The
citizens of Berkeley, California pride themselves on being the most
socially conscious environmentalists in the world. They also hate war,
since every war these days is dubbed a "war for oil." But that doesn't
stop Berkeley environmentalists from driving big cars and enjoying the
convenience that comes from consuming all that oil we shouldn't have!
Many of their fuel-burning high-priced cars display bumper stickers
condemning the oil-based economy and the culture of consumption.
The Concourse of Hypocrisy is a competition to honor the most
hypocritical vehicles in Berkeley.
