It's pretty clear now that oil companies are terrified of people seeing "An Inconvenient Truth" and then limiting their oil consumption. First there was the amazing "We Call It Life" video. Now, check out Al Gore as The Penguin. A little investigating has made it clear that this silly video was produced by Exxon's PR Firm and surreptitiously placed on YouTube. This is the best they could come up with? That the movie was boring and that people in red states liked X-Men 3 better. Real wits over there.

However, Al Gore does look good with a monocle. New look?
