It is because of groups like this that offer nothing but useless information (and forces it on others) that make me mad that we have freedom of speech. I'm gonna play my "toxic" Wii and DS, on my also toxic Panasonic TV and recommend others do the same. Greenpeace is by far the least useful of the environmental rights cults. This makes me want to buy from all the brands that are 6 and lower just to spite them. Except Microsoft because I'm an Apple person. Who gives a crap what greenpeace thinks?
