YOU use recycled paper—what we’re doing is too important for that!
Rolling Stone magazine says it’s going to start using paper that, um, isn’t recycled. But, see, their paper supplier (Canadian!) reportedly plants tree seedlings here and there to accommodate their “carbon footprint” —wink! *
Like nearly all liberals, the elites at Rolling Stone, can’t, you see, stoop to your level, because their purdy pictures of Al Gore (in virtually every issue they interview Gore) and pictures of hip-hop stars are just too important to the world, and they look better on the fancy non-recycled paper. Shut up and do as they say, not as they do. They know best. It’s for your own good.
No no I’m dead serious.
Read the article in the New York Times (takes 28 seconds).
…what I’m afraid they are doing in the process is diverting attention away from the need to use recycled paper.” He added, “All the evidence shows that the greatest ecological and social benefits come from using recycled paper.”
Eric Bates, deputy managing editor of Rolling Stone, said, “We think recycled paper is great.”
But, he added, “we’re publishing some of the world’s greatest photographers and artists,” and the print quality on recycled paper does not do them justice. “What we’re trying to do is what we can do. We can’t put out the magazine we put out on recycled paper.”
It’s for the kids! Well in a manner of speaking it is.
* I’m cool too! See my blog entry, “My experiment in thinking like a liberal. Official result: I feel like a total idiot.”
