Its about time America doesnt run the world, the WWF had nowt to do with this add and yet you harp on about how hard done too the New Yorkers are. Have a look at your own government there are so many conspiricies going on there that i dont believe they were innocent in the 11/9 attacks. Yes 9/11 is 11/9 in the real world maybe a reason why your always late when it comes to world wars

I hate it because it’s true. I won’t give any dough to WWF either, but that’s because the powers that have successfully exploited the WTC bombing have rendered my family broke. We’re still better off than the tsunami victims, though.

We have given to this organization in the past. Never again. Ever. You do not prey on acts of war and terror to promote your Panda conservation program or whatever the he11.

Screw these guys.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Its true though.. The tsunami was so much more devastating and all people care and talk about is “911″. 911 this, 911 that. Terrorist, War. All political and pushed. I bet Americans do not even know about the tsunami

Oops. Mayhap we spoke too soon. WWF is denying any connection to this ad. Damn. I normally check things like this three ways from Sunday before commenting.

Here’s their denial:
“â€œWWF strongly condemns this offensive and tasteless ad and did not authorize its production or publication.” Read the rest here:

I second you, goose. Self-righteousness can be an ugly thing.

There’s no “maybe” or “possibly” about it.

This ad is so awful I will never give the WWF any money – or time – again until they pull the ad, apologize and fire the agency that created it.
