Extra Long Box! (Score 2, Informative)

Does no one remember this?:

"Environmental concerns of unnecessary cardboard waste from artists and consumers alike created controversy over continued use of longboxes. Musicians like David Byrne would incude a sticker over the packaging of his albums reading ""THIS IS GARBAGE", referring to the excessive material use of the longbox form. The satirical band Spinal Tap's 1992 studio album Break Like the Wind was sold in an "extra-long box" (an 18-inch longbox) -- a deliberate parody of the prevailing longbox packaging controversy, as well as a deliberate phallic metaphor."

So is it hypocritical for them to be performing at Live Earth? Or is it just hilarious? I'm tending toward the latter.
