Secrets Of the Manbearpig Diet

Do you enjoy the sense of adulation you feel when lecturing the blandishing masses about their lifestyle choices, but you're not sure your own contradictory habits render you sufficiently hypocritical to reassure yourself of your fundamental superiority to the common folk?

If you're having trouble self-affirming your right to conform to special just-for-you standards, Manbearpig recommends wailing on God's most fragile creatures.

ONLY one week after Live Earth, Al Gore's green credentials slipped while hosting his daughter's wedding in Beverly Hills.

Gore and his guests at the weekend ceremony dined on Chilean sea bass - arguably one of the world's most threatened fish species.

Also known as Patagonian toothfish, the species is under pressure from illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities in the Southern Ocean, jeopardising the sustainability of remaining stocks.

The species is currently managed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Living Marine Resources, the body which introduced a catch and trade documentation scheme as an attempt to tackle illegal poaching of this species.

How do you ask an endangered Patagonian toothfish to be the last to die for a bloated hypocrite's daughter's wedding feast?
