The Spice Girls new single "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)" is about how their friendships have endured over the years, in spite of the fights, failures and scandals. In the video, they writhe around in lingerie on fur rugs and dry-hump cold , angular modern furniture. With the exception of one horribly-staged shot designed to imply hot, lesbian action, the girls seem utterly unaware of each other and the very meaning of the song they're singing. The clip is as detatched from the song as America is from David Beckham. I wonder if the visionary behind this clip is the same brainiac who decided not only to fly them to each of their tour locations in a private jet, but advertise it. In one of the boldest anti-environmentalist displays in recent memory, Virgin Records (once owned by cultural visionary and all-around green guy Richard Branson) is donating one Lear jet for each girl and her respective camp of kids, nannies, stylists, and egos. According to Alex Lambie, who runs a website that helps consumers compare energy options, the combined flights will create nearly 10,500 tons of carbon dioxide. Granted, many stars have private jets, but you'd think these five girls would have at least been consciencious enough to fly together in one plane. With all this sensible, well-managed behavior, you gotta wonder why they weren't invited to LiveEarth.
For Christmas I got an Energizer rechargeable AA battery pack. Now that I have it, I'm like "Why the hell aren't rechargeable batteries the only kinds that are sold?" It's so obvious when you think about it... Why wouldn't you spend 25 bucks on a charger and 4 double-A batteries that you would NEVER HAVE TO REPLACE?!?! It goes without saying that it's the ecologically responsible thing to do (dead batteries take up space in landfills and leak mercury into the ground that contaminates the earth's water supply), but what about the savings? It's so much cheaper than buying battery after battery and just throwing them away. So buy yourself rechargeable batteries and save some cash... and a little landfill space.
