Love to see the fun, artist/comedy stylings of Blue Man Group promoting a worthwhile cause. The men in the blue masks have partnered with StopGlobalWarming.org, Laurie David's virtual march cajoling governments, corporations, and politicians to end climate change. The video they produced for Earth to America (the climate change comedy show on TBS last year) is, in their tradition of high-impact performance art, random, a little cheeky, and might just be brilliant. Go watch it, then go join the march. Stopping climate change has never been so artistic.
