Although a previous post indicated the Yes Men as the group behind the McDonalds' interactive division hoax, an MTV article identifies the perpetrators as the McDonald's Resistance Collective, (yet another) activist group working against McDonalds' practices. However, it seems the Yes Men supported them in the stunt.
The video game industry is bigger than the movie industry. The average
age of a gamer is mid twenties. The equipment costs and types of games
say; Video Games are not for kids anymore. What kinds of games are out
there? Sadly, it's still mostly destroy and consume. There is a set of
more thoughtful games out there like the Sims and Katamari Damacy.
There are also things like the Indy Game Festival that features games
like That Cloud Game. You just push clouds around but it's great
looking and fun. The games of the future will inspire creativity and
interaction.
At the International Serious Games Event
in Birmingham, McDonalds' Interactive Division announced the separation
of the charter from the parent company. The decision was taken after
the unit developed a simulation of the fast-food industry, for use by
managers in developing market strategies and when a climate simulation
module was added, it showed those strategies helping lead to global
calamity.
This showed, once again, that McDonalds' Corporate Social
Responsibility is definitely not in the agenda of the management and
internal discontent is on the rise.

Of course, another Yes Men op :)
"The annual Game Developers Conference hosts the successful Independent
Games Festival, and last year’s winners ranged from cartoony
sidescroller Alien Hominid to Steer Madness, a vegan-action game about
a cow that saves other animals from the slaughterhouse." "Steer Madness
is a fully-featured 3D action-adventure game for home computer. You
play as Bryce the Steer who narrowly escaped the slaughterhouse. Now
liberated, you are on a mission to save your animal friends!"
The launch of the Australian Business Roundtable on Climate Change signals a shift in Australian business's response to global warming. Leaders of some of Australia's largest corporations are calling on the government to do more to combat climate change, citing the enormous affect it will have on agriculture and tourism and the problems that Australia's policy uncertainty is having on business.
House
boats are popular in The Netherlands, they've always been part of the
dutch culture. But the country sinks a little lower every year and
architects are thinking about floating cities in case of future
Waterworld scenarios...
ok i tried to wipe that smirk, i tried to not be cynical... but I
can't. Srry. So here it is; Chevron's "Wont You Join Us" Campaign to
get to the bottom of this whole environmental issue that humans and
consumers have been causing.. [gritting teeth, must not rant..]
This new Halliburton technology
is going to be a must-have for managers operating in an environment
subject to climate impacts. We trust this to be the corporate version
of Noah's Ark.
E3 starts soon. You won't find a lot of games like That Cloud Game
which I wrote about recently. One game that won't just be destroy the
target is Spore from the creator of Sim City. The link is to a popular
video demo of the game play.
A new group appointed Wednesday by the governor will study how climate change will affect Oregon residents, businesses and the environment. Gov. Ted Kulongoski appointed 21 business leaders, scientists and sustainability experts to the Climate Change Integration Group to continue state efforts to address global warming.
BERLIN — Global warming is hitting the poor the hardest and climate change could cause worldwide destabilisation if solutions are not found, one of the world's leading environmentalists said on Friday. Klaus Toepfer, a tireless promoter of the Kyoto Protocol as head of the U.N. environment agency for the last eight years, said in an interview he believed its 2012 goals could still be reached even though he said it was still "not enough". Toepfer, a driving force behind using the World Cup soccer tournament next month to project an environmental message and a former German environment minister, also said he sensed growing support for Kyoto in cities across the United States. "I know Kyoto is by far not enough," said Toepfer, who last month stepped down from the U.N. agency in Nairobi since 1998. "We have to do more because climate change is not a forecast for the long-term future but it is happening now.
The 2012 Olympic Games will be held in London. "The Olympic Park in
east London will transform one of the city's most underdeveloped areas
into a model for sustainable urban development, building inner city
communities linked to sport, the environment and health." They promise
it will be green too.
The
UK government has appointed an international envoy on climate.
John Ashton, a career diplomat and government adviser, will be charged
with building new international partnerships to tackle climate change.
His appointment, as Margaret Beckett's representative, follows her move
from the environment portfolio to become Foreign Secretary.
Friends of the Earth welcomed the move, though warning that Britain's
position is undermined by its rising emissions.
"One of the areas where climate change needs to be prioritised by the
British government is in the diplomatic service, and we do need someone
who can help Britain maximise its leverage in countries across the
world," Tony Juniper, director of Friends of the Earth (FoE) UK told
the BBC News website.
The
UK government is a "climate laggard" when it comes to policies on
tackling global warming, MPs say.
A report for the all-party environment group of MPs says current
efforts are failing to curb emissions from businesses, transport and
homes.
It says ministers have failed to "turn rhetoric into reality" when it
comes to delivering plans to reduce emissions.
Meanwhile naturalist David Attenborough has urged society to help stop
global warming becoming a "catastrophe".
The broadcaster told the BBC's 10 O'Clock News climate change was an
issue that "everybody needs to be involved in".
"We almost have to feel that if we waste we are morally responsible."
