Environmental scientist Actor Mark Ruffalo wants you to support Greenpeace in attacking Lego.
"Make your own Arctic protest sign with the Protest-O-Matic! http://t.co/e2FjQoENhD"

Lego has had a partnership with Shell Oil for some time and the Shell brand appears in some of Lego’s play sets. Greenpeace is now attacking Lego as a way to publicize their opposition to drilling for oil in the Arctic. They even produced a macabre “Lego Movie” of their own which has gone viral despite some legal kerfuffles.
Ruffalo’s latest tweet promotes something called the “Protest-o-matic.” It’s a slick web app where you can come up with your own protest sign for your little lego hippie and his friendly (totally not man-eating) polar bear.
Want us to chant your words at a protest this summer? Send a slogan to the Protest-O-Matic!: http://t.co/tNpnq8iYLy #BlockShell

We’re guessing that not everybody’s words will be chanted at their protest.
No, no! Please no, LEGO! WATCH this video to see how Shell pollutes children's imaginations #BlockShell http://t.co/BJ5tPKP4Yv

That’s rich. Polluting children’s minds with junk science through movies, television programming, and school curricula is the bread and butter of the environmental movement. Guess they don’t like competition.
