Please EVERYONE we must watch this and psychically (not physically, but psychically) hold hands for a supreme empathy that will hopefully engender within all of us a mutual accord that is symbiotic with all that exists......eveywhere.
When you watch this, you WILL suffer dew-laden (as well as possibly dew-scented) teardrops of remorse over how awful we are as people.

the wail at the very end sold it for me - too beautiful - Thu, 9 Oct 2008 8:07pm Edited: Thu, 9 Oct 2008 8:07pm

I really hope this is fake and just a joke, but I have a really bad feeling that these people might exist. If thats the case, I hope a huge-ass Sasquatch happens upon these useless simple folk screaming and stomps the lot of them. - Thu, 9 Oct 2008 9:07pm Edited: Thu, 9 Oct 2008 9:07pm

Where’s the rest of the video? My money is that they all took their clothes off and had a big hippie tree loving orgy and spread their seeds of love all over the forest floor in hopes that they may grow a tree spawned from humans so they can fuck it and be one with the earth.... lol..Fucking hippies they must go home and cry at their WOOD houses every night after driving in their environmentally safe VOLKSWAGEN VANS, while wearing Birkenstock made from dead animals. Yes this comment was stereotyping, but I don’t care I'm laughing!!! - Fri, 10 Oct 2008 9:07am Edited: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 9:25am

Holy fuck I just actually watched that now. Wow. And I thought I was a hippie. I sing songs in the forest. I take walks in the forest. I make love in the forest. I do drugs in the forest. I really enjoy the forest. But these people are just fucked up. I mean, there's having respect and then there's having mental illness. - Fri, 10 Oct 2008 2:29pm

It's strange, but it's a pseudo religious radical political thing. There's a certain level of crazy that people are willing to absorb when they feel disenfranchised (i.e. DAJ) and this has to go somewhere. This has a higher level of novelty than your average evangelical freak out, but this isn't very much different. - Fri, 10 Oct 2008 4:37pm

In a lot of cultures dating way back, there've been "professional wailers" who are expected to be at funerals in order to provide an adequate amount of grief, or spur grief on for those who don't have it in them. So that must be where it stems from.
And some people really like to cry in front of people - annoying as all hell.
Those trees & animals must really want them out of their forest though. What a bummer. Creepy, and a bummer. - Fri, 10 Oct 2008 7:18pm Edited: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 7:20pm

"Yeah people caring about the environment fucking WEIRD guys!!!!! "

I dont see you out there crying with the forest. I dont think there's anything wrong with caring for the environment; but I draw the line when these smell-bots head out there and hole-fuck every tree like its a part of them. ITS A FUCKING TREE. I'll plant another! - Sat, 11 Oct 2008 2:25pm

How come no one is posting threads about people screaming to invisible beings in the sky? Is this any more ridiculous than say any preacher screaming out divine justice/etc/etc?

I'm not into going out and crying with the forest but I can see where these folks are coming from. At least their "deity" has some sort of real world connection. - Sun, 12 Oct 2008 11:13am

Plenty has been said and shown about religious zealots and people obsessed with God. Some of those people are downright scary. I saw Jesus Camp a while ago and it was actually disturbing how fucked up some of those people are. But it's nothing new.

But these guys are pure amusement. I get the feeling that they're out there because of personal issues that need an outlet. That woman with her enlightened "people are looking for answers", bla bla. Probably from a care-free upper middle class background, with her "enlightened" opinion. And of course there just had to be a guy with a drum.

Seriously, screaming at trees that you love them? Earthly connection or not, it's just pathetic and pointless. Sitting in a circle wailing and beating a drum to express your disagreement. But yeah, I hope they drove out of there in their toaster vans feeling better about themselves. - Sun, 12 Oct 2008 12:11pm

I agree, that stuff is equally as ridiculous as the wailers. - Tue, 14 Oct 2008 2:26pm

Hopefully, this will catch on and religion will be abolished or at least removed from governments:
