CBS Interactive’s Jim Edwards says that No Pressure (the now notorious eco-fascist snuff film) is great and 10:10 Global should never have apologized:
Why Killing Kids in a Climate Change Ad Was the Right Thing to Do
10:10’s apology and retraction of a short film in which schoolchildren, famous footballers and the actress Gillian Anderson are blown to smithereens for not supporting the reduction of carbon emissions was exactly the wrong thing to do: The video (below) was both disgusting and hilarious, and the campaign should have thumbed its nose at its critics.

Wow. He must be a true believer to come out with this after the film and its producers are already being vilified.
POSTSCRIPT: Ed Morrissey proposes a thought experiment, that might (but probably won’t) help Edwards understand why people thought the film was, er, not great:
Can you imagine the reaction had an organization like Move America Forward produced a video like this, where those who didn’t support a robust strategy for the war on terror were blown up by a button-pushing advocate for the strategy? Especially children in a classroom being terrorized by their teacher into compliance with the groupthink?
I can. But I think Edwards probably can’t. The ability to put one’s self in another’s shoes is usually not strong among the fascists.
