Maybe you should wear gloves and a mask next time you play with your console :P
John’s quote ‘Milk goes sour if you leave it out’ comes to mind…

Give it a break y9ou tree hugging hippies.
I wish they would release a seal clubbing video game. I’d be the first in line to buy it.
And the equipment they used to make this video contains those same chemicals. Knuckleheads.
Are consoles harmful to have in the house or just harmful after they are broken open in a landfill. Because there is a difference between me being poisoned and everyone being poisoned.
These hippies need to go take a chemical free soak in the river.
#2 is right, I was thinking 2 things on that vein as i watched. 1) so, greenpeace is fueling the problem by *buying* the consoles they tested, and 2) humm.. hey hippie, what do you think that haz-mat suit is made of? or that robot giger counter thing?
Where’s Cartman when you need him?
The beef, pork, chicken, fish and just about anything in a can, box or bag you buy in the market is full of harmful chemicals
I frankly won’t buy any food without Butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene. Without it, my bacon just lacks that certain zing.
#7, I can make you an asbestos covered lollipop just for you, if you want it 😉
#8, Could I have the monosodium glutamate sprinkles please?
Pretty much everything with a battery contains harmful chemicals. The idea is you’re not supposed to open it. Forget toxins in the food supply, obviously game controllers are the real threat facing this country.
#1, a seal clubbing game is what the nintendo wii was made for, just remember to wear the wriststrap when swinging the wiimote!
And I am sure all of the greenpeace people avoid planes, trains, cars and boats.
As they have harmful chems on them?
Oh wait… the Rainbow Warrior II is a boat right?
Shame Greenpeace, shame!

I guess Microsoft should cancel its plans for a new XBOX console made from whales and baby seals.
So it’s only consoles that are toxic? Not DVD players, PCs, iPods, TV sets, cellphones, digital cameras?…
In any case, every little bit counts to raise awareness, I guess.
Pfff, what ISN’T full of harmful chemicals?
Personally I’ve become desensitized to the whole issue.
As far as I’m concerned, I’m being bombarded with potentially dangerous chemicals all day long.
Am I supposed to be surprised that there’s another one to add to the list?
