A company that supports human betterment policies (“our advocacy for a free and open society is what truly sets us apart”) has scored a major public relations victory over the Church of Climate concerning kiddie vandals programmed to believe Climate Armageddon.
“Two women from an environmental group threw pumpkin-colored soup at the artwork, which is behind bulletproof glass at the Louvre and did not appear to sustain damage,” the New York Times reported.
