Forest Love video gets featured on... the O'Reilly factor?
You might have already watched our ForestLove video, as part of our campaign to ask the EU Commission to forbid the import of illegally logged timber in the EU.
We hoped from the start that this video would be featured in as many places as possible, since it's key to getting our message out and our campaign working. What we certainly never thought of was to be featured on Fox News, in the O'Reilly Factor of all places.
It's safe to say that Bill O'Reilly is probably not a fan of Greenpeace. So when our video, along with the entire campaign pitch were mentioned on his show, and the worse things he had to say about it were "salacious" and "this disturbs me", we were quite surprised. So here's something I never thought I would write: Thanks Bill, for helping us out.
Watch the video here (it starts at 01:23).
If all this inspired you to having some fun in a forest, don't forget to put your photos of yourself and your loved one(s) kissing in a forest in our flickr group.

Personally, I am not happy with this "help" O'Reilly is a jerk who does nothing but broadcast propaganda, and this one good deed does not make up for a career of misdeeds.

Great propaganda on behalf of OReilly...even if he does not support greenpeace activists,theres nothing more disturbing than what people are doing with the forests.
