Good stuff. Exactly the type of smart, serious, thoughtful image makeover they need to cross the partisan divide and win over skeptics. Newt himself couldn’t have done it any better.
Reminds me of an album cover, albeit one I can’t quite place. Something prog-rock, maybe? It’s “Houses of the Holy”-ish but that’s not the one I’m thinking of. I think.

For some reason I keep seeing that Coca-Cola commerical in my head…”I’d like to buy the world a coke, and…something something…harmony”.
This is the same stupid stuff PETA does (probably the same folks)…stripping nude to protest fur.

G on August 18, 2007 at 4:17 PM
Are they trying to make the point that global warming causes hippies to not bathe and do stupid crap?
Ah. Point well made.
Rosetta on August 18, 2007 at 4:18 PM
Great, leave all those shadowed footprints and body grease on the glacier surface to enhance the heat absorption and accelerate the melting.
Dusty on August 18, 2007 at 4:19 PM
OMG
trailortrash on August 18, 2007 at 4:21 PM
They look truly carbon-neutral.
AtomicAmish on August 18, 2007 at 4:21 PM
Ewwwww, where is the black rectangles? Where are the fat people? Haven’t they heard about shrinkage?
I have questions…that should be understandable.

Mallard T. Drake on August 18, 2007 at 4:24 PM
One is a tragedy; 1000 is a statistic, or however it goes. That picture doesn’t evoke sympathy for human beings; it just suggests a lot of animals out sunning themselves.

Wouldn’t all that body heat, y’know, Hasten the demise of said glacier?
TheSev on August 18, 2007 at 4:33 PM
Eh, Allahpundit, shouldn’t Global Warming be capitalized? As in Catholic, Buddhism, or Muslim.
Or did you intend to insult the followers of the Great Algore everywhere?
TunaTalon on August 18, 2007 at 4:37 PM
Tunick’s last(?) mass nude shoot was in Mexico City (Subjects were doing the jobs that no good Catholic “peasant” Mexican would do.)
One has to have a bit of grudging admiration for how this two-bit pervert (peeping tom) has conned so many other perverts (exhibitionists) into helping him line his pockets.
baldilocks on August 18, 2007 at 4:38 PM
Oooh…so edgy. They’ll have something to congratulate themselves on years from now. They made a difference.
I couldn’t imagine a more stark contrast between these immature narcissists and our troops, who are self-sacrificing adults who have taken on real responsibilities in a climate that is currently 115 degrees farenheit.
These people disgust me.
Dork B. on August 18, 2007 at 4:40 PM

andycanuck on August 18, 2007 at 4:40 PM

Seixon on August 18, 2007 at 4:40 PM
They shouldn’t lie there next to the glacier too long or they’ll run the risk of developing polaroids.
windbag on August 18, 2007 at 4:40 PM
Real hippies would be having sex out there.
Losers.
Dork B. on August 18, 2007 at 4:48 PM
Don’t ever mention Newt in a post about nudity. Not for any reason.
JackStraw on August 18, 2007 at 4:49 PM
Now I live near Buffalo and I know a thing or two about naked snow angels. You’re supposed to do a shot, then run outside and make the angel, then return to the bar for another shot. It looks like they all just passed out. Pansies.
trubble on August 18, 2007 at 4:52 PM
Allah,
This picture doesn’t remind me of an album cover, but it does remind me of pictures of the Holocaust. As do the artiste’s other photos, particularly this one and this one.
Maybe that was his point: The coming Apocalypse of Global Warming is like the Holocaust!
Buy Danish on August 18, 2007 at 4:54 PM
I guess this is what they mean by “naked science”.
Why is it the eco-nuts (no pun intended) always get naked to prove some point…a la the anti-fur peeps. But then, if they were to get arrested, would there be a need to ask “You have ID on you?”
JetBoy on August 18, 2007 at 4:55 PM
You have to enlarge the picture a bit to see it, but the guy with his head up off the ground right behind the nekked she-hippie in the bottom right corner looks just like Rob “Meathead” Reiner from the All In the Family days.
RW_theoriginal on August 18, 2007 at 4:55 PM
Spencer Tunick must have used Cristo the artist for inspiration. Cristo is the guy who wrapped two or three islands in the Florida Keys in pink material. Well I think this cals for some musical accompaniment.This goes out to Al Gore.
sonnyspats1 on August 18, 2007 at 4:58 PM
One of several good zingers! This one, however, caused me to envision Peter Gabriel and the other “Elders” out there in the buff. Arrgghh!
forest on August 18, 2007 at 5:01 PM
I’d say the album would be “Wish You Were Here,” as that is pretty much about someone going crazy.
Or, perhaps the soundtrack to “Better off Dead?” Madness’ “One Step Beyond?” Gretchen Wilson “All Jacked Up?”
As long as they aren’t listening to Clarence Carter :)
William Teach on August 18, 2007 at 5:05 PM
Once Clarence Carter has been cited there not much left to be said.
tmitsss on August 18, 2007 at 5:13 PM
I’ll pass, thanks.
OT: Look! A preview button! Much obliged.
baldilocks on August 18, 2007 at 5:18 PM
It’s clearly Gore’s fault.
Terp Mole on August 18, 2007 at 5:19 PM
At least they didn’t make us look. Oh. well. I guess getting naked for your cause might grab a few headlines (and jokes at your expense). Nothing like freezing your buns off to show that Global Warming is just a snow job.
Ordinary1 on August 18, 2007 at 5:23 PM
I tell ya, nothing but frigid people.

Wait. These people are losing to the muslims? How?
JWS on August 18, 2007 at 5:46 PM
This is meant to illustrate mind over matter….or maybe IQ over temperature.
Barely.
Keith_Z on August 18, 2007 at 5:49 PM
This looks familiar,remember the libs doing a show
about the homeless were they hired actors to portray
the homeless.But word got out from the homeless because
they had to round them up.And that’s because they complained.
Well i know this is probably photoshopped,but were are
the cute seals and polar bears,and while i’m on a roll
did the Eskimo’s get relocated,you know a beautiful
liberal global warming utopia.

profitsbeard on August 18, 2007 at 6:38 PM
And just how long did they lay there? 5 minutes? Just long enough to snap the publicity photos? Then throw the parkas back on and take the next carbon-guzzling flight back to the nearest Starbucks.
I’m not impressed. Google “40 Martyrs Of Sebaste” (or “Sebasteia”). When the hippies can last 3 days then I’ll be impressed.

You know, all that body heat probably isn’t helping the glaci…
Maybe I shouldn’t mention that.
BKennedy on August 18, 2007 at 7:22 PM
Global warming…confusing the minds.
They would make a good argument for that statement.
Here is a poster who has not spent any time in Berkely or Santa Cruz.
right2bright on August 18, 2007 at 7:24 PM
This is so funny.
I will never understand why people get up in arms when a glacier melts. That is what they do, they MELT—at least when they are not advancing to middle Europe or middle America crushing everything in their paths!!
ICE MELTS SO RELAX!!! IT’S OK!!
Ohh no!! The glacier is melting, it must be man-made global warming!!! Err, maybe not people…maybe it’s because the glaciers have been melting ever since the Ice Age was over, derr duhh!
Do these people panic when the ice in their drinks starts to melt? Do they fret about their carbon footprint then? Good Lord Almighty! Do they die of fright every Spring??? Inquiring minds want to know.

G, LOL!
I don’t get the album cover connection. To me it looks more like an illustration from the cookbook Silence of the Lambs – Chapter 4: Hannibal’s Deli Selections
NightmareOnKStreet on August 18, 2007 at 7:38 PM
A WORKING PREVIEW BUTTON! Thank

The album cover that came to mind was Muse’s Absolution. And it was actually a little cooler here today, so I guess the photo shoot worked.
saint kansas on August 18, 2007 at 8:05 PM

I think you owe Jimmy Page an apology…Robert Plant might well be a bit daft, but Jimmy Page and John Bonham were right proper villains in the true and fullest anti-global warming of senses.

Allah… many thanks for the preview feature, its wonderful and awesome !

Too bad they all didn’t stick to the ice. Especially certain parts!!
ChrisIansNana on August 18, 2007 at 8:41 PM
Looks like a good place for crop dusting. Just another excuse for these people to get nude in public.
sMack on August 18, 2007 at 8:46 PM
WARNING! MORE NUDIST PROTESTERS IN THE LINK BELOW (and nothing you want to see – although you really have to see it.)
After a quick glance at the picture, I can see that scrotum man wasn’t there.
The guy should really try to be at every nude protest. The group pictures could be gathered into a book where you have to find him in every picture.
Canadian Infidel on August 18, 2007 at 9:12 PM
Queen’s “Fat Bottom Girls” alBUM cover?
Not sure what the real name of the alBUM is, just remenber the nekkid chicks on bicycles.
Looks like a polar bear buffet of tuna pate rolls to me, and hey, where is the diversity?
AZCON on August 18, 2007 at 9:20 PM
Geez, given all the album cover talk, I’m surprised nobody’s mentioned the Butthole Surfers yet…
Miss_Anthrope on August 18, 2007 at 9:27 PM
Wonder who pays their way for times like this, while normal people are working, holding down normal jobs.
Not just morons, but also self-absorbed slugs.
petefrt on August 18, 2007 at 9:34 PM
It does not look like a glacier to me. It looks like a gigantic inflatable mattress with all kinds of nude babes on it. What’s with leftist causes and nudity? More to the point, why is nudity associated with global warming?
At times like this, I realize just how stupid a huge portion of the civilized world is. These idiots are actually laying nude on the snow to protest something that doesn’t even exist outside the political bent of their minds and only because they consumed the propaganda they were provided.
I look at that and I see the premise of a Michael Crichton horror movie.
jihadwatcher on August 18, 2007 at 9:34 PM
Vaguely Pink Floyd-ish. Also looks a little like a group of seals sunning themselves, in an unpleasant sort of way.
Frozen Tex on August 18, 2007 at 9:37 PM
OT: Er… Allah, I’m going to have to backtrack on my earlier statement just a bit.
After using the preview function a couple of times, I now realize it does not provide an accurate display of how the post will actually look. So its not really doing what it needs to do. Maybe you know that, and your still working on it.

1GooDDaDDy on August 18, 2007 at 9:38 PM
I’m thinkin’ that since they are laying on their backsides they must be suffering from “brain freeze”
Ordinary1 on August 18, 2007 at 9:45 PM
Seeing as how they like asinine statistics like these:
They probably melted enough ice with their bodies for a few of them to drown in.
Ortzinator on August 18, 2007 at 9:54 PM
Is this how I get tons of naked chicks to show up at my house? If so, I’m having a “global warming pool party” tomorrow!

Geez, I hope they don’t freeze to death or anything. Darwin, please do what you must.

Miss_Anthrope on August 18, 2007 at 10:21 PM
Yes, now I remember what Michael Crichton horror movie this reminds me of. Coma.
jihadwatcher on August 18, 2007 at 10:31 PM
jihadwatcher,
That’s it! And coincidentally Crichton really knows his Global Warming stuff too.
Maybe he could write a new novel combining elements of “Coma” and “State of Fear”. The book cover is already designed for him.
Buy Danish on August 18, 2007 at 11:33 PM
Where are the Polar Bears when you need them ?
Maxx on August 19, 2007 at 12:04 AM
….And also to call attention to the fact that it’s always the grossest people who are the first ones to get naked in public.
Side note: HEY! A preview button!
RightWinged on August 19, 2007 at 12:25 AM
Somebody save these people with global warming before the poor people freeze to death on the ice! It is our duty to help the less intelligent.
Start those gas guzzling engines now, or you’ll be complicit in their deaths.
Kevin M on August 19, 2007 at 2:24 AM
If they were windsurfing on the glacier (nude, natch), that would be a statement.
Mark Jaquith on August 19, 2007 at 4:15 AM
We’re Sgt. Peppers frozen hearts club band…
Some snarky conservative should grill whoever did this about the carbon footprint of organizing and pulling off this event. Imagine all the gas used to drive people to the site (if it’s not CGI) and back again. Shameless I say.
Mojave Mark on August 19, 2007 at 9:01 AM
Hey, there’s a bunch of undressed naked nude people in that picture, and they don’t have any clothes on!
ZK on August 19, 2007 at 9:07 AM
Global Warming isn’t real, and getting naked on a sheet of ice is a stupid thing to do.
congsan on August 19, 2007 at 5:26 PM
Gore derangement syndrome.
Speakup on August 19, 2007 at 5:54 PM
I think they’re making the point that if the globe got warmer, we’d all save a lot on clothes, and some of us would look good doing it. It’s unusual to find myself agreeing with left-”liberals”.
Kralizec on August 19, 2007 at 6:23 PM
Woodstock quote – “And remember!……the person sitting next to you…..is your dinner!”
That pinhead artist probably wrought more human wear & tear on that glacier than any corporation ever has. What a bonehead. And for what it’s worth, sir, you are no Ansel.
