UK Energy Firm Bears Green Cross for Local Laud

To draw eyes to its eco-friendliness, UK-based energy company EDF put together this Frankenstein’s hide of an ad. It includes cuts from Thunderbirds and The Wombles, and bits of speeches by John F Kennedy and former President Clinton.

The last frame reads, “This commercial is made from recycled film clips.” It was put together by Euro RSCG and includes a hazy adaptation of Kermit the Frog’s “It’s Not Easy Being Green.”

Preach it, you long-suffering recycler you.

We can’t wait for the day that Kermit song is adapted for albino animals. Won’t be long now.
