its own.

Apologies to Steely Dan but, can't you take a lil stereotypical comic relief?? They probably have breast implants made of tofu, as well!

And, BTW, I wonder how much methane comes out of a vegans butt!....Hmmmmm....Maybe someone has a climate model for THAT!!?!?

20. But... they don't look angry.
Are they secretly angry on the inside?
