The Age of Stupid Any Londoners have a couple of weeks to help us climb out of a quagmire of web, video & accounts tasks? Not minding spreadsheets or watching slow video uploads would help. Desire to help us move on to the more pressing task of getting together plans for COP15 - essential. Also good if you want experience in a small film production/campaigning org. Or just to help out Team Stupid. Email volunteer@ageofstupid.net.

The deal is, you buy a chance to enter the competition for £10.10p. You can buy as many chances as you like - but you also have to answer a question about Picasso's work. Each entry with a correct answer ...

I love how you very mysteriously say: "Don't ask where we got it from." It wasn't from Boris was it? (Any further potentially publicity-generating rumours should be added here!)

change deniers have stolen a massive head start - let London's Science Museum know that you want to see strong action on climate change. (And examine the evidence if you still need any convincing.)

Are you talking about God? If God is agree with all of this Crap. I don´t want to go to heaven any more! It seems to me much more satanic than anything else. It is the AGE OF STUPID. And we are part of this! I am not religious, but do not blame God for all the crap things human beams have been doing!

The Age of Stupid Just re-watched the 55-min Making Of Stupid documentary on the Guardian website. Sums the whole thing up extremely well, even though there's (obviously) no mention of the Global Premiere or 10:10. Would we have started if we'd known then how damn hard it was going to be?? (Probably)

good documentary on the movie....the movie is amazing & definitely worth watching too. .. it's hard not to be moved in to action by it. For amateur documentary makers this doc is a fascinating insight. Thanks

er - sorry about that Jason did not intend to promote an "evil corp" in my reference. Was referring to one of the pics in the referenced link - 350.org and the corporate giants on the same backdrop - no worries though :)

5,248 rallies in 181 countries, rallies under water and on top of mountains, and the attention of the world's media.

And there wasn’t a rock star or movie actor in sight—it was ordinary people ...rallying around a scientific data point to send the message that our leaders actually need to lead.”Read more
