I should have died at the age of two

That’s according to the website for Planet Slayer, an environmentalist show for kids out of Australia.  No joke, no paraphrase.  It says: “find out when you should die.”  Then, lest you miss the point, the next page says: “When you’re done, click on [skull and crossbones] to find out what age you should die at so you don’t use more than your share of Earth’s resources!”  I took the questionnaire, just to find out what it would say.  According to Planet Slayer, I should have died as a toddler.

This childrens’ show is promoting sentiments that Pol Pot would have found extreme.  Yes, it’s taxpayer funded, of course.
