Will.i.am : IDIOT

Will.i.am turns up to climate change debate... in a huge gas-guzzling helicopter


His trip from London was a total of 286 miles and used 71.5 gallons of fuel, ploughing three-quarters of a tonne of CO2 into the atmosphere, which is the same as the average UK person produces in an entire month.

Despite his highly polluting journey to Oxford university, speaking at the talk, the star said: 'Climate change should be the thing that we are all worried and concerned about as humans on this planet, how we affect the planet, our consumption, and how we treat the place that we live in.'

But his transportation to the event did not escape the attention of those at the university - or physics professor Mr Allen.

He said: 'The irony didn???t escape everybody.'

Seemingly oblivious to the furore that it might cause, the pop star even tweeted pictures of the 'hip.hop.copter' when he landed

He added that a better understanding of the problems is probably more important than whether he travelled in the helicopter.

    London to Oxford is nowhere near 286 miles.

    Think he was in Cornwall or somewhere, running a leg of the Olympic torch relay.

    Carry on.

    Yeah - so to get them mileage, he must have done a few extra fly overs, circled around and whatnot, like doing boastful swoops over traffic - making teh rap hands and WHAT gestures @ commuters.

    This is the same William.I.Am that told STRUT LEGEND Monty Stark that he was going to use an uncleared Stark sample and that if Monty sued Will's label, he (Monty) would get a nicer payout than taking a point on the release. And Monty did so, and it was all good.

    so...

    He was down in Taunton, my old stamping ground. Probably the first time most folks there have ever seen a black person let alone a devil's whirlygig.

    Is that true?

    It's good to see that rappers have got in on the Daily Mail publicity machine as well now. How they've gone from Norman Tebbit to declaring Rick Ross to be the new Biggie Smalls is beyond me.

    Hey - apart from taking Planet consuming hypocrite Rap despoilers to charge on their inconsistent ways, they also run entire Vice stories now. Its a paper of note.

    regardless of how he got there, I'm curious as to why he was speaking at a climate change event -
    could they not get hold of Bono or something?
    I imagine it would be like inviting our environment minister to speak at a hip hop conference.

    That Root Down video is hella nostalgia inducing. Miles, Egon, Rhett, Thes from an earlier era.

    Sampling the rarely-heard "Knot Just Knee Deep" by some unknown band called "Funkadelic" for some BEP remix wasn't too brilliant on his part either.

    Or like that doofus Wyclef wanting to run for president in Haiti.
    Because being a megalomaniac pop star of the douche variety with half of Hollywood gassing up your head makes it necessary for you to not be satisfied with mere wealth fame and adulation.
    No.
    There has to be more than that.
    To preach and rule and point the masses towards the light.
    And tweet about it while flying around in a helicopter.
    Fucking buffoon.

    They couldn't just send hologram Will.i.am?

    Damn, I really thought that once Will.i.am was involved, this whole climate mess would be solved ASAP.

    At least he dropped some knowledge on those Oxford clowns.

    I like the part when he's trying to do the 16 note auto pitch assignment to that bird chirp and can't figure it out.

    How stupid can some people get.
    This is like a climate change denier driving a Prius or riding a bike.

    Thes's "what the fuck is he doing" face around 5:40 is priceless
