Waving goodbye to The Age of Stupid + Piers needs you

Location | Mood | Date 13 January 2010
<< STOP PRESS -  Piers the Stupid windfarm man is back in Bedford Town Hall all this week, making one last attempt to get some wind turbines stuck up at Airfield Farm. ie in the very same spot he was fighting to get them up in the film, back in 2005. He'd greatly appreciate any support from anyone who can turn up at the hearings dressed in blue. See his letter at the bottom of this message. >> Hello and Happy New Decade,

Weirdos on our website this weekend

Location | Mood | Date 19 November 2009
Hello, We're making individual web pages for the 1000-odd people who've worked on Stupid and our other films over the years (that's the "more than 1,000" people, not the "1,000 weirdos") during the web blitz this weekend. If you've helped out in any way - from funders to lawyers to translators to flyer-giving-out-volunteers - and would like to be included, email  webweekend@ageofstupid.net by 6am this Saturday morning (don't bother sending in afterwards as it will fall into a cyber black hole).

Evening All, Wow. Boris eat your heart out. In less than 24 hours since sending our SOS, Stupid supporters have cycled to Team Stupid's rescue and snapped up 11 of the last 20 shares (55,000 of the 100,000 pounds) - and 93 people have paid for 2,331 quids worth of stuff for the Stupid Show (loving all the comments you've all been writing - camera-gal Zeina and writer Mark Lynas seem to be particular popular for some reason. Hmmmm, why is that?)

Rescued by Boris... and you?

<<< STOP PRESS. Sold Stupid to the BBC at the weekend. Confirmed they will broadcast before or during Copenhagen. Yahey >>> Afternoon, Yes it is true, the Mayor of London did rescue me from some feral kids* last week, all the gory details below. But on to a rather more serious rescue... looks like Team Stupid will be bankrupt by the end of this week... eek...

Happy 10/10 Day, Whilst Team Stupid have been busying themselves with the small matter of launching some film or other simultaneously in 63 countries ("all in a sticky-tape and scissors rocket" - Angus, Italy), Team 10:10 have been hatching a genuinely brilliant competition to mark this, the 10th day of the 10th month...Yes, one very lucky Ten Tenner is going to win a complete green makeover of their home, worth at least £15,000, courtesy of the Great British Refurb.

Will leave others to write about the first part (USA) of the Global Premiere.... not least because none of us still standing at 6.18am in New York have two braincells to rub together...   See you Franny, Lizzie, Rhiannon,  Jahlia, Tom, Talanne and Laurel

Morning,   If you're still in two minds as to whether to amble down to your local cinema tonight (in the USA) or tomorrow (everywhere else) to join the Global Premiere, just have a wee look at this video of the intro to the show - hot off the edit decks - which reduced the whole of Team Stupid NY to tears last night.  Meanwhile, the NYC takeover continues:
