Local writer/director/producer Michael Gleason recently sent us a link to his short comic news piece called "Arrgh! Taxes!" which we were planning on profiling today given that it is April 15th. However, one of his other pieces struck a chord with us about a topic near and dear to this column's heart: environmentalism. In his clip "Eco-tistical," he defines being eco-tistical as "someone who is more concerned about looking like they are concerned about the environment, than actually being concerned about the environment." He takes us through his decision to replace his Ford Taurus with a Toyota Prius, but he is concerned that his decision to purchase a hybrid would be eco-tistical. That is, he is afraid he's making the choice to buy the Prius for the wrong reasons. He considers instead planting trees or riding a bike to work. In the end he does choose a Prius because his "eco ego needs massaging." While he says this in jest, it is a true commentary on the way our society has grabbed hold of the eco movement.

Our own Phillie Phanatic was crowned the #1 sports mascot in the country by The Marketing Arm's Davie-Brown Index and reported on Forbes.com. We’re not too clear on what a Davie-Brown Index is, nor do we care. Our beloved Phanatic, born in 1978, beat out the likes of Mr. Met, Famous Chicken, and the Racing Sausages (!) for the number one slot, meaning his “ability to influence brand identity with the public” was higher. How one’s influence can be higher than a sausage is questionable, but we are assured the ranking was all on the up and up (see the top ten here).
